Mrs. Victoria Nwachukwu, a widow who lost property worth five million naira in the wake of the October 2020 #EndSARS protest, has threatened to commit suicide if help does not come her way.
Reports reaching Oyoaffairs.net revealed that Mrs. Nwachukwu lost her property in the Iseyin area of Oyo state, due to the protest which was hijacked by hoodlums, who took to the streets to vandalise and loot properties.
The widow who lost her husband about five years ago, had cried out for assistance from well meaning Nigerians and the Oyo state government, adding that the aftermath of the incident has led her into depression.
Mrs. Nwachukwu, had moved with her three children to the ancient town of Iseyin from Mbaise, Imo State in 2000.
The mother of six lamented amidst sobbing that items like 300W Eleqax power generating set, one Thermacool freezer, two big orthopaedic foams, two gas cookers and cylinders as well as three boxes of her clothes and jewelleries worth 800 hundred thousand naira were carted away.
Also among her stolen possessions were electronics and other household items, cash worth about N350,000 from her business which was kept in her apartment, and other items too numerous to mention.
According to her, “I lived at Chief Tunde Mustapha’s apartment at Omoloju, in Iseyin, the apartment is beside the office of the Immigration Service and I had travelled for business when I heard of the incident, I rushed back to meet all my possessions stolen and the apartment vandalised.
“I am a widow who made a living from selling clothes, I have six children that I was taking care of through my trade, I can still not understand why I was the target of their attack, all important documents that belonged to my late husband, myself and my children were stolen or thrown away, we are devastated and I have not been alright since then.
“All my business is gone, my possessions, I am left in the cold, I am now living off my people, Governor ‘Seyi Makinde should please help me, people of God should come to our aid, I am depressed and may do anything bad to myself if this continues.”
Recall that the #EndSARS protest in Iseyin was reported to have been hijacked by hoodlums who attacked the facilities of security agencies in Iseyin, looting the facilities and personal possessions of the officers and vandalising many buildings in the process.
