I pray he is not a innocent man..... Set up by evil people. He is a hustler apparently not a criminal mind. He organizes and transports food items from benue to abj for income and he also sublet rooms in his home which is enterprise and in doing so expose himself and heinous activities to witnesses and scrutiny, not a likely scenario for a criminal mind.
The mob battered the man into confessing what he knows nothing about.

Slynation:
Things are really happening...

Oga, according to 2baba...."Nothing dey happen"
So no confuse us abeg

where is this world taking us to.....Bad news every where...this is Ogbenutan

Selling it too fast could give the vibe that you are guilty

Sigh... This is why people deliberately and seriously avoid our towns and villages.

Those of you that keep saying "Education is a Scam", shey una dey see wetin Illiteracy dey cause for this una 4th world nation??!

This is so sad, I don’t even know what to say…

May God give you the wisdom to manage the situation properly…

Israel5:
Please don't turn this into a tribal witch-hunt. I am not Igbo, and my hometown is not East. My hometown is in north central, and the Tenant happen to be from same state. I won't say more than this.

I like your maturity bro. Sell that property and move on.

Stop tribalising crime and vices.

As saliva is to the mouth so is crime to the world

One word sell it. So you don't have to struggle with the memories of the house.
Your lawyer, who is in the best position also advised the same. So heed to it.

Ignore this asking for state, they just want a tribal war to feast on

Israel5:
I have just been informed by neighbours from my house in my home town that my tenant was burnt to death by people in the environment. They almost burnt my house too but for some interventions. They ransacked the entire house, burn any item they could find, cutting down trees and pulling down doors.

He was accused of stealing and selling children. Four children have been reported missing. He confirmed it, only that they can not be recovered. That was before they meted jungle justice on him. He was survived by a wife and four children. The family are in police custody now. All his properties brought out and set on fire.
As I write, I am in shock right now. I can't travel there. All the while this devil told me he deals with Rice and other food items. He usually comes to Abuja to sell his items, asking to visit my house but for some reason I refused to let him. I have never him physically though. I thought he was a good man, how that he helped secure the property. It was after his death yesterday, I got to find out that he rented other rooms to some students and was collecting rent. Unfortunately, the properties of these students were burnt too. Not my problem.

I have contacted a property lawyer, and sent him there. He confirmed the incident, but asked me to sell the entire property.

Is that the right call? Seeing that the people see the house as bad omen now.
Please what do I do? Am I going to be implicated? I don't know the devil.

...My Dear that's a bad advice from the lawyer... would you burn down your house because there's too many rats in there? U had a terrible tenant...not that your house is terrible... not the tenant is gone for good... secure your house and do proper check before you take in another tenant period.

You don't mention the state both of reside in

Neddstark:
Landlords need to do due diligence. It is your duty to know about every tenant in your house. If your tenant is a cultist, high possibility that a murder can happen in your house. If your tenant is like what the OP said he was the. Things like this happen.
The house i presently am houses a weird single guy who lives isolatedly and seems to be on hard drugs.

I advise you to consider selling your property. A new buyer and developer will change the story of that house. Glad your house wasn't burnt. Time to move on.

mayb I’m d guy

First Secure a police protection over ur Building. Don't sell. Lock it up

Ladyclara002:
In simpler terms, when something as troubling as this happens, it's really important to seek help from lawyers who understand the law. They can help figure out what to do about the house and make sure you stay safe and feel better about the situation.

Same lawyers wey carry another man mandate give another person abi? Dey play

clinician2x:


So if the perpetrator de deal with human skull and parts where e for be?

my ask dem o

Seal it first, in due time you can decide to sell, if you sell now it equals giveaway

If I were you. I will give everyone quit notice. Look my house for the mean time. After a while, when the case has died down, open it back and start renting again with proper vetting

I witnessed the incident first hand. So painful

waledeji:
E no go pass East na

Hatred won't allow you to think properly, you forgot Ogun where skull miners are doing their normal business, all you could think of is east.

I hope ur tenant is not d one burnt in Otukpo town bcus of stealing a four years old child.

Nigerians and jungle justice.

Do not sell the property after the whole issue dies down, rent it to students and make one of the students a care taker, you visit once in a while so the students can know you

Israel5:
I won't reply individuals. Bear with me. But every opinion is well appreciated in advance.

I need to make a decision before weekend. Thank you. 😢😥

By this time next month, most people will forget about the incident.


Never sell your property
