In his words, Okuekwe wrote;

“Ogochukwu Emena (Ogoo) was the secretary of Ultimate Love Foundation for 3 years. During her days as secretary of the foundation, the CEO of the foundation Comrade Justin Anthony (Akunaebuaju) never owed her and he took her as a sister and daughter. At Late Ogoo’s birthday, the foundation ensured that she was well celebrated.” 

“Towards the end of 2022, Late Ogochukwu told her director that she want to resign and switch to nursing her director agreed and Late Ogoo was given all her financial rights and appreciation. Even her mother too was appreciated financially.

“Later, after Ogoo passed exam to start nursing, her communication with the foundation disconnected. Even when she became sick, the foundation was not told and her sickness came out of complicated stories ranging from putting her in chains and using her picture to remote her.

“Yesterday, Ogochukwu gave up the ghost after suffering and it was Okuekwe Aguata who informed the CEO of her foundation and till now, the young man has not rested.”
