Our correspondent gathered that Ebere suffered her fate after she went to the only public toilet in the compound and wasted too much time while other tenants including Kazeem were waiting for her.

When she eventually came out, there was confusion among other tenants who will first make use of the toilet.

It was in the midst of the confusion that Kazeem grabbed Ebere, beat her silly and blamed her for causing the problem among tenants.
