A Nigerian man has recounted how he spent about a year and three months in Kirikiri Prison after a man he accommodated d!ed inside his house.

In a video shared on TikTok, the man explained that he allowed the deceased to stay with him because he regarded him as someone close to him. He said he did not know the man’s parents and was only trying to help him.

According to him, he was left confused when the man reportedly ended up inside a GT tank in his house.

“I was sentenced to Kirikiri prison for a year and a half because I accommodated someone and he d!ed in my house. I don’t know what came into him that landed him inside a GT tank. I don’t know his father and mother. I only helped him because he’s my person.”

He further recalled that the deceased’s family travelled from Ibadan after the incident and reportedly asked the police not to release him.

“The family travelled down from Ibadan and told the policemen not to free me. But I’m grateful God came through for me.”

The man said he eventually found a way through the situation and expressed gratitude to God for helping him overcome the difficult experience.

His account has generated reactions online, with social media users discussing the circumstances surrounding the death and the legal consequences he faced after accommodating the deceased.

The incident has also raised questions about the risks and unexpected consequences that can sometimes arise when people accommodate others in their homes.
