A Lagos woman has petitioned the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU) alleging that a prominent oil and gas mogul, who happens to be her husband of over seven years, allegedly stole her used menstrual pad, burglarised her Ikoyi apartment, and carted away valuables worth millions of naira.
According to her, her husband is now threatening her life and that of her family.
The woman, who has not been named, claims to be the lawful owner of a four-bedroom apartment with a two-room servant’s quarters designated as Apartment B702, No. 19 Glover Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
She says the property, including all furnishings and personal effects within it, was purchased in her name by her partner, a highly influential figure in the oil and gas sector who hails from Delta State and divides his time between Banana Island in Lagos and Warri.
“I have lived in the apartment since 2024, I possess all necessary ownership documents in my name, and I have consistently paid all service charges through Prestigious Homes, the company managing the property,” she said.
According to her, trouble began in January 2026, when the oil mogul spent the night at her apartment.
She says she had discarded a used menstrual pad in her bathroom waste bin the previous night, only to wake up and find it missing.
“I called him and confronted him immediately after he left that morning,” she said. “He initially denied having anything to do with the disappearance of the pad, but after a prolonged confrontation, I found it in his pocket myself.”
She says she believes the incident was connected to ritual purposes. “I questioned him directly. His explanation was completely unsatisfactory,” she stated.
Shaken by the encounter, the woman says she fled and secured herself in the property. However, days later, she says she observed through her CCTV camera app that a man identified as Mr Victor, described as an ally of the oil mogul, entered the apartment with other accomplices and removed her personal belongings.
“They took everything,” she said. Among the items allegedly stolen were a Range Rover, a 2024 Lexus RX350, approximately $50,000 and, ₦10 million in cash, and jewellery valued at over £20,000.
The woman further alleges that the original deed of assignment and related property documents prepared in her name by Prestigious Homes were fraudulently forged and reissued to reflect the oil mogul’s name, and that he has since used bribery to register the property in his name with the Federal Land Registry.
“This is a man who used money and influence to take back a property he gave me, and to cover his tracks,” she alleged.
She also claims that her mother and a sibling have been subjected to threats, harassment and intimidation. “My life is currently under serious threat,” she said. “Influence, money and power are being used against me, and I am scared.”
The matter has been reported to and is currently being investigated by the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU) in Lagos. Efforts to reach the oil mogul for a response were unsuccessful at the time of this report. #Securitynewsalert.com
