It began from a radio programme, but it has gone much more than that, as a widow's in-law want to maltreat her in these tough times. A Facebook user and civil society activist, Osaro Edigin, shares the story to readers. He writes,

EDOCSO STOOD FOR AN OPPRESSED WIDOW:

This building was secured for a widow and her two children whom her late husband's family had determined to sell. They had already sold his shop without thinking how she would take care of the two boys the husband left behind.

Some of the late husband's brothers traveled all the way from the Eastern part of the country just to sell off their brother's properties and share the proceeds.

I want to appreciate Efe Osafomwan of Man Around Town of Independent Radio who draw the attention of Edo Civil Society Organisations to it and action was taken.

The law enforcement agents will soon apprehend those brothers that want to reap where they did not sow. This building belongs to the two sons he left behind not for any brother or sister.

We shall ensure that she is adequately protected from any harm.

NEVER AGAIN WILL ANY PERSON SUFFER UNDUE OPPRESSION IN EDO STATE. OPPRESSION, INTIMIDATION WILL BE FLUSHED OUT.

Karma is a bi.tch!.

If i were her, i will let them sell all his properties even if it includes sharing their late brother's clothes. Then sell even my clothes to send my two sons to school. If they don't beg for forgiveness their kids will on their
behalf.

Foolish lot!.

how are we sure he wasnt killed by those same people wanting to sell the properties.

21st century people still indulge in this stone-age act

(in 2baba's voice) which kain world we dey, wey man is so unkind to mankind, so unkind to mankind, eeh_yeh_yeh_

Benin Again!!!!

Is that the building they are fighting her for? This one is beyond the ordinary

Wicked people dem .....

Very good, its time we all learn how to stand for the oppressed

I wonder why some people are wickedly wicked

I thought children come first

I know say e go be igbos... They are the worst inlaws when it come to properties.. Especially if you are a wife to them.

These are the so called "educated" regions engaging in pre-civilisation practices. Imagine, travelling all the way from east just to deprive a widow and orphans of their property.
Infact, they will start by first accusing the innocent widow of murder.

This is the much trumpeted "education and foreword mentality" as opposed to backwardness. Mtchewww.

Senseless. As if they are waiting for the man to die.

UNawaoooo
