A Lagos landowner, Samson Ekweozor, and his wife, Anurika Ekweozor, have supposedly physically assaulted their occupant, Mary Onyian, upon her family's refusal to prematurely quit an apartment belonging to them at Ikotun-Egbe. 

Mary, who portrayed her experience, said inconvenience began after the Ekweozors requested that her family abandon the condo scarcely a month after they moved in without an arrangement to discount the lease paid for the loft. 

The refusal of the Onyian family to move out of the house pulled in the property manager's resentment, which prompted an assault on Mary leaving her face scarred forever. 

As per Mary, the property manager and his better half never opened up on the explanation behind the notification to stop simply a month after she and her family moved in. 

She stated: "We don't have the foggiest idea about the explanation we were approached to move out. The entire dramatization began during the lockdown and we had no place else to go. I was jobless around then. We were engaging to take care of and get by during the lockdown when the landowner and his better half requested that we clear the loft, which we had quite recently leased and moved in. Resolved to make us leave the loft, the property manager detached our force supply, diving our condo into perpetual haziness. We turned to utilizing generators. 

"As though disengaging our force supply was sufficiently not, the property manager detached the water supply to our condo. It was by then that my better half inquired as to whether he really needed us to leave. Indeed, the explanation the landowner and his significant other requested that we empty the loft is as yet not satisfactory to us. 

"At some point, I went to take water from our bowl near the window, to plan nourishment for our kids and as I was getting back to our loft, our property manager out of nowhere showed up and held me from behind. His better half utilized a sharp item to assault me and cut at my face, neck and different pieces of my body. Before I realized what was going on, I was canvassed in blood. It was my shouts of torment that caused my better half, who was inside our condo, to run out. He took one gander at me and afterward took me to the police headquarters, where we revealed the case. We were later given a letter and alluded to medical clinic for therapy. 

"I went through about fourteen days at the clinic. Indeed, that I didn't bite the dust is completely a supernatural occurrence. There was such a lot of blood all over the place." 

The casualty's better half, Racherry Onyian said he was at that point wanting to go to the police headquarters to report the property manager for detaching force and water supplies to his loft before the assault on his significant other. 

He said the landowner needed to slaughter his significant other and ought to be charged for endeavored murder. 

He claimed that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), who took care of the issue, was one-sided. 

"We just moved into the loft so there was nothing similar to obligation. I needed to proceed to report the minor contest we had when they assaulted my significant other. 

"At the point when I went to Ikotun Police Station the next day, I was stunned to hear the police order it as something different. I had anticipated that them should charge the landowner and his better half for endeavored murder. What irritated me more than anything else was that somebody needed to slaughter my better half and the DPO was not considering it to be an instance of endeavored murder. I simply don't get it," he said. 

Racherry added that the landowner's better half was captured after much dissent however was delivered following the order given by the Inspector General of Police that individuals with minor offenses ought to be permitted to leave cells, Igbere TV reports. 

Racherry said he expected that the property manager and his better half would be captured again yet that didn't occur. 

He stated: "When I was not happy with the issue, I went to the police headquarters to request that the case ought to be resumed, yet met another DPO. They call him Adagba." 

Racherry said the new DPO took care of the issue much the same as the former one: with levity. 

He said he needed to go looking for basic liberties activists and was coordinated to the fellow benefactor of Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network (ACVPN), Ebenezer Omejalile. 

Omejalile said after accepting the objection, the NGO put forth attempts to arrive at the previous DPO and the enhanced one on the issue yet got no certain answer. 

He said the basic liberties bunch has sent another appeal to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu. 

"We are trusting that through the mediation of the CP, Mary will get equity, " he said. 

At the point when SaharaReporters contacted Mary on Friday, she said the landowner and his better half presently couldn't seem to be rearrested yet accepted she would get equity with the assistance of her legal advisor.
