A 70-year-old widow living in Osogbo, Mrs Elizabeth Adeoni, has been arraigned in Osogbo customary court for owing 20 years rent.



The landlord of the widow, Lateef Adegoke, told the court that Mrs Adeoni had violated her tenancy agreement and had not been paying house rent since 1995.

Adegoke, therefore, prayed the court to assist him to recover his money from the widow and order her to vacate the house because he needs the money to take care of certain financial obligations.

Mrs Adeoni responded by saying that life had been very difficult for her since her husband died many years ago, adding that things became worse when she lost her two children.

While weeping, Adeoni pleaded with the court to beg the landlord not to eject her from the house because she had nowhere to go.

The President of the court, Ladipo Balogun, urged the woman not to lose hope and charged her to find something to do so as to be able to pay her rent.

The case has now been adjourned until March 15 for further hearing.
