"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 have jobs, preferring to host lavish parties.

“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 called in an IPOB thug and a young lady.
"They became nasty. Of course, I called the police who dealt them a heavy blow, telling them they must vacate for me unless I was willing to continue to house them. The cowardly thug ran away before the arrival of the Police. The other young lady went to my bed and spread herself out. Of course, I got her out.
“Then they started pleading to stay.

Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu has reshuffled the governing board of the NDDC and appointed Chiedu Ebie as the new chairman and 16 other board members.

This means that Tinubu has terminated the appointment of Lauretta Onochie by former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ebie is an ally of the former governor James Ibori and served as SSG of the immediate past governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State. He was suspended from the PDP in May 2023.
