Security Guard Sacks Landlord

An estate agent, Mr. Dito Oyoakombo on Monday made a shocking revelation before the Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court, Lagos State, western Nigeria when he narrated how a tenant, Akintola Olatunji chased away his landlord, Alhaji Lasisi Fatai, in a mysterious circumstance and took possession of a one-storey building located at Isheri-Oshun, Lagos State.
Olatunji, he disclosed, took possession of the house, occupied a flat and rented the rest to other tenants.
Olatunji is facing trial for taking possession and renting six flats of the storey building to tenants.
Oyoakombo told the court that Olatunji was engaged as a security guard at the house located at 9/11 Fagbile Estate, Isheri Oshun where he was also a tenant.
The witness told the court further that the accused prevented the landlord from entering the house for four years through diabolical means and rented out the flats, telling tenants that he bought the house for N7m.

When asked to produce the receipt of the house he claimed he bought, he couldn’t and was arrested.
Some of the tenants he rented the six flats were identified as: Bolarinwa Isaac, N300,000; Temitope Olanipekun, N175,000; Dana Kalu, N300,000; Ade Adebowale, N180,000; Mayowa Adekunle, N170,000.

The estate agent who was testifying before Magistrate M.B. Folami said throughout the period Olatunji took possession of the house, Lasisi did not remember or step in the house until he came to his senses.
