A Nigerian man has narrated what happened after he provided tap water outside his house for neighbours to fetch.

According to the man, he wanted his neighbours to have access to tap water, but one of them shocked him.

In a story shared on X, the man, @Niran_GMH said he was surprised when he came out one day and found that the tap was locked.

He said he later discovered it was one of the neighbours who locked the tap with a padlock. He asked why the neighbour had to lock the tap, and she said it was to control access to it.

The story goes:

“I created a tap outside the fence for neighbours to fetch water. On the first day, a neighbor bought padlock to lock the tap. She claimed that she thought it should be regulated. Mind you, she had never spoken to me or anyone in the hse before.”
The man said he went ahead to instruct the woman to unlock the tap to allow people to freely fetch water.

The story, which is trending online, surprised many netizens who took to the comment section to air their views.

When asked what he did in reaction, the man said:

“Instructed her to remove the padlock.”
