A former tenant has described a troubling encounter that resulted in an abrupt departure from a seemingly peaceful residential community in Asaba, Delta State, after discovering disturbing details regarding a locked flat on the property.

The incident was reported by the netizen known as @TheKingDaughtaa on X.

The tenant had moved into a small apartment in a quiet courtyard with just five people, according to the account.

During the tenant’s stay, one of the apartments, which was previously thought to be empty, remained locked.

However, strange events, such as sounds like movement and furniture being pulled inside the purportedly empty flat, allegedly started at night.

The weird episodes allegedly persisted, with reports of footsteps, running water, and flushing toilets emanating from the locked property, mostly during late hours, despite the landlord’s claims that the occupant was regularly gone.

When a second long-term tenant allegedly refuted the landlord’s account, claiming that no one had occupied the unit for more than a year, worries grew. After the tenant reported seeing candlelight inside the apartment after a power outage, the situation worsened.

Read what she said below…

“There was a time I rented a mini flat somewhere around Asaba, it was a peaceful compound, neat, quiet, just five tenants in total but something was off. One of the flat has been locked since I moved in, nobody came in or go out, I assumed it was vacant until one night,

I overheard someone moving around inside dragging sounds like furniture, mind you this was at 2am. The next morning I asked the Landlord casually, I thought flat 3 was empty, he just smiled and said “oh the tenant travels alot, hardly ever around, but from that day on I started hearing footsteps in that flat mostly at night. Sometimes the toilet would flush or I would hear water running in the bathroom. One day I bumped into an old woman from the next flat, I asked her “mama the man in Flat 3 is he back?” She looked at me confused, which man? Nobody lives there since last year.

I reminded her of the Landlord explanation and she just said “that Landlord will lie himself into trouble one day. I was disturbed but I brushed it off, maybe it was a squatter or maybe the Landlord was hiding something. It got worst, one evening Nepa took light, I was sitting outside when I noticed a candle flicking inside flat 3, I called the landlord again, he sigh deeply and said “let me be honest with you, a man rented that flat last year, quiet boy always indoors, one day he just vanished, no calls no notice, rent paid in full. We waited for weeks, the door was locked from the inside but no one answered, we had to break it, I asked “and so what happened?”

He said nothing was missing, his clothes, shoes, phones everything were there, even his id card, no sign of struggle just gone like he vanished into thin air. Ah police came, they investigated nothing till date no one has seen or heard from him. I asked him why he didn’t tell the new tenants, I mean they should know than being kept in the dark, he said because I need to rent the house. Nobody wants to live in a flat where someone disappeared, I clean the place and keep it locked, but sometimes people say they still hear him. Needless say I moved out the next week. What would you have done if you were in my shoes?”
