Shakiru and his wife, Bosah
A 30-year old man, Adeleke Shakiru whose apartment was set ablaze by his landlady, Mrs Adenike Azeez has been sent to Kirikiri prison by the police at Isheri Oshun division in Lagos State Western Nigeria.
The police arrested Shakiru and his wife, Bosah and charged them before an Ejigbo Magistrate’s court after they reportedly resisted persuasion to withdraw charges against Adenike who destroyed their properties and rendered them homeless.
Last week, Adenike shocked the residents and did the unthinkable when she carried some petrol and went through the back window to set Shakiru’s apartment ablaze in a bid to eject them.
PM NEWS gathered that the police at the division was not happy that Shakiru did not listen to them when they persuaded him to drop charges against Adenike.
The police then arrested both Shakiru and his wife, Bosah and alleged that some time ago, they assaulted Adenike and kept a keg of petrol in their house which they used to power their generator.
