The rumour that popular Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike was thrown out of his rented duplex apartment in Magodo, Lagos by his landlord has unfolded a new twist as the actor is said to be suing the landlord for a whooping amount of N2billion as compensation.

According to a report last week, Emeka's landlord was reported to have said he threw the actor out of his Magodo, GRA twin-duplex in Lagos after the he failed to pay N8.5 million naira rent he owed.
The 87-year-old lanlord, who said Emeka hasn’t paid his staff for 9 months said: "We have filed a contempt of court against him (Emeka) and we have taken possession of the property and about renovating it.
"I have sympathy for Emeka, but unfortunately, he has no sympathy for himself."
Another report said Emeka went to court to plead that the judgment should be set aside and the case should be retried.

However,the court dismissed it, saying it was abuse of court process.
"I don’t know what Emeka would do again. I have never seen a character like that before," the landlord said after the court ruling.
However, in a chat with HVP, Emeka says he wants to sue the landlord for N2billion as compensation, while insisting that he was not thrown out of his rented apartment by his landlord as widely reported in the media.
We hope that both parties would settle this matter amicable soonest.
