Ekweozor and his wife Anulika Ubasinachi Ekweozor are in custody in Ikotun
Police Station following the attack on their tenant Oyize Peter over unpaid
water and electricity bills at their house located at No, 78, Amudalatu Agodo,
Ikotun, Lagos.
According to
reports, Oyize was owing electricity bills and the electricity distribution
company disconnected her house. The landlord was angered by this because the
tenant’s house was also connected to the pumping machine that serves the entire
compound.
The landlord
then called an electrician to connect the machine’s wire to his own apartment.
He also got a plumber to disconnect Oyize’s pipe so she wouldn’t have access to
water.

Oyize refused
to be side-lined in this way so she objected and it led to a verbal
altercation.
Later, after
calm was restored on Sunday, March 29, Oyize was doing chores when the landlady
allegedly took her unawares and used an axe to slash her on her face, leaving
her with multiple lacerations.
