A 60-year old landlord, Durojaiye Idowu, has been arrested for allegedly defecating and fighting his tenant, Mrs. Faith Olubunmi Balogun, with faeces in order to eject her from his apartment in Lagos State. 
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Esubiyi Street, Mende, Maryland area of Lagos State, where they reside.
The matter was reported to the Police at Anthony Village Division. The Police then arrested the landlord, Idowu, for his alleged unruly conduct by defecating, breaking into Mrs. Balogun’s  apartment and pouring faeces inside her room.
He was alleged to have done so between 5th and 6th August, 2023 before the  matter was reported to the Police and he was subsequently arrested and detained at the station for interrogation.
