Photos: Between Joseph Yobo and his former Landlord

Ray Smith, the former Landlord of former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo is angered at the moment. According to him, the Liverpool flat which he leased out to the Nigerian international is not only in a state of disrepair but the estimate of the damages is about 5,000 pounds.

“The state it’s been left in is just unbelievable. There’s bond money of 1,500 pounds but by the look of it, it will need 5,000 pounds 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.”

The former Everton player while speaking with reporters maintained that although the apartment was rented by his brother Gideon and leased in his name, he never lived there. The 33 year-old who is currently on loan in Norwich from Fenerbahce is also willing to pay for all the damages.

“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. If he puts in a full inventory, Gideon is ready to pay for anything that is damaged.”
