A man claiming to be a manager at Davis Hotel, Bodija, Ibadan, has sparked widespread reactions online after allegedly confessing to stealing millions of naira from the hotel over a period of several years.

In a post circulating on X (formerly Twitter), the man claimed he diverted hotel funds for about five years and allegedly stole a total of N17.5 million between 2025 and 2026 alone.

According to the alleged confession, the proceeds of the theft were shared among several members of staff, with one senior employee reportedly receiving the largest share. The man further claimed that he used part of the money to build a house.

The post has generated intense debate on social media, with many users expressing disbelief that such an alleged scheme could continue for years without detection. Others cited the incident as a reminder of the need for stronger financial oversight and accountability in workplaces.

As of the time of this report, Davis Hotel had not issued a public statement regarding the alleged confession, and the claims contained in the social media post had not been independently verified. There was also no official confirmation of any ongoing police investigation into the matter.

The allegations remain those of the individual who made the purported confession and should not be construed as established facts pending independent verification and any official investigation.
