A viral video has sparked strong reactions online after a landlord packed out the belongings of a tenant who was allegedly kidnapped months ago after travelling to his village in Imo state.

In the video, shared by @ChuksEricE on X (formerly Twitter), neighbors revealed that the tenant had been missing for an extended period, and no family member or friend came forward to renew the rent.

The landlord reportedly granted extra months of grace but eventually decided to clear out the apartment to make it available for new tenants.

Footage showed the tenant’s belongings arranged outside the compound, leaving social media users shocked and confused by the situation.

Some believe the landlord acted out of frustration and financial pressure, while others argue that the move was insensitive, especially given that the tenant’s whereabouts remain unknown.

A viewer commented, “This is heartbreaking. What if the person returns?” Another wrote, “Landlords no dey send anybody again. Economy don hard.”

The clip has ignited a heated debate online about compassion, property rights, and how landlords in Nigeria handle cases involving missing tenants.
