Lady shares emotional story involving security man
According to the lady, she had bought the fuel for personal use, but since there was a constant electricity supply and she was about to travel, she decided to leave it in the care of her security man.
In a post shared via her TikTok handle, @thereal_faith01, she explained that she instructed him to either keep the fuel safe or sell it to any of her neighbors who might need it for ₦15,000.
However, she didn’t receive any update or call about a sale and assumed the fuel was still intact. But upon returning home, she met an unexpected situation.
In her TikTok video, she recounted her experience:
“What would you do if you found out your security mixed your fuel with water? Before I travelled, I bought 20 liters of fuel and didn’t use any of it because there was light all through. I told my security to watch out for neighbors with generators in case they wanted to buy fuel. I asked him to sell mine for ₦15,000 since that’s the value for 20 liters, and he agreed."
"Since I didn’t hear from him, I assumed the fuel was intact. When I got back, I noticed the fuel wasn’t where it was supposed to be. When I asked him, he said he kept it inside his room.”
She went on to explain how she discovered what he had done.
“Yesterday, I called someone to service my generator, and he asked me to bring the fuel. When I called the security to get it, he wasn’t around, so I went to his post and picked it up myself. As the technician poured the fuel into the generator, we noticed water inside. We poured it into a white bowl, and it was full of water. When I confronted him, he acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about.”

After sharing the story, she revealed the punishment she decided to give him.
Her words:
“I decided I won’t pay him next month’s salary.”

The story of the woman got the attention of Legit.ng, and we reached out to a counselor for insight on the story and how to handle such situations.
Mr. Ogwuche Godwin, a therapist and counselor, provided insight and advice.
On what psychological factors might lead an employee to act dishonestly, even when entrusted with property, he said:
"Well, a lot of things can push an employee to act dishonestly, even when you trust them. Sometimes it’s greed; that mindset of ‘let me gain something extra even if it’s not mine.’ For some people, once they feel nobody is watching, they start thinking they can get away with it."
"Another factor is entitlement. Some workers feel, ‘My boss has more than me, so taking small things is not a big deal.’ That kind of thinking makes them justify wrong behavior."
"There’s also financial pressure. When someone is struggling, they may allow desperation to cloud their judgment. But even at that, it still doesn’t excuse dishonesty."
"And lastly, some people simply lack personal values and internal discipline. If someone is not trained to respect boundaries or other people’s property, they will always look for shortcuts, even when you trust them with something important."
"So, in many cases, the act itself reveals what is happening inside the person: their mindset, their character, and their sense of responsibility."
Asking if there are common patterns in people who betray trust in domestic or workplace settings, he shared:
"Yes, there are common patterns. People who betray trust at home or in the workplace often show certain behaviors long before the main incident happens. One of the biggest patterns is a lack of accountability; they never take full responsibility for their actions. There is always an excuse, always someone else to blame."
"Another pattern is inconsistency. Today they act loyal, tomorrow they act suspicious. Their words and actions don’t match. You can’t really predict them."
"You also see entitlement: that feeling of ‘I deserve this,’ even when it’s not theirs. Once someone feels they are owed something, crossing boundaries becomes easy for them."
"And finally, people who betray trust often have a habit of taking small things lightly. It always starts small, a small lie, a small favor they didn’t return, a small item they ‘borrowed’ and never replaced. Those little signs usually lead to bigger issues later."
"So yes, the signs are there. Trust is rarely broken suddenly; it builds up from repeated behavior that was ignored."
On how to identify potential risks before entrusting someone with valuable items, he stated:
"First of all, employers need to pay attention to a person’s character, not just their job title. Before you hand someone something valuable, watch how they handle small responsibilities. If someone is careless with little things, they will definitely mishandle bigger things."
"Another thing is consistency. A trustworthy person behaves the same way whether you are around or not. If someone only behaves well when you’re watching, that’s already a red flag."
"Also, listen to how they talk. People who gossip, complain too much, or always blame others often struggle with responsibility. Their mindset usually shows through their words."
"And finally, do a little background check, not necessarily something complicated, just simple questions about their previous work, reliability, and honesty."
"Trust shouldn’t be given blindly. It should be earned through behavior, attitude, and consistency. That’s how employers can reduce risk."
He spoke on how someone should deal with feelings of betrayal when an employee acts dishonestly, he shared:
"When an employee betrays your trust, it hurts. It’s not just about the item they stole or damaged; it’s the feeling that someone you relied on took advantage of you. The first step is to acknowledge the hurt; don’t pretend it didn’t affect you. Betrayal is emotional."
"After that, take a moment to calm down before reacting. When you respond from anger, you may make decisions you’ll later regret. Look at the situation clearly, handle it firmly, but don’t let emotion control you."
"Then, set clear consequences. If the person must be disciplined, removed, or made to repay the loss, do it. It’s not wickedness; it’s protecting yourself and teaching accountability."
"Finally, use the experience to reset boundaries. Learn from it, adjust your trust level, and be wiser next time. Betrayal is painful, but it should make you stronger, not bitter."
Finally, he shared practical advice to people to protect their property and maintain trust with employees:
"The first thing I always tell people is this: trust, but don’t trust blindly. Put small systems in place to protect your property. For example, keep records, label items, and make sure there is always some level of accountability."
"Secondly, communicate clearly with your employees. Let them know your expectations from day one. When people understand boundaries, they are less likely to cross them."
"Another practical step is to start small. Before giving someone something valuable, test them with smaller responsibilities. If they handle the small things well, then you can trust them with bigger things."
"Also, make your environment open. When employees know there is transparency, CCTV, proper documentation, or regular checks, it reduces the temptation to act dishonestly."
"And finally, treat your employees with respect. Sometimes when people feel valued, they are more careful with your property. But respect doesn’t replace caution. So balance it: be kind, but be wise."
"That’s how you maintain trust and still protect yourself."
