He drank my beer on credit, man owing landlord N120,000 tells court

A 38-year-old tenant, Genesis Genius, yesterday, told a Masaka chief magistrate’s court in Nasarawa State, that his landlord, Manzo Hassan, owes him for the beer he drank in his bar. Genius, a resident of Masaka, was taken to court by Hassan for owing him N120,000 arrears in rent. He agreed to pay the arrears, but insisted that his landlord should pay him his beer money first so he can add to it and pay his rent. According to Genius, “my landlord always comes to my beer parlour to drink. 

Afterwards, he will not pay me. I am sure he is using it to replace the money I owe him. “He has been doing it; the money he owes me amounts to a huge sum. He should pay me, so that I can pay him as well.”
