A
30-year-old artisan, Kabiru Tajudeen, who allegedly beat his landlady to a pulp
for giving him a quit notice on Wednesday appeared before an Ikeja Chief
Magistrates’ Court.
Tajudeen,
who resides at 28, Omoroga Street, Powerline, Meiran, a suburb of Lagos, is
being tried for assault.
The
prosecutor, Inspector Raji Akeem, told the court that Tajudeen committed the
offence on April 1 at his residence.
Akeem
said that the landlady, Mrs Omowunmi Omoroga, gave the quit notice to the
accused in 2017 but he refused to comply with it.
“A
fight ensued between them when the complainant asked the accused when he would
pack out.
“The
accused beat the complainant to a pulp, and she was rushed to a hospital by
some other tenants,” he said.
The
offence violated Section 173 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015,
according to Akeem.
Tajudeen,
however, pleaded not guilty.
Chief
Magistrate Jadesola Adeyemi-Ajayi granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with
two sureties in like sum.
Adeyemi-Ajayi
adjourned the case until May 7 for mention.
