The lawyer said:

"There is this case we have been on for a while now. Somebody gave us a house to manage. On getting to the house, unfortunately, we could not meet the man in the house. And this person is a pastor. I discovered that this tenant has been owing for about seven years. The landlord unfortunately, is not based in Nigeria, so she doesn't take full track of her rent. And because of that, the tenant decided to exploit her. He doesn't take her call, doesn't acknowledge her messages and he refused to pay the rent. He has not settled. Yesterday's night, somebody called us from the estate where he is living that he has packed out. He packed out, he didn't tell us."

The lawyer said the matter has been taken to court.

A pastor for my side told the family of his landlord after the landlord died that he has paid 30 years' rent to the landlord and the man didn’t have a receipt or any bank transactions to prove it."

@Zachariah.sodeinde said:

"Why would you even believe him when he told you he was going to pay the 7 years rent. If he has the 7 years rent he would have left the house since. The time he asked for is just to raise money to be able to rent house somewhere else."
