A man that inherited his late father’s house, Idemudia
Obamwonyi, allegedly set the building ablaze over refusal of tenants in the
building to pay rent and has since been arrrested by police.
According to reports, over 20 shops in the building located
at Iwebo lane behind Oba Market in Benin City, Edo State, were razed.
Idemudia
was said to have been heard shouting telling people to allow the house burn
since he does get any money from the house.
A resident in the area, Ifaluyi Obasogie, said it was
unheard of for a landlord to set his own house ablaze. “We saw people holding
him and he was saying let the house burn...
I bet the arsonist-landlord plans to sell this plot.
Tenants that won't pay rent also won't adhere to quit notice.
Smart, but wicked move.
