Court orders tenant to vacate property in one week

She therefore granted him bail in the sum of N1 million with a surety in like sum.
Earlier, the Prosecution counsel, C. C. Okafor, told the court that the nominal complainant, Dr Zaina. Kasaba of Jesse Jackson Street, Asokoro reported the matter of criminal intimidation against the defendant at the Garki Police Station.
She said that the defendant used a cutlass and a knife to intimidate her when she was seeing off her brother who visited her.
Ms Okafor added that the defendant also threatened to kill the nominal complainant.
