Eedris Abdulkarrem, a
former member of defunct group, the Remedies, was arrested last week by men of
the Nigerian Police Force after he reportedly beat up his landlord over unpaid
electricity bills.
The rapper according
to reports had attacked the landlord, Oladipo Abimbola, over an unpaid N535,000
accumulated electricity bills on January 3, 2020, at Valley View Estate, Ikeja,
Lagos.
The landlord had
alleged that the case of assault happened on January, 3rd, 2020 at Valley View
Estate, Ikeja, when Eedris allegedly forced his way into his compound to
strangle him after he was confronted about owing electricity bills.
According to the
landlord, Eedris’ wife was the one who rented the apartment. He went on to
reveal that Eedris Abdulkareem is a dangerous man and would stop at nothing to
carry out his threats.
However, Eedris
accused his landlord of making advances to his wife alleging further that his
landlord had sexually harassed his wife in his absence and that all efforts to
make him stop had failed.
The rapper also
claimed that his landlord has once been arrested for a previous case of sexual
harassment against a female tenant.
However, reports say
the case was still ongoing as the matter is yet to be resolved by concerned
authorities.
