According to three tenants from Lekki Palm City Estate, Ajah, their landlord, one Majuka Nnamdi Emmanuel, ordered soldiers to have them flogged on Saturday morning, May 5, 2018.
Instablog9ja reports that the whole drama began after a tenant identified simply as Ayo, demanded for a refund of his N1.3m rent after his house was burgled just days after he moved in.
Ayo reportedly lodged a complaint of the robbery case at the Alagbon police station but nothing came of the investigation.
the agent for a refund of the remainder of his rent, the cost of the days he had spent in the house, had been deducted.

Going by the report, the agent is said to have delivered the message to Majuka but he refused the demand, stating that it could only be done after a new tenant was ready to occupy the house.
The argument for a refund went on for an unknown period of time until the tenant woke up on Saturday morning to the presence of their landlord and some soldiers who ordered them out of their houses and reportedly had them flogged. Cases of this nature are why many landlords prefer to hire the services of a rental property management team that can help deal with these matters in a safer, more cordial manner.
The tenants revealed that the soldiers only stopped beating them after one of them fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital.
