A business woman, Mrs. Olajoke Adesipe, has accused popular musician, Onyeka Onwenu, of assault.
Adesipe, who had petitioned the National Human Rights Commission, also said she was forcefully evicted from her shop at the National Centre for Women Development, Abuja on the order of Onyeka, who is the Director-General of the centre.
Adesipe, in the letter dated March 3, 2014, claimed that Onwenu directed security officers to throw her wares out of her shop, adding that she was assaulted when she took the pictures of the incident, on the instruction of the DG.
The business woman, who sells textiles, said she was a yearly tenant, adding that her current tenancy would not end until December, 2014.
The petition reads in part, “On January 21, 2014, I heard that the DG might likely eject me even when my rent is still valid.”
Adesipe said she got a letter to vacate the premises within three days on January 28,2014, adding that another letter was served on her on February 4, in which the centre threatened to go to court.
She explained that she wrote a letter to Onwenu on February 6, and sent her a text message three days later seeking an audience. She said the DG gave her an appointment for the following day.
Adesipe said she met other members of the management team at Onwenu’s office and she narrated her story.
She said the musician apologised and said that a formal apology letter would be written by the centre to her.
She added that Onwenu said she should vacate the shop and promised that she would be relocated to the shopping complex within the premises.
Adesipe said she insisted that she would vacate the shop on the condition that she would be given an allocation letter.
