A Nigerian man has recounted how he spent about one year and three months in Kirikiri prison after a man he accommodated allegedly d!ed inside his house.
In a video shared on TikTok, the man said he allowed the deceased to stay with him because he considered him his person, adding that he did not know his parents.
According to him, he was left confused after the man was found inside a water tank in his house.
He said the incident eventually led to his imprisonment despite claiming that he had no knowledge of how the deceased ended up inside the tank.
“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.”
The man further recalled how the deceased’s family reportedly travelled from Ibadan after the incident and asked the police not to release him.
“Thank God we were able to find him inside. The family travelled down from Ibadan and told the policemen not to free me. But I’m grateful God came through for me.”
