A strange and disturbing scandal has reportedly thrown parts of Lagos’ elite business circle into confusion.
The controversy involves a well-known oil businessman and allegations that have continued to spark reactions online.
The businessman, whose identity has not been officially released, is reportedly being investigated after claims emerged involving an alleged ritual scare, property dispute, and missing valuables.
According to reports by Vanguard, the businessman had allegedly maintained a long-term relationship with a woman living in Ikoyi for over seven years.
During that period, he was said to have funded her expensive lifestyle, luxury trips, and even purchased a property for her in Lagos.
However, the relationship reportedly took a dramatic turn earlier this year after an unusual discovery inside the woman’s apartment. Sources claimed the businessman visited the residence while the woman was on her menstrual cycle.
Shortly after he left the apartment, the woman allegedly noticed that a used sanitary pad she had disposed of inside her bathroom bin had disappeared.
According to sources close to the matter, she contacted the businessman and questioned him over the missing item. Although he allegedly denied taking it, the woman reportedly searched his belongings afterward.
The situation reportedly became more shocking when the used item was allegedly found hidden inside one of his pockets. Consequently, the woman reportedly became terrified and feared possible ritual intentions.
Reports also claimed the woman immediately locked up the apartment and fled the location for safety reasons. Meanwhile, the controversy reportedly escalated into a major legal and property dispute afterward.
According to the allegations, the businessman later attempted to recover properties he had earlier gifted the woman during their relationship. The woman reportedly accused him of forging ownership papers connected to the house.
In addition, she alleged that some associates linked to the businessman forcefully entered her residence and removed several expensive valuables. Items reportedly taken included a Range Rover, a 2024 Lexus RX350, cash, jewelry, and foreign currency.
Sources further claimed that documents initially registered in the woman’s name were allegedly altered through compromised officials. However, these allegations have not yet been publicly confirmed by authorities.
This has reportedly reached the Special Fraud Unit in Ikoyi, where investigations are said to be ongoing. Meanwhile, reports claimed the businessman has remained out of public view since the allegations surfaced.
The woman and her family also reportedly faced intimidation and threats following the incident. Consequently, sources said she later travelled abroad while pursuing legal action.
Although the full details remain unclear, the unusual nature of the claims has continued to attract widespread public attention.
