A single mother, Ms. Ndidi Enekwechi, has raised an alarm over what she described as her forceful and unlawful eviction from her late father’s house by her elder brother, an action that has allegedly left her homeless and vulnerable in Nise community, Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Angel Network News (ANN) gathered that
the incident reportedly occurred at the family’s two-storey residence located at No. 25 Enekwechi Avenue, Ngodo-Nise. Ndidi said she had been living in a three-bedroom apartment within the house, which she claimed was allocated to her by their late father before his death.
Speaking to journalists amid tears, Ndidi, who identified herself as the second surviving daughter in a family of eight, disclosed that the family lost three children, leaving two women and three men. She added that some of her siblings currently reside overseas.
She accused her elder brother, Mr. Damian Okwudili Enekwechi, popularly known as Ejiamatu, of unlawfully invading the family house with hired workers on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, and ordering her to vacate the apartment without any prior notice or legal process.
According to her, Damian, who she noted lives in his own private residence—has allegedly insisted on renovating the family house and renting it out to tenants, a move she said would render her and possibly other siblings homeless following the death of both parents.
“As I was asking my brother, who is the eldest in the family, where he expected me to go, the workers he brought had already started removing my windows and scattering my belongings,”
“I had no option but to involve the police so the matter could be handled in a civil manner.” she recounted.
Ndidi further alleged that her brother openly threatened her during the confrontation, boasting of his influence and allegedly belittling her status as a court clerk.
“He told me that I am 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 the Human Rights Commission would regret it,” she said.
She expressed grave concerns for her personal safety and the security of her property, revealing that upon returning from the police station on Thursday afternoon, she discovered that the doors to her apartment had been broken. She added that workers were already inside her bedroom and other rooms, allegedly acting on Damian’s instructions.
Ndidi said she has reported the matter to her siblings living abroad, but claimed that her elder brother has refused to respond to their calls or messages.
Now visibly distressed and uncertain about her future, the single mother is appealing to the Anambra State Government, relevant security agencies, human rights organisations, and civil society groups to urgently intervene in what she described as a sensitive family dispute with serious human rights implications.
“I have nowhere else to go,” she lamented.
