"It was the last year's rains that blew off her weak roofing. She has lived under the direct glare of the elements since then. The rains are about to start again, and she has no hope that she will not suffer the cold stands of rain again. She is in her 90s with no helper."

In a separate chat with Legit.ng, Bakare said Mama Atoke lives in Osun state. He specifically mentioned the area:

"She lives in Ikire, UNIOSUN road, Atoto area. Atoto is in Ikire, Irewole local government of Osun State. Her child, who built the house, passed away years ago. She lives alone in the house."

Bakare said the woman needed urgent help to rehabilitate the house before the heavy rains would set in.

He called on public-spirited individuals to urgently come to Mama Atoke's aid. He said those interested in helping the old woman should call 09011571161.
