Widow, Children Rendered Homeless As Brother-in-law Takes Over House by blamingthedevil: 4:18pm On Sep 02, 2021 |
An 84-year-old man, Maxwell Akuwuodor, has allegedly rendered a widow, Mrs Rosena Akuwuodor, and her four children homeless. Our correspondent, who visited the scene of the incident at Umuokoji Umuorii Uratta in the Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State on Wednesday, saw the woman and her children crying. The widow alleged that her brother-in-law came with thugs and some men in uniform on Tuesday to evict them from the house. The 49-year-old woman told our correspondent that her husband, Reginald Akuwuodor, died on September 9, 2020, and was buried on November 20, 2020. Rosena, who spoke amid tears, said her brother-in-law threw her belongings out of the house with the help of the thugs and locked the gate. She said, “My husband’s only surviving brother, Maxwell Akuwuodor, evicted me and my four children from my husband’s house on Tuesday. He threw out our loads and locked the house. This was a house built by my husband. He said he had obtained judgment against my husband, which is not true. “As I speak with you, I am homeless. We have not eaten since yesterday. We have no place to go. We have neither taken our bath nor changed our clothes. The world should come to my rescue. I am a poor widow with three girls and a boy. He threw away everything that belongs to us inside a house built by my husband, including the credentials of my children. The house is a five-bedroom bungalow.” Her brother-in-law, Maxwell, told our correspondent in a telephone conversation that the eviction was carried out by staff of the Owerri High Court. He explained that he got a judgment against the widow’s husband on a matter of rightful ownership of the ancestral land. But counsel for the widow, Uche Ubochi, said the court ruling was wrongly executed. Ubochi said the court didn’t say that the widow and her children should be evicted from her husband’s house. He noted that the judgment permitted Maxwell to take over another house said to have been built by his father (widow’s father-in-law). The lawyer said he would file a motion in court against the court bailiff for wrongful execution. https://punchng.com/widow-children-rendered-homeless-as-brother-in-law-takes-over-house/ |

Mtcheww... "He explained that he got a judgment against the widow’s husband on a matter of rightful ownership of the ancestral land. But counsel for the widow, Uche Ubochi, said the court ruling was wrongly executed." Don't fall for the headline and go after Igbo culture. The widows counsel already acknowledged that courts ruling but said that they will appeal. Now let me comment, I blame the dead man and his wife. Most especially the dead man. Why did he coerce his brothers property when he knows that one day, the judgment will come. As for my blame on the Widow, why did she support her husband when she knows that one day the truth will be naked like a prostitutes yansh? They say "Behind every wicked man, there is a feminist that wants to be pitied because she is a woman" Now the widow wants to use her new "Widow status" to blackmail the court and people. Infact, she should be investigated. Instead of flaunting her widow card, she should humble herself and appeal to us to beg the young man to take the other house the court permitted him to instead of the one they are occupying |

Davash222:The only wickedness here is the late husband coercing his brothers ANCESTRAL land with the help of his wife. How I wish you understand what ancestral land means. I am sure he must have been richer than the brother. 1 Like |

Davash222:I support justice. No matter how wicked it will sound when delivered. Someone coerced a poor brothers ANCESTRAL land for decades and nobody cared to interview him and his family on the grief they go through daily when they reflect that their rightful land is coerced by someone because of some financial inequality but when he got his rightful property back, the media started caring about the previous oppressors. Presenting them as the victims. This is exactly what will happen when the Hausa take their land back from the Fulani. If you are an Hausa man reading this comment, this is a trip to the future. That time, all the world media will show interest to where the Fulani will stay, portraying them as victims and you Hausas as heartless people forgetting how the Fulani forcefully took over your land for centuries in the first place 3 Likes |

Ancestral land, the land also belong to the children of the dead man. Even if the court rule in your favor, the altitude shown by the Brother in law tell it all. He is just taking advantage of the helpless lady, remember the deceased husband build the house. Atleast show compassion and accommodate the children, they are also your children. |
