Family stops Mikel Obi’s brother from suing Ifeanyi Ubah

Mikel Obi’s elder brother and Heartland goalkeeper Ebele Obi has declared that he will no longer drag FC Ifeanyi Ubah billionaire owner to court after he assaulted him at the end of a league game.

You all recall Ubah punched Ebele after a league game involving Ifeanyi Ubah’s football club and Heartland which led to sanctions from the League Management Company on both parties. Ebele was to have sued Ubah 200 million Naira for damages.

The former Rangers captain told AfricanFootball.com that some lawyers had started the process to
sue Ifeanyi Ubah, but he has now stopped them following a decision at the family meeting in Anambra State.

“I am not going to press charges against Ifeanyi Ubah again. Lawyers have started the procedure, but I will have to tell them to withdraw,” he informed AfricanFootball.

“This decision was taken after a long family meeting in our village in Anambra with my father, mum, wife, brother and sisters in attendance.

“My dad said I should withdraw the case in the name of almighty God who we serve and that I should let God handle the case.”
