Former Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) head Lauretta Onochie has refuted rumors that she was evicted from a London property.
Onochie was reportedly humiliated and left abandoned after being ejected by family members, according to reports that surfaced on Saturday.
Onochie responded on Sunday, though, and said that she wasn’t lost.
She claimed that after a struggle, she was able to reclaim her home after her cousin, whom she was housing, sought to seize it.
She wrote on Twitter,
“WHAT A BATTLE, I RECOVERED MY HOME.
“My Cousin, Victor Ashiedu Fejokwu and his wife, Ruth Emereze were stranded, infact homeless at the time. I took pity on them, took them in, to house them in my home.
“A year ago, when I started making plans to return to continue housing them, they blocked my phone number. I had no access to my letters. Consequently, I missed quite a number of appointments.
“Having the key to the property, I turned up at the door, twice. They installed bolts and bolted the door from the inside and refused to let me in.
“They stopped contributing to the rent when they both have jobs, preferring to host lavish parties.
“I tried again for the last time. When I knocked, his wife sneaked from the garden into the house, to bolt the front door against me.
“Miraculously. Miraculously. She forgot to lock the garden door through where she sneaked into the house. I got access to the house through that door,” she said.
Onochie further stated that they became nasty and when she called the police, they were dealt a heavy blow and told to vacate the house.
She added that they moved out two days ago and they will reap what they did to her.
