A Nigerian businessman, Abdulsalam, who operates a filling station in Ilorin, Kwara State, has shared his deep disappointment after discovering that one of his managers defrauded him of N6.7 million.
Abdulsalam, who is active on Twitter under the handle @GenAbdulsalam, expressed his frustration over the situation, emphasizing that he had always treated his staff like family by ensuring their salaries were paid on time and even providing additional allowances.
Despite his efforts to create a supportive work environment, Abdulsalam was devastated when he found out that his trusted manager had stolen from him.
The manager has since been arrested and is currently in detention.
In a further blow, Abdulsalam revealed that another one of his staff members resigned in August 2024 and is now running for a councilor position in the upcoming local government elections in Kwara State.
Expressing his heartbreak on Twitter, Abdulsalam wrote, “My filling station manager defrauded me N6.7 million … One of them resigned last month, he’s contesting as councilor in this month’s local government election. I’m just weak.”
The incident has sparked discussions on social media about trust, loyalty, and the challenges faced by business owners in maintaining ethical relationships with their employees.
