Agbako: Tenant wore a mask, dressed in black, plastered walls with images of animals

An unnamed landlady has recounted her ordeal at the hands of a tenant who she claims plastered the house with images of animals.

In a short video posted by Chisom as @_chisomokafor, a woman believed to be the landlady and a few others were seen walking around the apartment.

The walls were said to have been covered by the tenant with black paintings of animals, while paintings of birds were painted on the ceilings of the kitchen.

There was also a black piece of cloth with the mark hanging above the living room.

The landlady told how she ended up with the tenant, revealing that she was deceived by his innocence at their first meeting.

“This man came to the house dressed as a decent person, who he works with; that he knows how to paint. I thought he was responsible. After all the people who came (for the apartment), I chose him. I never knew what awaited me,” she explained.

She went on to say that the problems started when he moved in and other tenants started complaining about his pranks.

He stopped them (other tenants) from sweeping… He was constantly harassing other tenants. I kept my cool; I never confronted him one day.

‘There is an older woman upstairs, she is staying with her maid. She had to change maids four times because they kept complaining that he was bothering them. I should advocate on his behalf,” she added.

Elaborating further, the landlady said the last straw was when the estate management started complaining about his clothes.

“He wore masks and black Jalabia during the year he lived in my house. I didn’t find out until six months later, after the estate management started looking for him. Imagine living on an estate and wearing masks. That was the only reason I asked him to leave,” she concluded.
