The prosecutor, Kenneth Asibor, said the tenant had before the attack, threatened to deal with his landlord, Matthew Kunle, if he dare to show face at his door post over the issue of rent payment.
The police said the incident which occurred at Igando area of Lagos was reported to the police at Igando Division by the landlord.
“My Lord, the accused, who was visibly angry at the sight of his landlord, grabbed him by his shirt, rained down blows on him before biting off his lower lip.
“He doesn’t deserve to be freed. I urge you to hand down a stiff punishment to serve as a deterrent to other tenants who may want to take laws into their own hands,” he said.
