Man identified as Lawrence Ifeanyi on Facebook<\/a> has taken to the platform to accuse his landlord, Mr. John Okechukwu Nwaimo of incinerating his pharmacy and aesthetics clinic in Ajah, Lagos.<\/p>\n

The clearly distraught man shared videos of his pharmacy being razed down on Tuesday night. According to Ifeanyi, the landlord had accused him and his wife of breaking into his apartment and poisoning the water tank, his teacup, spoons, gate, keys, pillow, and other house appliances.<\/p>\n

The couple upon hearing allegations meted at them mildly spiralled out of control and rebuffed the landlord. Mr. Ifeanyi involved the nearest police station after detailing the altercation with Mr. Nwaimo to his legal counsel.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Ifeanyi, the DPO of Ogombo Police station stated that Mr. Nwaiom had accused a previous tenant of poisoning his water tank. He advised that the accused take up the case in a higher division.<\/p>\n

“The DPO said that he moved with his boys immediately to the scene to do their duty, after which he told my landlord that there is no trace of poisoning or such but if he is not satisfied he can take the water sample to Nafdac .<\/em><\/div>\n
DPO said this man frustrated him, dragged him to alausa for no reason. So he won\u2019t be able to handle his case, that I should please report to a higher police station.” <\/em>Mr. Ifeanyi noted<\/div>\n

Right after discovering the police won’t be of much help, Mr. Ifeanyi was said to be going on about his business when a petition made by his landlord against him and his wife came from the Area A police command, Lagos Island.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the couple was accused to be known armed robbers who gained entry into the landlord’s house forcefully. During interrogation sessions and investigations, Mr. Nwaimo was said to be insistent on having his tenants ejected from the store without compensation but personnel from the Area A command asserted that the landlord makes a refund if he wants the couple ejected from the space rented for N3 million.<\/p>\n

“The inspector in charge of the case came to his house on Friday last week to interrogate and she took all the items he (the landlord) said was poisoned. He kept forcing the police to eject us but the police said he should refund all the money we paid him in full and this man said he doesn\u2019t have such money but the police should just eject us and kept pressing on this”<\/em>. Mr. Ifeanyi partly wrote on Facebook<\/p>\n

A counter-petition was made by Mr. Ifeanyi through his lawyer at the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Panti on Monday January 31st. The store was razed on Tuesday night in a suspected arson.<\/p>\n
