Nigerian Businessman catches apprentice after he stole money to buy 4 phones for his girlfriend who’s the cashier at his shop.
The man revealed that the young apprentice, who had been working diligently in his shop for years, betrayed his trust by stealing a large sum of money. According to the businessman, the apprentice used the stolen funds to lavish his girlfriend, who also worked in the same shop as a cashier, by buying her four brand new smartphones as gifts.
The businessman disclosed that the apprentice, instead of focusing on learning and building his future, was busy spending money recklessly to impress his girlfriend. He explained that he had trusted the boy over the years and never imagined he would betray him in such a manner.
According to the businessman, the boy stole money from the shop without anyone's knowledge and proceeded to purchase the four new phones, which were later discovered to have cost about N1.2M in total. The shocking revelation came when he caught them in the act, with the lady still holding the packs of the phones in her hands during the confrontation.
In the video that has gone viral, the man could be seen interrogating both the apprentice and the girl. The atmosphere was tense as the businessman angrily questioned them, highlighting how deeply hurt and disappointed he felt. The girl stood silently, holding the phone boxes, seemingly ashamed and unable to defend herself.
The businessman expressed his anger, stating that he would deduct the amount spent on the phones, estimated at N1.2M, from the apprentice's agreed settlement amount of N1M, which was supposed to be given to him after completing his service period. The apprentice, visibly shaken and in tears, pleaded for forgiveness and reminded the businessman that he had already served him faithfully for 7 years.
Despite his emotional pleas, the businessman stood firm on his decision, warning others present that loyalty and honesty are far more valuable than temporary pleasures or gifts meant to impress.
