Footballer Joseph Yobo’s Flat Horrifies His Landlord

A landlord in Liverpool was horrified
when he saw the state in which a flat
leased in the name of Super Eagles
captain, Joseph Yobo, had been
left. There were burn marks on the
carpet, a dirty kitchen and bathroom,
and holes in the wall. There are iron
marks on the floor, as if left by ironing.
The landlord cried out: "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 state it's been
left is just unbelievable. 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."
The landlord, Mr Ray Smith, says actions
will be taken on the situation...
But Yobo is claiming that he has never
lived in the apartment in South Ferry
Quay, Liverpool Marina, nor even been
there. According to him, his younger
brother, Gideon, paid the rent.
The keys to the flat were handed back
to the agent over the weekend,
Liverpool Echo reports.
Yobo, who is now on loan to Norwich
from Turkish side Fenerbahce,
insisted: " 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."
