The Magistrate, Mr. Vincent Gwehemba, held that the tenants violated the orders of court by not paying the house rent arrears to their landlady Elizabeth Oduh. Gwehemba ordered them to vacate their apartment and pay their rent arrears as well. The judge added that the defendants did not look as people that were passing through recession. Onuh, one of the tenants, blame his inability to pay on the economic recession. “For me, my job is not the way it used to be, I find it difficult to do what I use to do before.” The second defendant, Igoche told the court that he gave the landlady N18, 000, stressing that he was not owning her anymore. The landlady had in December 2016 filed a suit against the defendants and begged the court to help her recover with possession of her apartment and seven months arrears of rent.]]>
