Court remands tenant for beating landlord

On Friday, a Kabusa Grade I Area Court in Abuja ordered the remand of a tenant, Chris Okoye, 44, for assaulting his landlord.

After hearing the defendant’s plea, the Judge, Malam Abubakar Sadiq, issued the order.

The defendant, who resides at 2A Niger Avenue Villa Nova in Apo, is accused of criminal conspiracy, intimidation, force, assault, and causing harm.

He, on the other hand, pleaded not guilty to the charges levelled against him.

The prosecutor, O.S. Osho had earlier told the court that the landlord, Mr Ochengele Isaac, reported the matter at the Apo Police Station on Jan. 3.

He said the defendant, his two children and Gideon now at large beat up the landlord and inflicted injuries on him.

Osho said the defendant’s two children and Gideon were now at large.

Sadiq adjourned the case until Jan.16 for a hearing
