A Lagos resident, Miss Faith Praise Akpan, who was among several other apartment seekers in Lagos who lamented how a house owner identified as Mr Femi Olarenwaju, allegedly collected rent from over 15 people for the same apartment, leaving them stranded, indebted and traumatised, has been served a notice to quit.

The notice, signed by Bolarinwa Sururah Esq., stated that the landlords were demanding possession of the room-and-parlour self-contained apartment occupied by Akpan at No. 2, Ganiyu Shogunle Street, Off Ire Akari Estate, Isolo, Lagos.
