A Lagos landlord, Nwachukwu Sunday Edemi, 49, has been sent to the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prisons, Apapa, Lagos by the Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court for allegedly evicting his tenant illegally.

He was remanded in prison custody because he could not meet the bail conditions after he was arraigned before the court for stealing properties worth millions of naira belonging to Mrs. Victoria Kate Ahunmunde, his tenant.

The landlord, whose house is located at 9, Kola Ogundeji Street, Idimu, Lagos was alleged to have broken into his tenant’s flat and threw out her properties and rented the house to another tenant.

His action was reported to the police and he was arrested and charged with illegal entry, stealing and breach of public peace.

P.M.NEWS gathered that the landlord carried out the illegal act when the woman travelled. The three-count charge is contrary to sections 390, 413, 411, 412, 440 and 451 of the Criminal Code, Cap,C.17, Vol.2, Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2003.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge and Magistrate M.B. Folami granted him bail in the sum of N5 million with two sureties.

The matter has been adjourned till 21 April, 2010 while the accused was remanded in prison, pending when he will meet the bail conditions.

I meant to write or say...

It is time to start putting landlord in jain for collect 1 or 2 yrs advance rent. Its never done anywhere-elese in the world.

Isn't there enywhere or any secction in the Criminal Code of the country's constitution or state law where this act is consider illegal?.



you are very very wrong , and its acceptable too , and its practice else where too not only in nigeria , altough i don,t my self do such a thing . never , the problem with that very man is that of unlawful braking into the tenant,s room ,no one does such a thing in any civilised society you know
