Hi, everyone,

I'm in dire need of advice.

We had prepaid issues in the house where I'm a tenant. There are accumulated bills on the prepaid, which the landlord has failed to sort out for months. This caused some sort of altercation between he and another tenant over the phone(Mr X).

The landlord told him to move out and refunded his remaining rent.

Now the Landlord and his father came for a meeting with the rest of us today and accused Mr X, who has already moved out last week, of taking things from the house, things such as breaker box and some minor things.

It happened to be the time when Mr X himself came to pick up one of his properties left in the house – a cupboard.

He overhead everything and tried to clarify that he didn't. Just then, the landlord's father started insulting Mr X, who didn't even retaliate or say anything.

The landlord jumped on board and said Mr X must pay for everything. He ordered a guy that came with him to lock the gate of the compound, saying Mr X is not leaving.

Mr X has myopia and is always wearing glasses. The landlord seized Mr X's clothes and threatened to beat him up, even dragging him around and tearing his clothes in the process. He literally rough-handled him like a kid.

His father also charged forward and punched Mr X in the eye, kicking and wanting to beat him even more. Mr X fell on the floor in tears. All this while, I was recording. The landlord even took up a piece of wood at some point, threatening to deal with Mr X with it.

They seized his glasses, denying him proper eyesight and even tried to seize his phone as well.

Mr X was not allowed to go out until external intervention, which came as a plea from neighbors, further massaging the landlord's ego. The Landlord and his dad literally beat Mr X up and shamed him out of the compound and the area at large, hurling insults at him and also cursing his dead father.


I really feel bad for Mr X. I've sent videos of everything that transpired to him. He doesn't know what to do and feels the landlord used his power and position to beat him when he has done no wrong.


The landlord has also boasted that he'll use his power to ensure Mr X is sacked from his place of work.

I'm also bereft of ideas on what to do. How do we press charges going forward?

This matter must not be swept under the carpet.

The landlord is in his 50s, while his father looks 80. I'm not sure of Mr X's age, but he should he in his mid – late 30s

I don't know if this is the right section for this. Mods please move to frontpage

Wetin your landlady do wey land her in the cell?,

I am encouraged to know there are sensible beings in Nigeria still. If people like you can take it on themselves to educate others--- become influences-- on how to stand up for self, that would be great.

■ I don't owe her rent, I paid her a lump sum of her rent in transfer, then the smaller balance in cash, my rent will expire by February.
Then KAEDC disconnected our power supply, after a 3 days notice to pay, I gave her son money for illegal disconnection they demanded, before we pay the bill, then she cut my power supply for not paying, whereas she did not pay a dime to KAEDC, I warned her but she bluntly refused, many time my bill is just money I dash her because they do illegal connection a lot.
Then I called the police, because she cut me off for one week, she was evading the police and not picking her calls.
On that fateful morning, by 3:00am , I disconnected the power supply from the electric pole, the whole house was thrown into darkness. She is a very violent woman, she brought guys to deal with me, broke my iron door, I ran inside for my safety, she even brought a soldier, I refused opening my door, while I recorded everything, she was threatening to send me to mortuary.
She locked me from outside, and only opened the padlock for the soldiers, imagine the fool. I called my people, added to the fact that the a complaint has already been lodged with the police.
She thought I don't have people, her case was so bad she was disgraced, spent so much money and apologized to me and the police. I had to withdraw the my complaint out pity, and she undertook never to intimidate me, as I was coming back home on the day she was released my power supply was connected with properly, even with tape, I had paid my normal electric bill too, she hasn't paid to KAEDC, but I don't mind, the shame made her calm down.

■ Unfortunately, it is the truth. There are no patrol cars for police to be running helter skelter in Nigeria. You need police, go to police station, pay to fuel their cars and other logistics, then they will follow you.
