For years, Mr. Bola Akinboye and Mrs. Shakirat Akinboye (Nee Sanusi) have lived at No. 3b, Joseph Aladesuyi Street, Igando, Lagos State in Nigeria. But they — and all the other low-income tenants — were sent threat messages and threat calls from their landlords who resides in Kuwait in early 2023 with a specific threat that he would use self means to eject them on his return to Nigeria.

That decision to evict is by changing the lock to the gate of apartment of his tenant such that they could not enter their apartment, have access to their personal effect i.e. clothes and bore of burden of their food to waste since Thursday the 9th of February 2022.

The tenants said this decision is disrupting dozens of lives — and they went to the nearby station, Igando Divisional Police to lodge a report of and after several days of evading Police Invitation, the Landlord Olajobi was finally arrested on the 14th of February 2022 and brought where he combated officers on duty and actually assaulted and wounded a Policewoman on the wrist.

The Story Behind this is that the Landlord is a wicked person and doesn’t have a good mind for his tenants.
