A popular billionaire businessman has allegedly been caught with his lover’s used sanitary pad hidden in his pocket.
The oil and gas mogul from Southern Nigeria, whose identity was withheld, was reportedly in a relationship with the woman for over seven years. During the relationship, he allegedly financed her lifestyle, sponsored trips abroad and bought her a house in Lagos.
According to Vanguard Nigeria, the incident occurred earlier this year after the businessman visited the woman at her residence in Ikoyi, Lagos State. The woman later discovered that a used sanitary pad she had discarded in her bathroom bin had gone missing.
Sources told the publication that after the businessman, who reportedly resides in Banana Island, Lagos, left the house, the woman slept off and later woke up to discover the missing sanitary pad.
Suspicious, she reportedly contacted the businessman and asked him to return to the house immediately.
When confronted, the businessman allegedly denied taking the sanitary pad. However, the woman reportedly searched him and allegedly found the soiled pad hidden in one of his pockets.
The woman claimed the incident made her suspect the item was intended for ritual purposes. She reportedly questioned the businessman about why he took the pad, but said his explanation was unsatisfactory.
Following the confrontation, the businessman allegedly attempted to reclaim the house he had gifted her by forging ownership documents, according to the report.
The woman also alleged that CCTV footage from her apartment showed an associate of the businessman and other accomplices unlawfully entering her home and removing valuables, including a Range Rover, a 2024 Lexus RX350, $50,000, N10 million in cash and jewellery worth more than £20,000.
She further claimed that property documents originally issued in her name were fraudulently altered and reissued in the businessman’s name through alleged bribery at the Federal Land Registry.
According to the report, the woman said her mother and siblings have also been subjected to threats, harassment and intimidation. She expressed fears for her safety, alleging that money, influence and power were being used against her.
Sources further alleged that the matter is currently being investigated by the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Ikoyi, Lagos, while the businessman is said to have gone into hiding.
Meanwhile, the woman has reportedly fled abroad, where she engaged lawyers to petition the SFU of the Nigeria Police Force for an investigation and justice.
