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.
