There was a mild drama at the premises of an Ikeja Magistrate Court,
Monday, when a 21- year-old woman, Esther Odozi, a farmer, rolled on the
ground and screamed that she and her children were at the verge of
dying from hunger.
Odozi, who said she lives in Owanta village in Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State, came to Lagos last week and because she didn’t have anywhere to sleep, slept at Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries where she begged for money to come to the old secretariat in Ikeja.
Odozi at the court premises, Monday. She said she was directed by an official of Human Rights Commission in her state to come to Lagos that she would get help.
According to her, she needed N200,000 for garri and melon business and would not leave Lagos until she got the money for the business.
Odozi who said she bore the five children to one Donald Ugbaja, a former police officer in Delta State, said she was left alone to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the children including twins after his death.
Odozi who brought out her breasts to demonstrate that she still had a child she was nursing, said she didn’t have any means to feed herself and her children. She said if the Governor of Lagos State could give her N200,000, she would start business with it.
Asked if she would like to be trained in any skill, she said no, adding that she just needs the money to start the business of garri and melon.
She appealed to the Federal Government and well-meaning Nigerians to come to her aid, adding that she started having children when she was only 17 years old and that the father of her children drove her out after she had the fifth child.
