Akinleye Esther, the shortlet owner in Abuja, has narrated how an occupant of the facility allegedly fled with items in the apartment when his rent expired.

In a lengthy Twitter thread, Esther said she started the hospitality business about two months ago.

According to her, the unidentified client came to lodge in the apartment with his girlfriend and initially paid for a period of one week.

The entrepreneur said he would later extend his stay to three weeks but when his rent expired on August 20, she discovered he had allegedly stolen all items in the apartment.

Esther said items allegedly stolen by the client include television, bed, and curtains.

“Good evening, I have a shortlet (Gwagwalada, Abuja) business that i run and he just started about 2months ago the last client that came to stay in the apartment, firstly he paid for 1week with his girl friend and later extended with 2 weeks making 3weeks in total, his rent expire today Saturday 20th August and by the time we got to the apartment we realised that all the loads in the apartment are gone (pictures are above before and after pics) the only thing he left was broom,” she wrote.
