My Landlord And His Dad Just Beat Up My Co-tenant by Mustiboy(m): 4:45pm On Sep 08, 2023 |
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 Photo used for illustration 12 Likes 2 Shares

Many are mad, few are roaming. The landlord and his father are both mad and roaming. Mr X should take it to the police. Sadly, I don't think Mr X has the patience to seek legal redress. I hate when a man oppresses his fellow man. Many Nigerians are wicked, we just do not have the opportunity to exercise our wickedness. Pathetic. 49 Likes 8 Shares |

Your work was a camera man while mr x is dying.. How old is this man? Is the eye problem that serious that he can't see in a day time' imagine 50 and 80yrs father and son beating him up.... Well since from day one i know nigeria is full of hate, envy and oppression.... Sometimes some cases need physical battle before involving police and lawyer'' even in the bible, the kingdom of god is taking by violence.... Tell mr x to report to the police only if he is capable to withstand their financial prowess or have better connections, if not nigeria cases na who get money and connection dey win... 21 Likes |

Obierika: One-sided how? I already explained what transpired. Both Mr X and Landlord insulted one another over electricity issue. Mr X moved out and came back for a cupboard today. Landlord saw him and said he should replace everything that's missing from his apartment, the sockets and breaker box. Mr X said it's been that way ever since he moved in. Landlord got infuriated and seized his clothes, resulting in everything I narrated up there. The landlord is a very educated man. I didn't expect such from him and his father. He even called police and said he'd ensure Mr X rots in jail. All these over missing wall sockets and breaker box. Now I'm not one to take sides, but there's no way on earth Mr X could have taken those things. Landlord is just flexing power and pained that Both he and Mr X insulted one another two weeks ago. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

Mustiboy:So, you stood there and watched while a human being was assaulted and you didn't call the cops? Please get Mr. X to come online so we can advice him to take his case to the authorities. He needs to not only report the landlord to the police but sue them so they pay his hospital bill including any other damages. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: What more could I do? I was the only one that had the foresight to record for evidence. Would it be cool if I was singled out while standing for him? The other neighbors did nothing. I didn't have any support 11 Likes 1 Share |
Re: My Landlord And His Dad Just Beat Up My Co-tenant by Kobojunkie: 6:19pm On Sep 08, 2023 |
Mustiboy:You could have equally called the cops while you were recording the event. That is a simple thing to do, isn't it? Thankfully those men did not kill him. Tell Mr. X to take the video and pictures of all his scars to the police station immediately. He should demand that the landlord and his son pay his hospital bill and damages at least. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kobicove: I'm coming, lemme edit a part and upload as a GIF... Modified: Can't upload video on NL so I had to make a GIF That's the Landlord's father on a face cap and Jean punching Mr X at the generator house. That's Mr X falling to his knee upon receiving a blow to his eye. This is someone who has myopia. Modified again: looks like the GIF is not working. Thought NL supports GIF. Lemme find a workaround

Mustiboy: The Mr X guy must have done or said something that infuriated them otherwise I do not understand why a 50 and 80 year old man would get into a fight with their tenant. Besides why is it that he chose that exact day to come for the cupboard or whatever. I'm not in anyway trying to justify the action of the landlord but I feel you're deliberately trying to make him look bad in your account of what happened |

'A former tenant' Well, we have X (the social media site) and we have a number of reputable agencies and people (especially OBIdients on X) who are ready to fast track this incident of assault to the proper ears and channels. All he needs to do is be sure he is telling the truth and be bold to be in public eye. He should upload the videos of the assault there and ensure that he is actually in the right in all of these. Verbal assault is no crime, although people tend to get biased when an elderly person is insulted. However, physical assault is a different ball game. And he has video evidence. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: When it's ordinary two-fighting or domestic disturbance such as a husband and wife fighting anyone calling the police here is wasting his time. The only time police gets involved is if the fight results in a death, serious bodily harm or leads to a general breakdown of law and order in that area 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Obierika:But your answer was of bullsheet as there are quite many examples of women and even neighbors involving the police in the event of altercations in that same Nigeria. My personal experience goes as far back as 1988/1990 in the same country.I was a child back then yet I still remember sitting in the police station and gladly penning down my police report on what happened that day. 5 Likes 1 Share |
