Former Inspector General of Police,Mike Okiro is facing what could be tagged as ‘Disgrace’ as he was driven out by the landlord of his Abuja residence Close due to some reasons.
He was said to have made the property his own as he refused to pack out even when his rent expired. The apartment was rented N8m annualy.
According to reports, the former IGP was given a quit notice to vacate the house since he refused to leave when the rent expired.
Furthermore, having first served Okiro a 3-month quit notice in April, 2015, Okiro was also served the seven days “notice of owner’s intention to recover vacant possession of the property” on December 1, 2015 by the property owner but he is said to still be occupying the apartment.
The plaintiff’s averment in a writ of summons marked, CV/ M/01/1016 issued at the District Court of the Federal
Capital Territory Wuse, Abuja by Kundi Limited through its lawyer, Baba Lawal Aliyu contains the details of the impasse between both parties.
The plaintiff is now seeking an order that will compel Okiro to vacate the property and pay “mesne profit from October31, 2015 at N666,666.00 per month till when judgment is
entered.”
The tenancy period which the landlord reportedly agreed with Okiro on July 25, 2013, was a two-year tenure at an annual rent of N8m for the 5-bedroom duplex and 3- bedroom guest chalet property.
The statement stated further that, “since the expiration of the tenancy, the defendant has remained in occupation and enjoyment of the property and thereby accumulated mesne profit.”
