- The ex-aide to Buhari said there was no iota of truth in the version of the incident making the rounds.
- He refuted reports of being thrown out of the apartment she now claims is hers
The former Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Lauretta Onochie, has reacted to reports of her purported eviction from her United Kingdom (UK) apartment.
Reports had emerged on Saturday that Onochie was humiliated and became stranded after she was thrown out by family members.
Some viral videos on social media also showed Onochie and some persons arguing about sleeping arrangements and who should get which room in what is believed to be the apart in question.
Reacting to the report, the ex-aide to former president, Muhammadu Buhari, said there was no iota of truth in the version of the incident making the rounds.
He refuted reports of being thrown out of the apartment she now claims is hers.
She explained that her cousin whom she accommodated while she was looking for shelter when she arrived in the UK with her family tried to take her home but after a battle, she recovered it.
She wrote on X, “WHAT A BATTLE, I RECOVERED MY HOME.
“My Cousin, Victor Ashiedu Fejokwu and his wife, Ruth Emereze were stranded, in fact, 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 had 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.”
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
