Please what could it be?
It moves fast like walking or running , and feels as if it will crash down from the ceiling many atimes.

How do I take care or eliminate this??

Lol! Rats. Buy Cats.

Depends on where you live. Could be anything from big rats, cats, to maybe even monkeys, monitor lizards, Komodo dragons etc

It's the oyinbo wey send you flight money. He wants to know when are coming

Don't be afraid

Night bird, a witch
Do you experience sleep paralysis?

Those are huge rats. It may be that God has answered your prayers for food. Don't be slack! Get to work! That rat peppersoup will not prepare itself sir.

Possible squirrels...

Enter with torch light, then you can be sure of what is disturbing your peace at night.

The opening to the ceiling is not in my flat..

I read a similar story on quora. The young man said the moment the usual night noise went down & it was time for bed, then came this noise.
It started slow, then fast, and went on till dawn. Morning his neighbor came and apologised that it was her cat playin with its table tennis ball.
It's both funny and not because the man couldn't wink all through the night yet didn't know what to think.

So it's probably the cats. Some people don't mind having cats around but personally I hate them. If it's my house I'll just set traps for them or even poison

It's been happening for a while , and I can overlook it most times.

I thought exactly along this lines too...
That it could be quite any of these things. A monkey has walked up the fence one time too.
But Cat is no. 1 on the list of suspect. Followed by large rats.

Set a trap if possible
