houses, a hotel, drinking bar, 3 stores and 2 vehicles. According to the
Complainant, he is one of the seven children his father had with three
different women.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:

late father had taken it upon himself as the eldest son to manage his late
father's property without assistance of the family elders.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:
