A prominent billionaire businessman from Southern Nigeria has been allegedly caught with a used sanitary pad belonging to his lover hidden in his pocket. The oil and gas tycoon, whose name is being withheld, had reportedly been in a romantic relationship with the woman for over seven years. During this period, he financed her lifestyle, sponsored her international trips, and purchased a house for her in Lagos.
The Incident
Earlier this year, after the businessman visited the lady at her residence in Ikoyi, Lagos, she noticed that her soiled sanitary pad was missing from the bathroom waste bin where she had discarded it. According to Vanguard Nigeria, sources close to the woman revealed that after the man, who resides in Banana Island, Lagos, left her home, she fell asleep. Upon waking, she discovered that the menstrual pad she had thrown away the previous night had mysteriously vanished.
Confrontation
Becoming suspicious, the woman contacted the billionaire and demanded he return to her house immediately. When confronted about the missing pad, the businessman allegedly denied taking it. However, the woman reportedly searched him and found the soiled sanitary pad hidden inside one of his pockets. She claimed that the circumstances strongly suggested the pad was taken for ritual purposes. When questioned about his motive, the businessman's explanation was deemed unsatisfactory.
Attempt to Reclaim Property
Following the confrontation, the businessman allegedly attempted to reclaim the house he had previously gifted her by forging ownership documents. The woman also claimed that through her CCTV camera app, she observed an ally of the oil mogul, along with other accomplices, unlawfully entering her apartment and removing personal belongings. These included a Range Rover, a 2024 Lexus RX350, $50,000, N10 million in cash, and jewelry valued at over 20,000 pounds.
Forgery and Threats
The woman further alleged that she recently discovered that all documents related to the property purchase, including deeds of assignment, had been fraudulently forged and re-issued in the name of the oil mogul. She claimed he bribed officials to register them with the Federal Land Registry. Additionally, she stated that her mother and siblings have been subjected to threats, harassment, and intimidation, causing a breach of peace. She expressed fear for her safety, alleging that influence, money, and power are being used against her, and her life is under serious threat.
Investigation and Flight
Sources indicate that the matter is now under investigation by the Special Fraud Unit in Ikoyi, Lagos, while the businessman has reportedly gone into hiding to avoid public exposure. Meanwhile, the frightened woman has fled abroad and engaged lawyers to write to the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) of the Nigeria Police Force in Ikoyi, urging them to investigate the case and grant her justice.
