Barrister Ben Ijewere, counsel to Mrs Josephine Onuwabhagbe Ndubuisi-Kanu, has described publications by one supposed Gladys Ndubuisi Kanu as untrue, misleading, and mischievous, in some newspapers that she is the only legal wife of late Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu.

“We write on the instructions of Mrs Josephine Onuwabhagbe Ndubuisi Kanu, hereinafter referred to as our client,” the counsel said.
“Our attention has been drawn to a public and published declaration by one supposed Gladys Ndubuisi Kanu and published in the Vanguard newspaper of 18th January, 2022 and Guardian newspaper of 20th January 2022 and other online news platforms declaring that she is the only legal wife of late Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu.
“The public is therefore put on notice that the statement contained in the publication is untrue.
“The public should disregard the statement from Gladys as it is false, misleading and Mischievous,” he said.
