Narrative:

While working radar approach I pointed aircraft X out to rsw tower so aircraft X can descend into fmy airport. Aircraft X reported fmy airport insight. I cleared him for the visual approach into fmy. He cancelled his IFR and told him that the rsw tower is watching him fly through to his destination. I accomplished other approach duties such as strip management and class C service. Rsw tower called me and told me that the aircraft X just landed on rsw runway 24 without clearance.aside from asking the pilot if he's 'sure you have the correct airport insight' I'm not sure what else could be done.
