Few weeks ago, news went viral that a popular nollywood actor, Emeka Ike was evicted from his school's property in Magodo area of Lagos State.
Days later, Emeka Ike was said to have reclaimed possession of the property.
Now, his landlord, one Samuel Akintan is accusing the actor of owing N8.5million rent which accumulated over a 3-year period of non-payment.
The 87-year-old man who is diabetic is alleging that Emeka has refused to vacate his property, in spite of many attempts to eject him from the twin-duplex located in Magodo, Lagos State, since his lease expired in 2012.
Emeka Ike is also being accused of issuing a dud cheque of N1.5 million to the old man, and subsequently lying to Magodo police to forcefully take back control of the property after it was initially locked up by the Commissioner of Police’s office.
"When I wanted to take the matter to court, Emeka wrote a letter pleading with me. I have sympathy for Emeka, but unfortunately, he has no sympathy for himself. I never knew this man from Adam. My children said they know him, that he’s an actor. That’s how I fell into his hands."
Mr Akintan said he just wants the actor to pay 1.5 million out of the accrued debt.
However, Emeka Ike has said he is still in possession and that the matter should not be treated like a national crisis.
