An elderly widow identified as Mrs. Dorothy Onwudirimba, has accused her stepson, Okonkwo of forcibly evicting her from her husband’s home and vandalizing their property in Imo state.
Punch reports that the woman claimed that Okonkwo acquired a court order to destroy her property at Umuntumogu in Imo State’s Okwuohia Obowo Local Government Area.
The widow was filmed while mourning and sobbing as some men tore off the house’s roof and threw her belongings outside.
Speaking on the ordeal, the widow said:
“Last Tuesday, I was at home when the carpenters and police officers armed with guns drove into our compound and started removing the roof of my house. I was amazed and started asking them why they were removing my roof, but they didn’t answer me.
When the police left our compound, one of my stepson’s children, Chinonso, entered the house and started throwing my property away. My children and I lost a lot of our personal belongings, including money.
After that, we were locked outside the house by my stepson and we are now stranded in our community; my daughter-in-law who gave birth a few days ago is somewhere with her baby while I’m now in someone’s house.”
