A disturbing incident has unfolded in Ketu, Lagos State, involving a lender, Adeniken Sunday, and a borrower, Lukman Ajorin, and his wife, who allegedly reneged on a loan agreement.
The couple approached Sunday for a loan of N500,000, which was to be repaid in a month with an additional N103,000 as interest.
According to the Sunday, "the agreement was made with the wife, who initiated the loan discussion. The lender claimed to have transferred the money to the wife's account, with a repayment date of August 18. However, the couple failed to pay, citing an increase in the amount to N707,000 due to additional charges.
After much pressure, the couple paid N150,000, followed by another N200,000 two months later. Despite repeated promises, the remaining balance of N401,000 remained unpaid.
Sunday alleged that Lukman Ajorin became evasive and aggressive when confronted about the debt, even resorting to cursing.
The situation escalated when the Sunday encountered Lukman Ajorin at a garage, leading to a commotion. Anjorin allegedly attacked Sunday with a broken bottle, leaving him wounded on the head and hand. Sunday claimed to have run for his life and later reported the incident to the police.
The police became involved, and the DSP advised the Sunday to seek medical attention for his injuries. Sunday is now seeking justice and demands that Lukman Ajorin and his wife repay the outstanding loan amount and face charges for their alleged actions.
Sunday however expressed frustration and disappointment over the couple's actions, stating that he had kept his end of the bargain but was let down by the borrowers' failure to repay the loan as agreed. He is now counting on the police to help him recover his money and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The police have promised to investigate the matter and take necessary actions to ensure justice is served.
