A Nigerian businesswoman has exposed a troubling case of employee theft just days after hiring a new staff member at her supermarket.
The individual, recently employed as a cleaner, was caught stealing various products from the store, including shortbread biscuits, chewing gum, body lotions, and other items. The employer revealed that the worker had been on the job for only a few days and had not yet been issued a uniform due to the short duration of his employment.
In a video circulated online, the businesswoman can be seen inspecting the contents of the employee’s bag and confronting him for the theft. The footage has since gone viral, prompting widespread reactions and discussions across social media about workplace trust and hiring practices.
Public Reactions on Social Media:
- @ladycecezee: "Chai… for those of us who own supermarkets, only God can help us."
- @shop____with_vian__: "Hiring someone based solely on tribal affiliations instead of qualifications is a form of tribalism—an ongoing issue in Nigeria. Hopefully, this serves as a lesson."
- @life_ofgrey: "This isn’t about hunger—he was being paid for the job. As a business owner, this type of betrayal is heartbreaking."
- @prettydiva1100: "Hunger and greed can push people to act dishonestly. Taking what doesn’t belong to you betrays the trust placed in you."
The incident continues to spark debate online and serves as a cautionary tale for business owners to implement more thorough vetting processes when hiring new staff.
