Rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, and former member of defunct Remedies Group has been arrested for, allegedly, beating up his landlord over his inability to pay his electricity bills.
The ‘Nigeria Jagajaga’ coroner, has been in detention since last week for the alleged assault
According to findings by thesourceng.com, the veteran rapper had attacked the landlord, Oladipo Abimbola, over an unpaid N535,000 accumulated electricity bill on January 3, 2020, at Valley View Estate, Ikeja, Lagos.
Information gathered reveal that Eedris had arrived at the landlord’s compound to attack him after he was accosted for refusing to pay the electricity bills he owed after officials of Ikeja Electricity Distribution ( IKED) disconnected his house.
The landlord claimed that it was Eedris wife that rented the apartment and not him, so he believes any issues should be brought forward to him by the wife and not Eedris, because the receipt shows that the wife owns the apartment and not him.
The landlord said that Eedris has been threatening him, even after beating him up, and that Eedris Abdulkareem is a dangerous man and would stop at nothing to carry out his threats, that was he swung into action by bringing in the Police into the matter to arrest him.
Reacting to the allegation by the landlord, Eedris accused the landlord of making advances to his wife. He alleged that his landlord had sexually harassed his wife in his absence and that all efforts to make him stop failed, resorting to him beating him up.
“The landlord had continually harassed my wife, and I have cautioned him on several occasion, but he failed to yield.
“This landlord had once been arrested for a previous case of sexual harassment against a female tenant, it has become a norm for him”.
As at the time of filing this report, Eedris was still in Police custody, with his lawyer and wife trying to get him released, with the landlord threatening to take him to court.
