UK landlord who leased a penthouse flat to Joseph Yobo has
said he has never seen a house this dirty before. The Landlord who was visible
angry said, he is horrified and has never seen such before. He claims there
were burn marks on the carpet, a dirty kitchen and bathroom, and holes in the
wall left from a flat-screen television.
“There’s bond money of £1,500, but by the look of it, it
will need £5,000 to put all the damage right and I will have to call in industrial
cleaners. There are iron marks on the floor, as if left by ironing, and holes
in the wall left by flat-screen TVs. I’ve never come across anything like this
before and I’m just so shocked. The place looks as if it’s been burgled” he

Yobo has however denied ever living there and said his
brother, Godwin was the one who lived there and paid the rent.
“It’s my name on the
lease, but I never lived at the flat and I’ve never even been there. The
landlord doesn’t know me and he hasn’t spoken to Gideon about this. I have
property too and the landlord should have gone to the letting agents if he was
unhappy,” Yobo said.
