Nigerian man slumps, dies on hearing the mysterious death of his brother in Scotland
Security and health Experts in Glasgow, Scotland are battling to unravel the mystery surrounding the sudden death of a young Nigerian businessman, John Oguchukwu on May 10 2023.

John, owner of JP Stores Glasgow, whose 46th birthday anniversary was billed to take place in August 28 this year died in his sleep some hours after he returned from normal work.
Effort by his heart-broken wife, Paulene Oguchukwu (Phd) to wake him failed as the deceased did not respond to his usual telephone alarm. She subsequently discovered that her chubby husband was breathless.
Amidst the confusion, Paulene alerted John’s elder Brother, Uchenna when effort by the Emergency Medical Team in Glasgow yielded no result, having failed to revive him.
The wife disclosed that though her husband had appointment to see his medical doctor at day break, he never had any sign of failing health.
According to her, John had executed his normal daily activities before he returned early in the morning on that fateful day.
An autopsy was conducted on the deceased at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital May 23 2023 but surprisingly, the cause of John’s death was uncertain.
Certifying this position, Doctor Ming Han Lim ordered further investigation on John’s body fluid, the result of which sources say could be release in six months time.
Nigerian Federal ministry of health June 5, granted permission allowing the remains to be flown back home .
Health Ministry relied on the assurances by James Down (in charge of the embalment) on May 24 2023 that the young John’s body does not pose any risk.
John who was awarded Master of Arts and Science (Msc.) in Business and Management by the University of Glasgow on 13 June 2014; also left two daughters: Jessica and Holy as well as 15-year-old son from a lady-friend of Anambra state origin who possibly resides in Canada at present.
Amidst the disturbing incident, when the remains of the young man who is fondly called the ‘pet Brother’ of the Family arrived Nigeria June 10 2023, the eldest sibling, Mathew Uwakwe collapsed and died in a nearby village.
Sources close to the family alleged that Mathew could not bear the reality of the death of their “pet Brother” who unfortunately died at his prime.
Some family members at home who could not come to terms with the uncommon development had insisted that John was in coma and would wake, only for Mathew to hear that John’s corpse had already arrived Lagos.
A particular source further disclosed that though ‘Dee Mathew was sick ,”we did not know who informed him that the late John’s body had been brought to Lagos and was billed to arrive Imo state, their home state, the following day”.
Mathew who was said to have gone out of his house to recharge his telephone so that he could be abreast with the details of the unfolding developments, suddenly slumped and died while he waited for the unstable power supply in the village to be restored.
Meanwhile, shocked friends and well-wishers of the Oguchukwus across Nigeria and beyond have thrown their weight behind the bereaved family.
A call engineered by former Eze Ndi Igbo in Italy, Chief Clement Maduneme , Uruaku of Uruala and the Ex-President of Anglophone Catholic Community, Padova, Chief Ferdinand Obiapuna sparked up a sustained supports.
Erudite African Author and former Senior Correspondent of Business Day Newspaper, Abuja, Nnorom Oguchukwu says that he is short of words.
In a telephone call, he hinted that the funeral is being organized for their beloved Brothers, Mathew and John next Friday, July 28 2023 in their Isunjaba home town in Imo state.

Breaking: Court of Appeal rules in favour of Turaki -led PDP candidate for Osun governorship election
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Thursday, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in Osun State was validly nominated by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
The court also ordered INEC to list the PDP logo on the ballot ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The Court held that access code is neither a creation of the Constitution nor the Electoral Act; rather, a creation of INEC’s guidelines and cannot, in any way, override the provisions of the Constitution.
Section 288 of the Constitution does not specify the method for nominating candidates; it only states that the names of candidates should be forwarded to the Commission.
The court further held that the defendant (INEC) should take steps to include the name of the appellant on the ballot paper.
Additionally, the court ruled that the primary election conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was a valid primary election in law.
The three-man panel of justices—Justice Mahmud, Justice Jaro, and Justice Ankawere, was unanimous in its judgment.
