Angry Landlord Attacks Tenant in Lagos, Throws Him Down Storey Building

A 23-year old tenant, Jamiu Isiaka has lost his live after he was thrown down a storey building in Lagos by thugs allegedly sent by a 64-year old landlord. According to report, the mother of a 14-year old girl identified as Bilikisu Yusuf had told the landlord that she sent Bilikisu to buy sugar but instead she went and met a man. The landlord then stormed Jamiu's house with some thugs who pounced on him, thinking he was the man Bilikisu went to meet. He was beaten mercilessly and then thrown down from the storey building. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died two days later. After the incident, Bilikisu told everyone that Isiaka was not her boyfriend. "They just killed the innocent boy without any reason," an eyewitness lamented. Barrister Samuel Iroye, a neighbor and client of the deceased, told journalist that it was Isiaka and his father that built his church and described him as a young, promising man who would be missed by all that knew him, adding that he will make sure that justice was done. The landlord has been arrested by the police at Ojokoro and has been transferred to the Homicide Section of the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Yaba, for further interrogation.
