Nollywood
Actor and school proprietor, Emeka Ike has been thrown out of his rented apartment
in Magodo GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, over his inability to pay an accumulated three
years rent of N8.5 million.
The
apartment, a twin duplex located at 1, Raji Oladimeji Street, Magodo GRA, was
until his ejection, used by Emeka to run his business.
Emeka had in 2007 diversified by establishing a secondary school named St
Nicholas College and decided to hire the premises on a five-year lease
agreement from an 87-year-old retiree, Chief Samuel Agboola Akintan at the rate
of N2 million per annum for the first two years and N3 million annually for the
remaining three years, bringing the total rent of five years to N13 million.
Sun
newspaper reports that Emeka was able to get his landlord accept a deposit of
N2 million with a promise to pay the rest later. Trouble, however, started when
a year after moving in, the popular Actor began to default and at a point
issued a dud cheque of N1.5 million.
To force
Emeka to pay his money and eject him from the property, Chief Akintan through
his company, Samak Investments Ltd, had to drag the Actor to the Ikeja
Magistrate court where he was ordered out of the house.
