A 75-year-old widow, Mrs Dorothy Onwudirimba, has alleged forceful ejection from her house after her stepson, Okonkwo, destroyed the property on December 6. PUNCH Metro gathered that the widow, alongside her children and grandchildren, was left homeless after Okonkwo and some other persons removed the roof of the house and threw the family’s property outside. Narrating her ordeal, the mother of five said she bought the land where the house was built after her husband died. “When the police left our compound, one of my stepson’s children, Chinonso, entered the house and started throwing my property away. How can you eject a widow from her husband’s house?” he added.
