Tunde Omosebi, a former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election, has been evicted from his Abuja residence amid allegations of unpaid rent and other controversies.
The eviction, captured in a viral video posted on X on November 15, showed a court enforcement team, supported by police officers, removing Omosebi from the property in an upscale area of Abuja.
Reports indicate that Omosebi’s tenancy had expired over four years ago. Despite numerous attempts to recover outstanding payments, the politician allegedly refused to vacate the premises.
In a letter dated June 30, 2022, Omosebi responded to the landlord’s complaints, expressing his intention to terminate the lease agreement. The letter, which has circulated widely on social media, stated: “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.”
However, after Omosebi failed to leave, the landlord pursued legal action, leading to the recent eviction.
“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.
Omosebi, however, denied all allegations, including claims of owning the house. “This is all fabricated,” he said.
