Nollywood Actor Emeka Ike Ejected From St. Nicholas School Building As Court Seals Premises

This is not the best of times for ace actor
and school proprietor, the very popular
Emeka Ike known for so many things and
love for scandal.
Cos according to MaestroMedia, the very
well known actor turned educationist's
school located at 1, Raji Olamideji
Crescent, Magodo beside PMS filling
station on CMD road was shut down or
better still taken possession of by the
court last week Friday, January 24, 2014
after a protracted court case that lasted
all of 5 years.
From the little information they were able
to gather, Emeka had had a running battle
with the owners of the
property for the past 5 years, during
which the well known actor refused to
pay a dime to the property owners.
The school St. Nicholas College, a
secondary school was established in 2008
by the ace actor. And according to the gist
then, Emeka was supposed to have
invested about N200 million in the making
the school happen at the property that
they have now been sent packing from.
All through the years of the school
existence Emeka, his wife and the school
had been engaged in one unconfirmed
allegation after the other.  Some of the
allegations are as follows:
none payment of
salaries as at when due
to the staff & teachers;
he apparently used to
owe many of those
working for him for
upwards of 6 months at
a time.
He was also alleged to
prefer employing
unqualified & non
professional teachers in
a school, where parents
were paying exorbitant
school fees thinking they
were getting the best of
education and more. So
bad was the situation at
the school at a point,
that many parts of
building were said to
have been in a state of
disrepair.
At a point it was alleged
that only 13 students
remained in the school,
as others had been
withdrawn by their
parents.
Everything finally came to a head last
week, when court bailiffs acting under
instructions took possession of the
school. Just before sealing it, they were
reported to have carted away a few of the
valuables that were still in the school, like
the school bus, a few air-conditioners
and some furniture.
As at the time of filing this report, some
of the remaining things that the bailiffs
couldn't cart away are all still outside the
school premises littering the frontage.
