Ex-APC presidential aspirant evicted from Abuja house over unpaid rent

A former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2023 election, Tunde Omosebi, has been evicted from his Abuja residence following allegations of unpaid rent and other controversies.

The incident, captured in a viral video posted on X on November 15, showed a court enforcement team, supported by Police officers, evicting Omosebi from the property in a highbrow area of Abuja.

It was learnt that Omosebi’s tenancy had elapsed over four years ago and despite several attempts to recover outstanding payments, the politician reportedly refused to vacate the property.

In a letter dated June 30, 2022, Omosebi responded to the landlord’s complaints, stating his intention to terminate the lease agreement.

“Due to irreconcilable differences on your breach of agreements, we opt out of renewing our lease. This letter serves as notice to vacate your property within the allowable period,” the letter which has gone viral on the social media said.

However, the landlord resorted to legal action after Omosebi failed to leave.

“I had to use his letter to file for eviction. He claimed ownership of the house but never appeared in court until the final judgment,” the landlord said.

The landlord further alleged that during the court proceedings, a magistrate overseeing the case died, and the judge who delivered the final ruling lost a close relation.

Contacted for comments, Omosebi denied all allegations, including claims of owning the house. “This is all fabricated,” he said.
