Lagos billionaire embroiled in menstrual pad scandal; his girlfriend leaves the country.

By Emma Nnadozie

A scandal has erupted in Lagos involving a prominent billionaire from Southern Nigeria, whose name has not been released. The businessman is alleged to have been found with a used sanitary pad belonging to his partner, hidden in his pocket.

Sources say the wealthy man had been in a relationship with the woman for more than seven years, during which he reportedly funded her extravagant lifestyle, financed trips, and purchased a house for her in Lagos.

The controversy began earlier this year when the businessman, a key figure in the country’s oil and gas sector, visited the woman’s residence in the upscale Ikoyi area while she was on her monthly period.

After the man left the house, the woman slept through the night and later discovered that the sanitary pad she had discarded in the bathroom bin the previous evening had vanished. She contacted the billionaire and demanded he return to the house immediately.

When confronted about the missing pad, the businessman denied taking it. However, the woman reportedly searched his bag and found the soiled pad hidden in one of his pockets. She said the circumstances led her to believe the incident was connected to ritual practices and she questioned the businessman, whose explanation she found unsatisfactory.

Distressed by the discovery, the woman fled the house and locked it. Insiders claim that after the incident, the businessman attempted to reclaim the property he had previously gifted her by forging ownership documents.

Evidence from the woman’s CCTV camera app showed that an associate of the oil mogul, along with other accomplices, unlawfully entered her apartment and removed personal belongings, including a Range Rover, a 2024 Lexus RX350, $50,000, N10 million in cash, and jewelry worth more than 20,000 pounds.

She also alleges that the deeds of assignment and other documents related to the property purchase were fraudulently forged and re‑issued to bear the oil mogul’s name after he allegedly bribed officials to register them with the Federal Land Registry.

The woman reports that her mother and siblings have faced threats, harassment, and intimidation that could constitute a breach of peace. She says she fears for her safety, claiming that influence, money, and power are being used against her and that her life is under serious threat.

Sources say the case is now under investigation by the Special Fraud Unit in Ikoyi, Lagos, while the businessman is believed to have gone into hiding to avoid public scrutiny.

The woman has fled abroad and has engaged lawyers to write to the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police Force in Ikoyi, seeking an investigation and justice. It is reported that the Inspector General of Police, Olatuni Disu, was briefed by the Commissioner of Police in charge of the unit, Eloho Edwin Okpoziakpo, and directed a discreet investigation to ensure justice for the complainant, underscoring police readiness to serve all citizens.
