Lira Landlord Evicts Tenant After Alleged Razor Blade Incidents

[Archival Sense]

A landlord in Ober Kampala, Lira City West Division, has evicted a 30-year-old tenant after reportedly discovering that he repeatedly swallowed razor blades whenever he became angry with his wife.

According to Lira FM, Jasper Ogwang, a local construction worker, was asked to leave the premises following complaints from neighbours and fellow tenants about his behaviour.

Landlord Yubentino Ojok and Ober Kampala LC1 Vice Chairperson Julius Omara confirmed the incident.

Omara said Ogwang admitted, when confronted, that he swallowed razor blades as a way of dealing with what he described as extreme anger towards his wife.

The situation reportedly left Ogwang’s wife frightened, prompting her to pack her belongings and return to her ancestral home in Barapwo, where she said she feared for her safety.

Local leaders and the landlord are now overseeing the removal of Ogwang’s remaining property from the area.

Police have not yet been involved in the matter, according to the local authorities.

The incident has raised concern among residents over Ogwang’s wellbeing and the potential danger posed by the behaviour, both to himself and people around him.
