Southwark Council in London has repossessed a two-bedroom social housing flat previously rented by Fatima Jabbe-Bio, the First Lady of Sierra Leone. The property, located in Walworth, was reportedly occupied by Ms. Jabbe-Bio despite reports indicating she resides primarily at the presidential lodge in Freetown, Sierra Leone for much of the year. The council confirmed the repossession following a report in the Times last year which brought the situation to light. Details surrounding the initial tenancy agreement and reasons for repossession have not been fully disclosed. The case raises questions about the allocation of limited social housing resources in London. Council officials have not commented on whether the tenancy was obtained legitimately or if any investigation was conducted prior to the repossession. The property is now available for reallocation to individuals on the council’s housing waiting list.
