Tension is rising in Onitsha’s drug market after a trader reportedly sent his apprentice packing upon discovering N72 million in his bank account. The boy, who has two years left before settlement, claimed the money came from side hustles. However, as Snow-White reports, the furious boss has allegedly refused to settle him and demanded N20 million in return.
My friend’s brother who is supposed to complete his apprenticeship (boy-boy) in Onitsha open drugs market in 2 yrs time was sent home by his boss “oga” after he saw large amount of money in his account .
Their boss heard the story of how an apprentice k!lled his boss when he discovered the apprentice had 5million naira in his account . He decided to check his boy’s own and discovered my friend’s brother has 72million naira in his account
The boy had served him for 4yrs with 2 yrs remaining before settlement and he’s wondering how he was able to have such amount of money. The boy said the money is from side hustles and runs he used to coordinate. He is furious and said people have been telling him how the boy used to shut down in night clubs and eateries but he never believed cos he was a good boy.
News around town is that the boy bought iPhone 17 air and opened a salon for his girlfriend. His boss is so furious and said he won’t settle him, won’t involve police but he should leave his shop immediately and is also demanding the boy send back 20million and keep 52million for himself.
Do this apprentice make this much from runs ? What do you think of the boss’s actions ?
