A tenant in Nigeria has expressed his disbelief after discovering that a corpse had been buried beneath the living room of the house he has been renting. The tenant, who shared his experience on social media platform X, revealed that he was informed by the landlord's family of their plans to exhume the body of a deceased relative.

According to the tenant, he was completely unaware of the burial until the landlord's family visited to discuss their intentions to relocate the remains of their late family member, who was also the father of the landlord. He recounted, "I rented a house that someone was buried inside the living room and I didn't know. My landlord's family came around today and told me they want to move their dead brother."

The tenant described his shock at the revelation, noting that he had been living in the house for over a year, and had even renewed his rent just a month prior. He stated, "Now I'm shocked that I've been living and sleeping above a burial ground for a year plus now, meanwhile the house is a new house and I was the first tenant."

In a follow-up post, he mentioned that the exhumation took place on Sunday, October 4, and shared an AI-generated image depicting a coffin being dug up. The tenant's story has garnered significant attention online, raising questions about the transparency of landlords regarding the history of their properties.

This incident highlights the importance of thorough inquiries before renting a property, as well as the need for clearer communication between landlords and tenants about any potential issues related to the property’s past. As the tenant grapples with the implications of this shocking discovery, many are left wondering how such a significant detail could have been overlooked in the rental process.
