ALLEGED WILL OF LATE HIGH CHIEF OLU BENSON LULU-BRIGGS

“I Chief Olu Benson Lulu-Briggs, of the Briggs family of Abonnema in Akuku-Toru Local
Government Area in Rivers State, now residing in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, hereby make
publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former
wills, codicils and any other form of testamentary bequest.

“First, I wish to be buried and for my wife Seinye Lulu-Briggs, if she survives me, to
take active part in my funeral services. I direct that my funeral service be simple and
done in Kalabari tradition as allowed by my Christian beliefs in recognition of the dignity
of my position as head, Young Briggs House. I request that there be no mourning or
weeping. Any member of my family and a beneficiary under this will, who refuses to
participate in my burial shall be completely excluded from the benefit under this will, as
if such person had predeceased me.

“For the reasons specified in a letter, I have executed on the date of this will, I have
not made any provision in this will for my sons, Dumo, Senibo or Sofiri. If this will is
contested by any of my sons, I request that such letter be introduced as evidence of
the reasons why I have not made any such provision.

“I will establish a trust in Nigeria, the Ebuye Trust, and for the purpose procure the
incorporation of holding trust company (ies) in Nigeria. The Ebuye Trust shall be set up
broadly in accordance with the following directions,

“The trustees of the trust and directors of the trust holding company(ies) shall, at all
times, comprise a maximum of 4 persons, who in the first instance will be His
Excellency Donald Duke, Mr John Sassine, Dr A. Odaga and Seinye; and in the event
that any of them decline to act as trustee or a vacancy otherwise occurs, shall include
such other persons as the remaining persons nominated as trustees shall decide.

“The executive trustee and director of the trust holding company (ies) will be Seinye,
whilst the other trustees of the trust and directors will act in a non-executive capacity.”

In another schedule, the Will reads: “I, High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs, on this 2nd day of
October, 2012, being of a clear mind and without neither duress nor persuasion do
make the following declarations:
That my following children namely: Senibo Lulu-Briggs, Dumo Lulu-Brriggs and Sofiri
Lulu-Briggs are expressly excluded from all forms of inheritance from my assets,
estates, companies and all forms of property (ies), acquired) by myself or accruing
from my interest and all money in all my Bank accounts, both personal, joint and
companies where my interests are in existence.
That the female by name Nwamma Opusunji brought to me by my cousin, Madam
Soton Tom Briggs, who hails from Opobo, is not my daughter and I have never
acknowledged her as such. Therefore, I hereby declare that on no account should she
be entitled to inherit directly or indirectly from my estates, assets, property (ies)
belonging to me or any interest in such business/companies both on my personal
acquisition and interest in various companies.”
