The absence of the presiding judge of Asaba Customary Court 3, Oshimili South Local Government Area of Delta State has stalled a legal battle between a landlord and his tenant.
The judge did not sit to hear the matter because he was said to be attending health training workshop.
The landlord, Pastor Sunday Ogbogho Onosakponome, of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has sued his tenant, Kenneth Orusi over unlawful occupant of a one-bedroom apartment in his house in Asaba, the State capital
Pastor Onosakponome, the Plaintiff, sought to evict his tenant, Kenneth Orusi, Defendant over a renovation claim, but the matter could not be entertained when it came up on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, following the “unavoidable absence” of the judge.
The case with suit No. OSACCIII/17//2025, was therefore adjourned till April 24, 2025 for commencement.
