A 62-year-old widow, Madam Nkechinyere Ndukwe, has cried out to Mrs. Priscilla Otti, the wife of Abia State governor, to urgently intervene and save her from being evicted from her property.
Mrs. Ndukwe, a retired school Head Mistress, said some persons who are claiming ownership of her building at No.62 Mission Hill Umuahia, have removed the doors, windows, fence of the property and also planning to demolish the house.
Her appeal is contained in a Save-my-Soul letter raised by the Human Rights Committee of Nigerian Bar Association NBA, Umuahia branch, on behalf of the widow and addressed to Mrs. Otti.
In the letter, Mrs. Ndukwe lamented that the same persons have been intimidating her to sign a document suggesting that she had sold the property to them, which she refused to sign.
Ndukwe, who explained that the house jointly belongs to her, her daughter and son, regretted that the acclaimed buyers of the building are saying that they have purchased it from her son, even when she is not aware of such a transaction.
The widow said that she now lives in darkness without any form of protection as electric wires, doors, windows, fences and burglar proofs have completely been pulled down by the acclaimed buyers.
The NBA Umuahia branch of the Human Rights Committee appealed to the governor’s wife for urgent intervention in the matter.
