A heated land dispute has erupted in the Amechi Idodo community of Enugu State, Nigeria, involving a widow, Ngozi Okonkwo Ike, and Patience Ozokwo.
The controversy centers around a piece of land allegedly sold by the widow to Patience Ozokwo, with the widow’s daughter, Ebere Okonkwo Ike, claiming that the sale was unauthorized and motivated by the family’s lack of a male heir.
According to Ebere, their late father left only one piece of land for their family, and Patience Ozokwo took advantage of their situation to acquire the land.
However, Patience Ozokwo has responded to the allegations, presenting a different narrative.
A middleman, who facilitated the sale, has come forward to corroborate Patience Ozokwo’s account.
He claims that the widow approached him for help in selling the land to cover medical expenses and burial costs for her late husband.
The middleman stated that the widow willingly sold the land to Patience Ozokwo, with him acting as an intermediary.
The dispute has sparked a heated debate, with both parties presenting their sides of the story. The outcome of this controversy remains to be seen.
