Nubi,
As I always say these old Americanas on Naijanet are too far from home especially the deluded Biafran among them.
Cheers.

Subject:[Naijanet] Re: Landlord gets 3-year jail term for evicting tenant with force
--"three years imprisonment or to pay an option of fine of N50, 000"?----------------------Help me out, are "Nigerian" judges clueless or just pretend to be?One gives 5 YEARS for $2,187 theft, this is equating N50,000 with 3 years! For damaging over N300,000 property!At first glance, 3 years sounds just about right, until you hear the option.What a deal? At N12,000 A YEAR, will any at-the-top person ever be punished with jail time?---------------------------------

An Ado-Ekiti Magistrates’ Court on Friday sentenced a landlord, Iyabo Adakeja, (47), to three years imprisonment for removing a tenant’s roofing sheet without his consent to forcefully cause him to vacate his apartment.
The Magistrate, Taiwo Ajibade, gave the verdict in the judgment.
NAN reports that the Police Prosecutor, Mr David Erima, told the court that the accused committed the offence on March 13, 2013 at about 3:00 p.m. at No 38, Ekute Street, Ado-Ekiti.
On the said date, the accused, unlawfully and forcefully, ejected her tenant, Sunday Agbaje and also threatened his life.
Erima said that consequent upon the removal of the roof, heavy rain poured and damaged Agbeje’s property, including mattresses, camera, fridge, generator, DVD, clothes, television sets and other items, worth over N300, 000.
He said the offence was punishable under Section 401 of the Criminal Code; Cap C 16, Laws of Ekiti State, 2013.
Counsel to the accused, Mr Yemi Adebayo, urged the court to be lenient in the dispensation of justice to his client.
The magistrate, however, sentenced the accused to three years imprisonment or to pay an option of fine of N50, 000.
