Hi Nairalandlers,

Pls I need your help and the help of well meaning Nigerians.

I am a hairdresser at Santos Avenue, Abule-Egba, Lagos. Since last year 2017 my Landlord Mr Bernard Adekunle Santos has been threatening and harassing me at my shop. He conspired with one woman they call Iyalode who is his elder brother's wife and they have been tormenting my life and business ever since then. They also conspired with one woman they call Iya Esther who is my neighbour and they cut off my electric wires last year and took the wires away and left me in darkness for many weeks last year.

Even when my Lawyer wrote them a letter to return my wires which they maliciously stole, they refused to return them. After stealing my wires, the Landlord now came and asked me to go and apologize to the person that stole my wires even when I never offended her, rather they were the ones that conspired to cut off and stole my electric wires.

This year when I wanted to pay my rent to the Landlord he refused to collect it and told me that he gave me one month to quit his shop despite I'm a yearly tenant and he never served me any official quit notice. Since then he has been bringing thugs every time to threaten me in my shop. He has been threatening me that he will deal with me.

So on Wednesday 23rd May 2018 my Landlord Mr Bernard Adekunle Santos came to my shop in the afternoon and broke my shop, removed the door, stole my one hundred and seventy thousand naira and stole my goods worth over eight hundred thousand naira. This matter has been reported at the Area "G" Command, Ogba, Lagos. The police has invited the Landlord Mr Bernard Santos and including Iyalode and Iya Esther to come to the station on 25th May 2018 but they have refused to come to the station. On 24th May 2018 when we went with the police to serve them the invitation letter, the first son of the Iyalode by name Dare Santos was threatening to use charms to slap me and make me blind.

My life and the life of my 2-year old baby is currently in serious danger as they keep threatening to deal with me. As I write this my shop is currently without any door as they have removed the door and went away with the door. I have pictures and evidence of everything which I have attached.

I hereby call on the Lagos State Governor, His Excellency Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and all well meaning Nigerians to come to my aid as I want justice to be done on this matter because I have suffered enough in the hands of this Landlord and the Iyalode. My life and the life of my baby is currently in danger as I've been receiving threats since that day. I want justice to be done on this matter.

Pls share this message until it gets to the Governor and the Commissioner of police. I'm not safe anymore. Pls help.

This is serious.

Planning to get another shop before this incident happened.

I really don't get what you want to achieve here. Will Ambode and the police protect your life from charms too? You might be on your right but a wise person would have run far from such negative environment long before now. Why do people always set themselves up for tragedy? Madam quickly get out from there now that you have your health and life intact. Business can wait but get far away from those characters faaaast. Nawaa for some people o. They say na only tree hear say dem wan cut am still tanda.

If we investigate well now, she may be the one at fault, its very hard to side tenants, let's hear the side of the landlord

Are u supporting someone who committed such crime? Why don't u do your investigations & let's see.

You are economical with the truth. Though I won't condone the landlord breaking your shop, but you should tell us tje truth and pls don't bring that lies of you keeping some money in the shop

cbrass:
This post must not be moved to tje front page. This woman is a liar. No money was inside your shop. Stop lying. This is what u tenants say when landlord forcefully evicts you

Why do you have so much negativity in you? So you have concluded it's a lie even when you've not investigated? I thought you said you wanted to investigate?

Madam

You sure you have evidence to prove 170k was inside your shop? Where did that money come from? Did you withdraw it from a bank or ATM? The judge will ask you this questions in court.
If you are igbo, I will NEVER support you laye laye cause your people are experts in cheating landlords in Lagos. You commit unimaginable atrocities with somebody else's property. Show us your last receipt? A landlord will never dare to treat you the way you described if you are a paying tenant and your payment is up to date. Landlords respect tenants who respect themselves

I don't trust your story, sorry.

I'm with the 'let's hear the other side of the story' crew on this one. It's only those tenants have not shown pepper that will believe this one sided story

Everything in that post is the truth and nothing but the truth. You were not there neither did you know how it happened, yet you just concluded it's not true. Why being so negative minded?

According to your story, your shop was broken in the afternoon, so which means everyone saw them when it was broken. And no one saw them carrying the so called material u said was stolen and the money, by the way why did you keep money in the shop(though I know that's not true) where was you when your shop was broken. I suspect your lawyer advised to lie to the public to draw sympathy.

Thank you my sister, an hair dresser like this woman locked our shop for almost a year without paying and she refused to come pack her things.

You are free to hear the other side by getting to see the Landlord & interview him. Let's see whether he will deny it. Let's see whether he will deny all the allegations.

Yes there are witnesses, my neighbours and a young girl who is a shop attendant because I was not in the shop when it happened and the little girl had to run for her life because of the threatening way they came with those thugs. So don't say what you don't know.

If the little girl ran the away as you have claimed, that means she ran away from those tour and hid her self so she won't be seen, which means she didn't see the men carrying anything from the shop. QED

If she pays yearly, why give her 1month to vacate? Even when she pays every 6 months it is 3 months to vacate..

He has investigated na, it's a lie. How would someone leave 170k inside her shop, that tactic is stale now.
