A young Nigerian lady, Caramel is crying for justice after the house she rented in November was found to have been sold by landlord and the new owner begins demolition with tenants still inside.
Her story:
“On my way back from Delta on the 2nd, I called the Care taker to find out if the electrician he brought had fix the lights (I had paid him 8k already which I’ve not gotten back), it was then he told me that the house was being demolished and I needed to come quickly.
Caramel Goodness@khol “That was the day I was supposed to move in and I was going to my friend’s house to move my things when I heard. I called the Landlord whose name is Larry and he said he wanted to call the new landlord. Because he had sold the house to someone else
“Rewind to Dec 21st, the landlord’s P.A called me to tell me that they had sold the house and they wanted to backdate my receipt to 2019 so that the new landlord doesn’t know.
“I thought something was fishy so I didn’t give him my receipt. I wanted to know if the house would be ..demolished. He said no. From what I heard, he had been getting letters since 2019 and he didn’t say anything. Two tenants and I went to his office today and he just kept shouting.
“He mentioned something about how it was the new landlord who called the govt to come and ..demolish because he didn’t want the govt to take the land.. I couldn’t get him to explain that because he kept quarrelling with the other girl.
“He said he was trying to work with the new landlord to get our money back but people that know him say he’s lying and he won’t .give us our money back. We found that he has bought another property on a street not too far from the demolished. I really just want my money back so I can move on. This is a major setback. I’m so tired.
