She said the old man moved into his recently completed house in January 2021, a building valued at N20m.

According to her, the house was his major physical achievement and a product of hard work and diligent service to his country as a military man.

Her post continued:

"The unfortunate incident happened due to the old communal issues between my town (Share in Ifelodun LG of Kwara state) and the neighbouring town (Tsaragi, Edu LG of Kwara state) who are NUPE. The communal issues date back to the 90's. Sad!"

She said her father contemplated suicide because of the loss. The young lady urged people to come to their rescue as they've lost everything.
