The landlord, Segun Fadipe allegedly stabbed Victoria Ani because her husband was owing him two months rent. The father of four was alleged to have broken a bottle and stabbed Victoria on her neck, stomach, and other parts of her body and she collapsed.

She was rushed to a nearby hospital where she is being treated.

P.M.NEWS gathered that the victim’s husband, Ikechukwu Ani, was owing him N4,000 being two months house rent, for December 2010 and January 2011.
Segun claimed that he had demanded for the money and the man made a promise but could not fulfil it.
“At a time, he stopped coming back to the house because of the money,” he narrated.
Ikechukwu also confirmed that he was owing the landlord and had pleaded with him to have patience with him until he will be able to pay the money.
On the day of the incident, P.M.NEWS gathered that Victoria had returned from work and wanted to enter her apartment.
But the angry Segun told her not to come into the house unless she paid him the money her husband was owing him.
The woman thought that he was joking and attempted to force herself inside but it was alleged that Segun immediately grabbed an empty bottle of beer, broke it and stabbed her several times.
After the alleged attack, Segun reportedly ran away and the woman was rushed to a hospital where the doctors are now battling to save her life.
The matter was reported at a police station int Ikotun, a suburb of Lagos. He was later arrested and charged to Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court for assault occasioning harm.
The offence was said to be contrary to section 355 of the Criminal Code, Cap 17, Vol. 2, Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria 2004.
Segun pleaded not guilty to the charge and the presiding magistrate, Mrs. M. B. Folami granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with one responsible surety.
The court also ordered that the surety must show evidence of payment of tax and must be a blood relation.
The matter has been adjourned till 28 February, 2011 while he was remanded in prison custody at Apapa pending when he will meet the bail condition.

Ur utterances and photo emboldens extreme arrogance, dead morals and tribalistic tendencies. Which law permits one to commit Offences Against Persons occasioning serious grievously bodily harm? Jail and payment of the hospital bills, which may include the family's upkeep is awaiting the illitrate landlord who because of 4,000 naira abuse a woman. This is added offence. Battering a housewife.

It also seems the people at the police are unfair with their charges against hungry landlord.

Thanks man. This guy is the true sign of 'Nigeria no good'. He is unbelievable. No reasonable human being can talk this way, seeing a helpless woman on the pool of her own blood, caused by a HUNGRY LANDLORD. Who knows the type of house that costs just N2000 a month.
