According to Daily Trust, a co-tenant with Mukailu, Innocent Badmus, said that trouble started on Monday morning after Mukailu hit their landlord, Adegoke Tunde, with a plank on his head during an argument on the outstanding payment.

Badmus said the landlord accused the tenant of insulting him which led to the argument which degenerated into a fight.
