“In Re: property at plot 307, Gabes Street, Wuse District,

Plaintiff also demanded for the N14, 700, 000.00 (Fourteen Million,
Seven Hundred Thousand Naira) only being arrears of rent owed
the Plaintiff by the 1st Defendant for the tenancy years 2004/2005,
2005/2006, 2006/2007, 2007/2008 year half but the Defendants
neglected and/or failed to yield ground or offer any explanation for
not paying the said sum to the Plaintiff.
The said Plaintiff’s Letter of Demand of 2nd August, 2012 attached
and marked Annesture 7 in the Schedule of Annexture.
14.
Five months later and in the face of the Defendants’ studied
silence to the Plaintiff’s demand for the subject matter arrears of
rent, the Plaintiff through his solicitors communicated a reminder of
the demand for the said arrears of rent to the Defendants via a letter
dated the 18th day of January, 2013 and entitled:
“Reminder of demand for payment for payment of rent arrears in re:
property at Plot 307, Gabes Street, Wuse District, Abuja”
but the Defendants despite receiving and acknowledging receipts of
the Plaintiff’s demand for his money have continued to maintain
studied silence on the issue and unduly hold onto the Plaintiff’s
money.
