Bright Chima has made a name for herself trading on Lagos street in Garki area of Abuja for over 13 years. She would retire early to her house after each day’s business.
But on Wednesday, Chima was forced to stay in her shop till late in the night because of heavy rainfall. When the rain refused to abate, Chima called her husband to drive her home to save her from being drenched.
“I rented two apartment shops here. I am one of the oldest tenants. I have spent more than 13 years. We have complained to the management of this building countless times about structural cracks,” Chima said with a teary face.“Their response is always affirmative without actions. They will tell you ‘We will do it’. We have requested many times to see the landlord. They kept on denying us access to him. At times, you will see this compound full of defecation.
