Nworie, explained that all attempts for him to pay for another three months within which he will be looking elsewhere for accommodation, proved abortive; adding that as a contractor, the eight hundred thousand naira given to him by his client to buy materials for the construction of his house, lost in the process.

The tenant further complained that he was held hostage along with the members of his family in the compound by the landlady who padlocked the gate, adding that it was in attempt to call the police that he escaped through the back door.

It was believed according to Nwoye that the woman and her children who perpetuated the act were on the run, while the police are investigating the matter.
Mr. Nworie is therefore making an appeal to the police and public spirited individuals to assist him so as to be able to rehabilitate his family.
