Man demands arrest of asaba house agents over ₦1.5 to ₦1.6 million rent for POP-fitted homes
A Nigerian man has called for the arrest of house agents in Asaba over the skyrocketing cost of house rents, alleging that they charge as much as ₦1.5 million for a two-bedroom apartment with a parlor, simply because it features POP ceilings.
In a lengthy video shared on his TikTok page, the man expressed frustration over the exorbitant rent prices, questioning why houses with POP ceilings are rented out at such high rates.
