On Tuesday, Nike Azeez shocked many people when she poured some petrol in Adeleke Shakiru’s apartment at Ijegun, Lagos, and set it ablaze destroying all the properties inside. She fled afterwards. Ashes of burnt N250, 000 Shakiru kept in the house was later discovered by the police.
Shakiru said he was not owing Nike before the incident happened. He rented the apartment two years ago and was using a small generator like any other tenant living at the building. He said one morning, Nike’s husband, Jamiu, told him to stop using the generator.
Shakiru then quizzed Jamiu, asking him why he should stop using his generator, while he was engaging Jamiu, Nike intervened and said whatever the landlord directed must be complied with or that he moves out of the house. He said he ignored them and powered his generator to charge his phones.
He said from there, Nike started making trouble and threatening his family. He added that at a time she used a digger to remove his doors and windows, and he reported to the police, but through the intervention of the elders in the area, he withdrew the matter and replaced what she damaged. Then she struck again on Tuesday.
