Following a demand of 20-months house rent arrears by a Lagos-based landlady, Mrs Idayat Aderibigbe, a tenant identified as Obidi Ibeagha, attacked the woman, pushed her down and as a result, she suffered a broken leg.

It was gathered that the Anambra State-born tenant who has been unable to pay the rent arrears due to the economic situation before the landlord died last year, was said to have became angry and attacked the landlady for asking from him the rent he owed the woman’s late husband.
 
The 44-year old Ibeagha, reportedly pushed her and she fell down and got injured and broke one of her legs. He first told her that he wanted to park out from the apartment to a smaller apartment and as such he would not pay the arrears because she was not his landlord at that period he was owing.

The victim was rushed to a hospital and the matter was reported to the police at Ikotun division who arrested Ibeagha. He was taken to court where he was charged with assault and occasional harm under the Criminal code.
 
He pleaded not guilty.

Ibeagha was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition.
 
The matter was adjourned till 15 February 2017.
