A Nigerian family has been left in shock after discovering that the female househelp they recently hired was actually a man in disguise. The surprising discovery was captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media.
The incident was shared in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter), where a man is seen confronting the supposed housemaid and instructing them to remove their clothes in order to verify their identity.
In the footage, the househelp initially appears reluctant but eventually complies. The confrontation confirms that the individual had falsely presented himself as a woman in order to gain employment within the household.
As the camera rolls, the family appears visibly stunned as more details about the impersonator begin to surface. According to background voices in the clip, the man had been working closely with female members of the household—raising serious safety and privacy concerns.
The disturbing footage quickly spread online, drawing a flood of comments and reactions from netizens who expressed concern about household security, background checks, and the implications of such impersonation.
