unpaid rent disputes.
The landlord, Blessing Omasehe, is been investigated by the Police command in Delta State for allegedly killing his tenant, Iriguvwedo Joshua.

residence, Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of the state.
His elder brother, Abraham Iriguvwedo,
yesterday told newsmen that his brother
was killed with a cutlass on Friday by his
landlord over a fracas relating to a quit
notice served on him by the landlord,
although Joshua’s rent was yet to expire.

girlfriend, informing him that his brother bled to death at the scene of the incident.
According to Abraham, his brother had,
earlier in the day, had a fight with his
landlord over an extension attached to his one-bedroom apartment, which was resolved when the late Joshua fled the house, only to be attacked in the evening

his clothings.
