5th Avenue by 51 road junction in Festac, Lagos has become the resting place of a 65-year-old woman since she became homeless.
The Nigerian woman identified as Florence Owanogo was said to have been deported from the United Kingdom after 25 years and found upon her return that her house was no longer hers.
This is as the woman’s tenant sold off the property to someone else without her knowledge.
A Twitter user @Diixixme who shared the woman’s predicament on social media said he had before now thought Florence was mentally deranged but summoned the courage to interact with her on the night of Wednesday, February 9.
It was then she opened up to him. According to him, the 65-year-old woman said she had reported the issue to the police but was detained for 3 months after the case was compromised.
Perhaps resigning to fate, she began sleeping by the roadside.
The embittered narrator frowned at the wickedness meted to the woman and called on well-meaning folks to fight for Florence.
“She spent 25 years in UK struggling just imagine this kind of wickedness I said to her ma’am, all i can do for you is to take your case to social media we might find someone who is willing to help she said is alright & I asked for her permission to snap her she said is alright,” he wrote.
