A house agent in Warri has come under fire after being accused of duping a client out of a total of ₦650,000 under the pretense of securing a store for rent. The breakdown of the amount includes ₦550,000 supposedly for the store and an additional ₦100,000 for agent fees.
This development was brought to light in a viral video shared by TikTok user @samuel.faith.sull. The clip captures the moment the agent was confronted by angry locals and forced to admit his wrongdoing.
According to the narrator in the video, the client had been promised a store space once the current occupant vacated it. The agent assured her that he had been authorized by the landlord to handle the rental and collect the payment on their behalf.
However, when the space eventually became available, the landlord handed it over to someone else, denying any knowledge of the agent or receiving any form of payment from him. This led the victim and concerned parties to track down the agent for answers.
During the heated confrontation captured on video, the agent confessed that he had no formal arrangement with the landlord and admitted to using the client’s money to settle his own personal issues.
In the video, a voice questioned him, stating:
“She gave you money, you said the store would be available, that the landlord put you in charge. But when it became available, the landlord said he never gave you the store and didn’t know you. Now you say you’ve used the money for personal issues—₦550,000 plus ₦100,000 agent fee.”
The incident has sparked outrage online, especially among users who claim to have had past dealings with the same agent. The comments section of the video was flooded with reactions, ranging from shock to personal testimonies of similar scams.
