To make matters worse, Joseline indicated that the man also grew abusive to his family, and later left home, which compelled them to seek solace at a place where none existed.

In the course of her loitering one day, the woman chanced upon an old toilet and deemed it a better shelter than sleeping on the streets without any cover.

The heartbreaking situation has affected the children’s performance in school because they practically have no peace of mind or a befitting place to call home.
