A Nigerian businesswoman has stirred emotions after sharing a heartbreaking video online, revealing that her trusted staff allegedly diverted more than ₦10 million from her business.

The woman, who runs a fertility-related enterprise identified as @hannabelfertility on TikTok, revealed that she made the heartbreaking discovery after a routine review of her business records.

“I Took Them Like Family”

In the viral clip, the businesswoman lamented how deeply hurt she felt, saying she treated her employees like family.

According to her, she had never defaulted on salaries and often paid them even before the month ended.

“₦10 million so far, that’s what I’ve checked and seen that they’ve squandered from my business despite the fact that I don’t owe salary,” she cried. “I pay even before the end of the month sometimes. At the end of the year, I know what I give my staff — money, items, and clothes. I took them like my sisters and family. They came to my house, slept there, ate there, and yet they did this to me.”

Case Reported to Police

The heartbroken woman disclosed that the matter had been reported to the police, and all staff involved were being questioned.

She added that she had confiscated their phones and was reviewing both their messages and CCTV footage to understand how the act was carried out.

“As we speak now, they’re all in the police station answering questions. I don’t know where to start from. I had to seize all their phones. Let me even go through them and see what has been happening,” she said.

Netizens Reactions

The emotional video drew massive reactions from social media users, many of whom sympathized with the businesswoman.

Some expressed shock at the level of betrayal, while others advised her to restructure her business and ensure tighter monitoring systems going forward.

Despite her pain, the woman maintained that she still believed in hard work and honesty, urging other business owners to be vigilant and avoid excessive trust in employees.

“They want to run me down. Please, I’m begging you people, I don’t know what else to do again,” she said tearfully.
