A Nigerian man has sparked heated reactions online after reportedly demolishing a house he built for his mother-in-law following his divorce.
According to a viral post shared by X user @BolanleCole, the man, identified as Okon Michael, had constructed a small bungalow for his wife’s mother during their marriage.
However, trouble began barely two years later when his wife allegedly requested a divorce, claiming she had “found the man of her dreams.”
The post claimed that shortly after the divorce papers were signed, the man returned to the property and brought the building down.
The dramatic action has divided social media users, with some describing it as petty and emotional, while others defended him, arguing that he simply reclaimed what he paid for.
A few commentators questioned the legality of the act, especially if the land belonged to the mother-in-law’s family.
The incident has since reignited debates around divorce, entitlement, and property ownership in marriages.
