I have a friend who moved into a serviced apartment complex in Lekki where they pay a heavy annual service charge for security, cleaning, and diesel generation. Last month, their landlord introduced a mandatory new rule: everyone must pay an extra 80,000 naira monthly 'Generator Maintenance Surcharge,' regardless of whether you travel out of town or use solar energy in your flat. Three of the tenants formed a union to challenge the arbitrary fee and requested a proper financial breakdown; the landlord brought electricians at 6:00 AM, cut off the power supply to their units, removed their front door handles, and locked them out of the compound gate. They didn't beg or argue; one of them was related to a soldier. When his uncle came, other tenants called the landlord. He came to open the gate with lots of pleas 🙏, returned everything that he removed and promised not to disturb them ever. Two days later, he sent his lawyer to serve them a quit notice.
