A man whose shop was reportedly forcefully taken and auctioned by the Sharia Court of Appeal in Abuja has finally recovered his property following widespread public outrage.
The man, who had earlier gone viral in a video lamenting the loss of his shop, expressed deep gratitude to Nigerians who raised their voices in solidarity during his ordeal. He said the collective outcry on social media and public pressure played a decisive role in ensuring justice was served.
“I want to thank every Nigerian who spoke up for me. Your voices made justice prevail,” he said in a new video shared by journalist Chuks Eric on X (formerly Twitter).
Earlier, the court had allegedly auctioned the man’s shop over a disputed debt claim, sparking outrage and questions about due process. The incident quickly drew nationwide attention, prompting calls for intervention and fairness.
Following the public outcry, authorities reportedly reviewed the matter, leading to the restoration of the shop to its rightful owner.
Many Nigerians online have celebrated the development as a victory for collective civic action and a reminder of the power of social media advocacy in promoting justice.
