Landlord serves ex-IG, Okiro notice to quit
Ade Adesomoju, Abuja
The owner of an Abuja residence of a
former Inspector-General of Police and Chairman, Police Service
Commission, Mike Okiro, has issued the former police boss a quit notice.
The landlord, Kundi Nigeria Limited, was
said to have taken the step after Okiro allegedly refused to vacate the
house at the termination of his tenancy.
The house is located at A06-4 Esa Oke Hill Close, Off Katsina Ala Crescent, Maitama District, Abuja.
Okiro is said to have ignored a
three-month quit notice earlier served on him on April 30, 2015 and the
seven days “notice of owner’s intention to recover vacant possession of
the property” which was served on him on December 1, 2015 by the
property owner.
This is contained in the plaintiff’s
averment in a writ of summons marked, CV/M/01/1016 issued at the
District Court of the Federal Capital Territory Wuse, Abuja by Kundi
Limited through its lawyer, Baba lawal Aliyu.
The plaintiff seeks among others, an
order compelling Okiro to vacate the property and pay “mesne profit from
October 31, 2015 at N666,666.00 per month till when judgment is
entered.”
Kundi stated that it entered into a
two-year tenancy agreement with Okiro on July 25, 2013 at an annual rent
of N8m for the property – a five-bedroom duplex and three-bedroom guest
chalet. It added that it issued the ex-IGP a quit notice and
subsequently a seven-day notice of intention to recover the property at
the expiration of the agreement.
It stated that despite the two notices,
as required by the agreement, Okiro allegedly refused to vacate the
house, a development that informed the suit.
“Since the expiration of the tenancy,
the defendant has remained in occupation and enjoyment of the property
and thereby accumulated mesne profit,” it added.
The plaintiff alleged that Okiro had
said he would remove the fittings he purportedly erected in the property
if he was to vacate the property.
It applied to the court to restrain the
ex-IGP from removing any fittings from the property as there was no
agreement between parties for the tenant to effect any renovation in the
house.
Okiro has yet to file any response to the case, which has yet to be assigned for hearing.
