Woman moves into her uncompleted house
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Port Harcourt woman packed her belongings into her own uncompleted duplex after she said her landlord kept raising her rent without reason, choosing to live in an unfinished structure rather than continue paying for accommodation she felt was no longer worth the stress.
