They stressed the importance of upholding their father's good name and image, stating that publicising family matters only brings ridicule and condemnation.
"If we cannot build on it, it is therefore incumbent upon us to tread with caution and care when we address family matters in the public domain," they said.
Follow court's advice, siblings told
The family members recalled the advice of the Grand Qadi of FCT Abuja, who recommended presenting the case before the Shariah Court for proper investigation and administration.
They urged their siblings to seek redress in court rather than dragging the family's name through the public domain.
There Is nothing to be gained in the end game of this pattern of agitation except self-destruction to the family," they added.
The Omolori family also addressed allegations that one individual has been suppressing their agitations, citing numerous entities that have previously addressed the matter, including Omolorl family meetings (2017), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigerian Police, Grand Qadi of FCT Sharia Court of Appeal, Berekete Family Human Rights Radio Station, Sultan of Sokoto, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Okovi Super-Clan and Omavi Sub-Clan.
"We will advise that any of our siblings who feels genuinely aggrieved should seek redress in the Sharia court, which is eminently qualified and empowered to adjudicate on such matters as humbly advised by the grand Qadi of FCT Sharla Court Of Appeal," they concluded.
