Plumstead police has been branded incompetent by a landlady whose tenant was convicted in the Magistrates Court in February this year for assaulting her.
After Magistrates convicted 47 year Christian Nwala for assaulting his landlady, an injunction was placed on him not to threaten or harass or threaten the landlady. The landlady who suffered a damaged eye has ever since pleaded for anonymity to save her what she considers an ”attack on her dignity” following the horrendous attack. However, the woman beater has continued to be a nuisance to his landlady. On Monday, PC Wells contacted the landlady to confirm that CCTV she handed them revealing Nwala pursuing her in her own premises with a camera did not warrant an arrest or any significant action.
Violent Christian Nwala was handed just a suspended sentence of 26 weeks because it was his first offence. However, landlady claims shameless Nwala has subjected her and her workmen to plenty of stress and discomfort by confronting them whenever they are in her property. The woman who owns a £350,000 four bedroom property in Plumstead, South London was forced by the civil courts to keep Nwala in her property despite the fact he has not paid a penny in rent for over 12 months.
When the assault case was brought to Magistrates in February against the 47 year old brute, the court heard how the considerate landlady admitted him into the property without having to pay any deposit, following the recommendation of a mutual acquaintance. Nwala tried to appeal the conviction, but lost.
Accepting Nwala as a tenant was the worse decision the landlady ever made. Since then, troublesome Nwala has allegedly damaged her front glass, assaulted the landlady, and confronted her workmen whenever they attended the property to work on her behalf. Nwala was told by the judge at their hearing that he would be jailed if he were to harass her in any shape or form after that date.
Convicted criminal: Christian Nwala
However, in March 2018, CCTV of the convicted criminal pursuing the landlady was handed to Plumstead police last week. Convicted Nwala can be seen pursuing a woman to whom he owes huge rent, to film her in a manner she found harassing. The tenant who has not paid a penny in rent for over a year, continues to live at the property in Plumstead Commons because of a legal technality that allowed him off the hook, when he claimednot to have receive a section 21 notice of eviction.
PURSUIT
The CCTV footage seen by The Eye Of Media.Com, shows violent Nwala chasing her, but no vocals can be heard. Plumstead police told her that because they could not hear what was being said they could take no action. Common sense would normally suggest that the tenant would have no justification for following his landlady around her own property with a camera, unless he was harassing her. If Nwala had some evidence he wished to capture on camera, it would take him under a minute to capture the evidence he needs instead of subjecting her to harassment.
When the landlady called the police, the officer who received the call said she could hear the aggression in the background. The restraining order against Christian Nwala states “that the defendant is prohibited from using or threatening violence towards Rosemary” . The footage reveals no violence, but strongly suggests harassment.
Plumstead Police have been written to by The Eye Of Media.Com twice, and asked to properly handle the incidents under their charge. Police have been called to the property nearly a dozen times since the conviction of Nwala, but each time no action has been taken. The angry landlady told The Eye Of Media.Com:
”This man’s behaviour as revealed in the CCTV is not normal, dignified, or respectable. I was terrified, and locked myself in the room until the police came. There is no reason or justification for him to be following me around with two phones trying to film me. What reasons has he got to film my movements in my own property? He was attempting to follow me upstairs, being verbally abusive with hand gestures that were threatening. I think I am being subjected to a prolonged and unacceptable level of harassment by a man who assaulted me”.
