Dominic Udo, a tenant who reportedly owed his blind landlord rent for three years and six months, has set the house ablaze, in the Ajegunle area of Lagos state.
According to Lindaikeji, the case between the tenant and his landlord, simply identified as Richard, had been reported at the Citizen Mediation Centre, in Amukoko and both parties were subsequently summoned on August 5, 2015.

But on August 7, 2015, Udo allegedly lit a candle, abandoned it and the fire subsequently ignited his room in the evening but it was put out by residents in the area.
Although there were no facts to confirm the incident, residents claim that Udo would have done deliberately set the house ablaze, because the landlord took him to the centre after which he promised to quit the residence.
The landlord had reportedly gone to Ajegunle police station, to file a report against the offender.
Mama Nkiru, one of the residents, said: “The tenant had no human sympathy. How could a man, who is a commercial motorcycle rider live in a house for over 3 years without paying his landlord a dime? It is wickedness.
“He should be ashamed of himself. We are suspecting that he set the building ablaze himself because the landlord took him to the Citizen Mediation Centre.”
Reports had also surfaced from Soshanguve, Pretoria, South Africa, that the End Times Disciples Ministries Church was set ablaze by irate members of the EFF brigade.
