A 70-year-old widow, Mrs. Theresa Igboanugo, has been forcefully thrown out of her husband’s house by her step-son in Ifitedunu village, Anambra State.

The accused, Mr Uchenna Igboanugo, also allegedly dem@lished part of the house, where the widow has lived for years.

It was gathered that this happened on Saturday, April 23, 2022.

According to a source, “Mr Uchenna has been trying to throw his step-mother out of her husband’s house since the man d#ed about 10 years ago.

The woman has only one son and five daughters. The accused succeeded last year in forcing the son to pack out of the house he shared with his widowed mother because he was very poor. After attempts to get the Umunna to fight for the son, the accused used his money and influence to ensure the son does not return to the compound.

After that he channeled his energy towards making sure he fr#strates the old woman to leave the compound so that he can gain complete control. Last Saturday, he went to the compound with a group of men who carried tools and forcefully demoli$hed the widow’s toilet, bathroom, kitchen and threw her belongings outside, claiming that the compound belonged to him and she should follow her son.

The widow in question was married to the deceased, Mr Igboanugo, for over 40 years. The house she’s being thrown out of is the house she has lived in for the whole period, raised her children in it too. She was lawfully married as well.”
