A house help has been caught and exposed after allegedly stealing several dollars from her employer and hiding them in very unusual places. According to reports, she concealed the stolen cash inside her menstrual pad and also tucked some neatly into a cream container in a bid to avoid detection.
The shocking incident came to light after a video of the discovery surfaced on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The clip, which was shared by user @ChuksEricE, showed the dramatic moment when the house help was confronted and made to reveal the hidden stash of foreign currency. The post contained a detailed narration of the scene and quickly caught the attention of many online users.
In the viral footage, the young woman could be seen nervously attempting to cut open the cream container with a knife as she tried to bring out the money hidden inside it. Moments later, she was asked to remove the money she had also stashed away inside her menstrual pad, and she reluctantly began to pull out the notes one by one. Her actions left many shocked at the extreme lengths she had gone to conceal the stolen funds.
During the tense confrontation, the house help pleaded with her employers, repeatedly saying: “I can explain, please,” in an effort to beg for forgiveness and reduce the anger directed at her. Despite her pleas, those present appeared furious over the theft and filmed the entire confession process as evidence.
The video has since spread widely across social media platforms, sparking massive reactions from Nigerians online. Many expressed disbelief at both the theft and the methods of concealment, while others criticized the employers for recording and posting the footage on the internet. The incident has also stirred conversations about trust issues between employers and domestic staff in the country.
