Reported by Mustapha Labake Omowumi (Journalist)| Sele Media Africa.

Nigerian influencer and fashion entrepreneur Ama Reginald has publicly accused a store cleaner she employed about a month ago of stealing clothing items from her boutique, a claim that has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms.

Allegation Surfaces Online
Ama Reginald disclosed the incident through her social media channels, where she alleged that the staff member removed several outfits from the boutique without authorisation. According to the influencer, the suspected losses were discovered during an internal review of inventory.

While she did not initially reveal the identity of the staff member, Reginald stated that the situation was uncovered after discrepancies in stock records prompted further checks.

Calls for Accountability
In her public statement, the influencer emphasised the importance of trust in business operations, particularly within Nigeria’s fast-growing fashion retail space. She also used the incident to caution other small business owners about strengthening internal controls and staff vetting processes.

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official confirmation from law enforcement authorities regarding a formal complaint or investigation tied to the allegation.

Legal and Ethical Context
Legal experts note that theft allegations shared on public platforms can carry reputational and legal implications, underscoring the need for due process. The accused individual is presumed innocent unless proven otherwise through appropriate legal channels.

Industry observers say the incident highlights broader challenges faced by boutique owners across Africa, including inventory management, staff supervision, and internal security in small retail businesses.

Sele Media Africa will monitor the situation for verified updates, including any formal legal proceedings or official responses.
