The landlord was said to have died following the severe burns he sustained from the fire.
The incident attracted the attention of residents of the street (between 2nd East Circular Road and 3rd East Circular Road) , who thronged the scene to sympathise with the victim’s family.
The wife of the deceased, Esther, alleged that the tenant had threatened to kill her and Pa Iyen in the past.
She also said that the suspect had failed to pay his electricity bill.
Esther said, “He does not pay his house rent; he does not pay his electricity bill. He (Obasohan) had been told to leave this house since.
“He threatened to kill me or my husband. We took him to court. Then, my husband fell ill. Later, they said that the case had been struck out.”
The daughter of the late landlord, Faith Eganbor, also confirmed that the tenant had been asked to leave the house.
Eganbor, who described her late father as “a kind man”, called for a thorough investigation into the matter.
She said, “I need justice. My father was a good man; he was kind to a fault. It was not the first time the tenant was asked to leave this house.
“They gave him a notice to quit in 2014, 2015 and early this year. We came this morning to find out (that) our father was dead.”
But the suspect could not be reached for comments as he was said to have been arrested by policemen from the Esigie Police Division.
