P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Mohammed Akije Street in Ejigbo Lagos where both the suspect and the victim reside.

The angry landlady rushed out of the bathroom, attempted to hit him but was overpowered by Abia who used a hammer to hit her to submission.

The matter was reported to the Police at Ejigbo Division and Abia was arrested and charged for assault.

She said he has been caught several times and warned against doing such but he continued.

She said she was willing to forgive him but only on the condition that he will have to park out from the house, even though his rent has not expired.

However, Abia was arraigned before Isolo Magistrates court for the alleged offence and he pleaded not guilty.

The presiding Magistrate, Mr A.O. Ogbe granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum.

He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect the bail condition.
