A Kenyan man known as Faruky has shared his harrowing experience after being allegedly locked inside his property by his landlord due to unpaid rent.
The TikTok content creator shared his plight in a video, filmed inside the property. He can be seen with a metal shutters that have a large padlock on them.
He also mentioned that there was an alarm fitted so that if anybody tried to tamper with the lock the landlord would know.
Faruky explained how everything started to go wrong when his motorbike broke down. This was his only source of income and he hoped to fix it by replacing the broken part. However, it got worse and the motorbike no longer worked.
Faruky could no longer earn any money to support himself and therefore struggled to pay his rent.
Things got worse as a family member was reportedly unwell and in hospital. He was struggling to pay for both the medical bills and his rent.
Faruky explained how he had tried to talk to his landlord about his situation to gain some understanding. However, it didn’t make any difference.
He added how he even gave his phone to the landlord. This was his final valuable item and he hoped it would show he was willing to work with them.
Eventually Faruky took to TikTok to tell his story and ask for help from his friends, followers and other well wishers. He couldn’t believe how he had got into this situation, despite seeing other people struggle before.
This shows how some people get into tricky situations when unexpected things happen. Faruky’s motorbike broke down and caused a series of issues with money. He is now asking for somebody to come forward and help him out.
