A single mother, Ms. Ndidi Enekwechi, has raised alarm over what she described as her forceful and unlawful eviction from her late father’s house by her elder brother, leaving her homeless and vulnerable in Nise community, Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The incident occurred at the family’s two-storey building located at No. 25 Enekwechi Avenue, Ngodo-Nise, where Ndidi had been residing in a three-bedroom apartment reportedly allocated to her by their late father before his death.
Speaking to journalists in tears, Ndidi, who identified herself as the second surviving daughter in a family of eight, disclosed that the family lost three children, leaving behind two women and three men, some of whom currently reside overseas.
She accused her elder brother, Mr. Damian Okwudili Enekwechi (popularly known as Ejiamatu), who she said lives in his own private residence, of storming the family house with hired workers on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, and ordering her to vacate the apartment without prior notice.
According to her, Damian is bent on rendering her and her other siblings homeless by insisting that the building would be renovated and rented out to tenants. Ndidi, however, questioned where she was expected to relocate to, especially following the death of both parents.
“As I was asking my brother, who is the eldest in our family, where he wanted me to go, the workers he brought had already started removing my windows and scattering my belongings,” she said.
“I had no option but to involve the police so the matter could be handled in a civil manner.”
Ndidi further alleged that her brother threatened her, boasting about his influence and belittling her status as a court clerk.
“He told me I’m just an ordinary court clerk and that he would deal with me in such a way that those advising me to go to the police or human rights commission would regret it,” she added.
She expressed fears for her personal safety and the security of her belongings, revealing that upon returning from the police station on Thursday afternoon, she found her apartment doors broken, with workers already inside her bedroom and other rooms, allegedly acting on Damian’s instructions.
Ndidi said she has reported the matter to other siblings living abroad, but claimed that Damian has refused to take their calls.
Now visibly distressed and uncertain about her future, she is appealing to the Anambra State Government, human rights organizations, and civil society groups to urgently intervene in what she described as a delicate family and human rights issue.
“I have nowhere else to go,” she lamented.
