He therefore expressed astonishment when he visited the site and realised that his uncle built an incomplete tarched house on the land.

Sounding disappointed and let down, the man could be heard in the video saying he now had to pull down the structure on the land and begin building the house from scratch.

He, however, vowed to get his uncle arrested immediately over what he had done.

Some individuals who visited him at the site of the building also could not hide their disbelief at what his uncle had done.
