Target him and lock him outside one day, so he will feel how you feel when he locks you outside.

One of the reasons I can't live in a compound where the landlord lives within.
Better start looking for another house.

I had a landlady like that many years ago.I asked for the spare key after explaining my work schedule, she gave me to go make a spare. After a week, she changed the padlock. Confronted her, she said she could not give only me the spare key as I did not have 2 heads. So for a week, I'd be banging for about an hour before she opens the gate. So I told myself I would not renew my rent but before I'd pack out it would be a WWE.
So, I bought a very strong padlock and lock the gate on my way to office and didn't come home for 2 days. That was how the war started. I bought about 3 more padlocks, each was about 1k. Each time they got a welder to cut the damn padlock for 1k or so.
In the end, with the annoyance of other tenants, we came to a truce. The last padlock I bought was what we settled to use and i ensured every tenant had a copy. And no more banging. We agreed that the gate could be locked at stipulated time but every tenant using the gate must lock with their copy of the key each time.
The landlady, the tenants and neighbors started respecting me from that day.

Ahnahn what’s the meaning of that?

Sey na hostel?

Nigerians don’t know their rights at all.

See bros, better give a stern warning to that landlord. If the gate must be locked at that time then he should get a mallam/gateman else he should be prepared to go to court.

Your landlord or landlady as the case may be is very wrong.

As a tenant, you have the right of ingress and egress. That right grants you entrance into the property and exit from same. Even if it's not stated in your tenancy agreement, provided that you are a subsisting tenant, she is trampling on your rights.

You need to take a firm step to stop further breach of your rights.

Any landlord who try such a shît with me, the next day I'm coming home 12 am with a bullduzzer, I'm dropping the entire gate down. let's end the shît in court. I ain't living free, so you ain't making no rules.
