A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to share a heartbreaking experience after she was allegedly forcefully evicted from her apartment by her landlord over unpaid rent.
In a viral and emotional video circulating online, the visibly distressed woman claimed she was owing rent for only eight months when the landlord allegedly took matters into his own hands and threw her out of the house.
According to her, the eviction happened without prior notice or any legal process, leaving her shocked and humiliated. She alleged that the landlord instructed that her belongings be brought outside and dumped, exposing her personal items to public view.
While recording the video, the lady tearfully showed her displaced household items scattered outside the building, expressing disbelief at the landlord’s actions.
“I didn’t do anything to this man. I was owing him for only eight months and he threw me out. Just look at my things. For him to have the mind to throw my things out like this… I will leave his house,” she said emotionally.
The incident has since sparked heated reactions online, with many Nigerians condemning the alleged action and pointing out that forceful eviction without a court order is illegal under Nigerian tenancy laws. Others, however, debated the issue of rent default, arguing that landlords are also under pressure in the current economic climate.
As of the time of this report, the landlord involved has not responded publicly to the allegations, and it remains unclear whether legal action has been taken.
The video continues to trend, reigniting conversations around tenant rights, due process, and the rising tension between landlords and tenants in Nigeria amid economic hardship.
