A Landlord shocked residents of Kifumbira zone, Kamwokya, when he evicted a tenant on Christmas day for allegedly throwing faeces at his house.

Peter Katerega, the landlord said he could not sympathise with Mubiru, his tenant, because he had for a long time warned him against defecating on newspapers which he would later throw in the latrine.

Friends said Mubiru, who fears to visit the latrine at night, returned home from a Christmas party complaining of stomach problems he attributed to worms.

The friends added that at about 11:00pm when Mubiru’s situation worsened, he, as usual, searched for an old newspaper to relieve himself.

After he was done, Mubiru, who they said looked tipsy, began pondering his next move before he opted to dispose off the faeces by throwing it over the landlord’s roof.

Unfortunately, Mubiru’s gods must have abandoned him that night because the shit landed on the landlord’s window.

The weight of the faeces caused a loud bang, awakening the landlord and some of the neighbours who thought robbers had struck the neighbour’s house.

When the landlord got out of the house to establish what was happening, he found a tipsy Mubiru fidgeting to clean the window panes.

In anger, the landlord ordered Mubiru to quickly pack and leave his house.

Mubiru pleaded for forgiveness from his landlord.

He argued that he had no where to go at the moment because it was Christmas day, but his pleas fell on deaf ears.
