A Nigerian carpenter has been accused of theft while working abroad after refusing to handle naira currency but stealing $300 on his initial workday and an additional $100 on the following day.
The incident, which garnered attention on a popular social media platform, depicted the man being confronted by some women who caught him in the act.
Accompanying the video was a detailed statement explaining the situation:
“My only weakness is trusting people too much, because how else would I leave a stranger to work in my room unsupervised?”
“When I realized he had stolen $300, I decided not to call him immediately. Instead, I called him the next morning and asked him to come and complete the repair job he was initially contracted for. I needed hard evidence, so I left the money at the same spot. This man foolishly came back 😂😂😂.”
“I let him complete his job, and while he moved to the kitchen to finish up there, I went to check on the money. As I suspected, he had taken another $100 bill. We caught him trying to put it in his pocket, and the rest is history.”
The incident sparked reactions from numerous social media users, who flooded the comments section of the post with their thoughts.
