The Kabusa Grade 1 Area Court in Abuja on Friday ordered the remand of a tenant, Chris Okoye, 44, for beating his landlord.
The judge, Abubakar Sadiq, ordered Mr Okoye’s remand after listening to his plea.
The defendant, who lives at 2A Niger avenue villa nova, Apo, is charged with criminal conspiracy, intimidation, force, assault and causing hurt.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
The prosecutor, O.S. Osho, had earlier told the court that the landlord, Ochengele Isaac, reported the matter at the Apo Police Station on January 3.
He said the defendant, his two children and one Gideon, now at large, beat up the landlord and inflicted injuries on him.
Mr Osho said the defendant’s two children and Mr Gideon were now at large.
The judge adjourned the case until January 16 for a hearing.
