Singer, Eedris Abdulkareem arrested for manhandling his landlord over unpaid electricity bill

Veteran singer, Eedris AbdulKareem, was recently arrested for allegedly beating up his landlord, Oladipo Abimbola, over an unpaid N535,000 accumulated electricity bill on January 3, 2020, at his Valley View Estate, Ikeja, Lagos.

The singer was said to have forced his way into his landlord’s compound in order to beat and strangle him for instructing officials of Ikeja Electricity Destribution ( IKED) to disconnect his house.

Eedris on his part, denied attempting to assault the man. He alleged that his landlord had sexually harassed his wife in his absence and that all efforts to make him stop failed.

He also claimed that his landlord had once been arrested for a previous case of sexual harassment against a female tenant.

He said Abimbola frequently encroached on their side of the compound without permission. The case is still ongoing.
