65-year-old woman deported from the UK becomes homeless as tenant sells her house

Identified as Florence Owanogo, the Nigerian woman has become homeless and has to sleep in the streets at the mercy of the weather.

According to a Twitter user @Diixixme, 5th Avenue by 51 road junction in Festac, Lagos has become the resting place of the elderly woman.

In a Twitter thread, the man narrated that he met the woman at the above-mentioned spot and initially thought she was mentally ill. He was then informed that she was alright but had a heartbreaking problem.

He narrated that the woman had spent 25 years in the UK but was extradited to Nigeria. Unfortunately, when she got home, her house had been sold by her tenant, rending her homeless.

He added that although the woman reported the matter to the police, dramatically, she was arrested and detained for three months.
