It must be due to leaks
Get a good plumber & is d occupant of d other apartment around? To be sure they didn't leave any of their tap opened

A good plumber has been invited, and inspection of all the apartments carried out, no leak was discovered.
The issue is really disturbing and mind boggling.
The drain in money used to load the nepa meter + the inconvenience of running out of water, as nepa isnt readily available.

Check the toilet if it draining from the water cistern
Lock each apartment and see if the water level reduces
Another issue, the leakage may be from the pipes layed underground into each apartment

the WC might be the culprit to look out for, some of the toilet WC might be overflowing or is it over-floating they say, let all occupants in the building check their toilets WC I'm sure the problem is from there. you lose water from there too.

Check the WC very well and the other tenants should also check their side as well.

If your location is in Lagos or Ogun state we can carry out what we called Pressure test for you to determine where the leakage is.

Oh edo state is far for this.
More so we have been using this machine for long to detect any leakage either new or old building.

When I handle the project of this thread owner HAJJI MUFUTAU plumbing work I used it there not only him , we do use it for all our plumbing/mechanical work.

Lastly in plumbing there are 3ways to test for leakage.
Pressure test.
Gradient test.
Smoke test.

When I said we have been using this device for long not 2,5,10 yrs to detect leakage ... yes I mean what I said.

Don’t forget we do filled the container with water before carry out the test.

I will find time to explain the process or post the Vedio later here when time permits to do so.

Same process with smoke test. The leakage point will show.

In cases like this one need to first of all identify the source(s) of the problem (water), stop it permanently after which you re-plaster the affected part if you don't want screening cause in this case, wallpaper will be useless.

third day sr.

the form work was not rightly erected by the carpenter hence we removed it and pull it in before nail back on the wall. can this cause this crack problem. maybe it trying to move back to initial position after concrete cast and formwork removed?

now what can I do to prevent further separation
