A couple, Mr. Ekweozor and his wife, Anulika, have landed in the police net for allegedly inflicting injury on their tenant, Oyize Peter, over unpaid electricity bills at the Ikotun area of the state.
It was alleged that the power distribution company had disconnected Oyize because she owed electricity bills. But it angered the couple who resides at Amudalatu Agodo, area of Ikotun because the tenant’s house was also connected to the pumping machine that serves the entire compound.

The landlord allegedly called an electrician to disconnect the machine’s wire from Oyize’s water pipe and it led to an altercation which was later settled. But unknown to the tenant, the landlady was still angered. So on Sunday while the tenant was doing her chores the landlady allegedly attacked her with an axe, giving her deep cut in the face.
The woman and her husband were arrested by the police while the victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where she is recuperating.
