Good morning Nairaland


I'm going to be as explicit as possible and I need professional legal counsel/inputs to the issue stated below. (Pardon all blunders biko)

My wife recently got fed up with her place of work and decided to tender her resignation letter. She happens to be in the teaching profession and we all know what goes on in the private teaching schools (Most anyways).

On Friday the 4th of March which was supposed to be her final day at the school, the school's HM instructed her phone to put her phone on her desk (HM's) on the pretense that it was an open day and didn't want her distracted. She did exactly that and the day went just fine, after which, she dropped all the school's materials/properties with her and left.
On getting home, she went through her phone and discovered that her WhatsApp messages and conversations had been deleted, text messages deleted, all her contacts deleted, and all chats on her phone read. As if that wasn't enough, a few of her contacts called her to tell her they received messages from the school asking what her relationship was with them? Imagine!!!

Moreover, I think it is also good I state the fact that she and the HM haven't been best of friends due to an event that happened sometimes back between both parties. But for her to pick up her phone and go through it, and not just that, but also deleting her chats and wiping off contacts, deleting photos that has to do with the school, that's to the extreme haba!!!

Is there any legal ground to pursue this case or is it me just being emotional hurt that my wife's privacy has been trampled upon and I need to act. What should be my next point of action?

Thanks

There are more to this than what your wife told you.
Let me ask:
Do you know the content of your wife's phone. (What you have seen by yourself) recently.
Has her phone been on lock?.
Bros, just be calming down.

What do you hope to achieve?
To get the lost information back or to extort the school?

Now, nowhere in your story did you mention that your wife saw someone operating her device, technically that puts you on a lower ground legally because it's all assumptions.

Phones can factory reset themselves when the limit of wrong password input has been reached.
It could be this.

But,

You have evidence of messages that didn't originate from her to her contacts. But that is no proof either.
A good lawyer could pin those messages on your wife, claiming she has a dissociative indentity disorder which would further cast aspersions on her sanity.

So,

As long as your wife does not have nudes of you or herself on the phone or any other incriminating file, you should not be bothered.

If she does have nudes or other vital information she wants back, I could help you retrieve those lost information.

But,

By default, I do not trust women.
I'd advice you not to.
Do not excavate a graveyard except you are hunting for skeletons.

Apparently, your wife is a threat to the HM who does not want her taking advantage of connections she garnered in the course of working for her.

Just let sleeping dogs lie.
So you do not go and find out that a rich parent is the reason behind your wife and her HMs' squabbles.

I'm not saying that teachers are as wayward as nurses, I'm just saying I know someone who is a big benefactor in his kids' school; the story of his goodwill and philanthropy brought the Proprietress and most of his kids' teachers to his bed.

The proprietress found out she was was sharing his preek with the same people she was paying salaries and it brought about squabbles amongst the teachers and most of them just like your wife, tendered resignation letters but never told their husbands the true reason behind their leaving.

Don't type because your at liberty to do so, it may be your turn one day.

Didn't you read where he said text messages were sent ?

Privacy invasion.

Irreparable damage due to intentional data deletion.

Psychological and emotional shock.

Personality sabotage.

Libel.

Obtaining under false pretense...so many more.

Just talk to a lawyer and sue, so many infractions. Arrest her first then charge the matter to court. You have excess upper hand. Seek damages of N200m. Your 2022 done sure. cheesy

If you want to punish her, get a lawyer to petition your zonal command of police and have men from there arrest her make she pay block take bail herself first. If she stays in police cell for 1 night, her sense go correct.

Whichever way, make sure you arrest her first.

Kindly call the boss and ensure you get evidence that he or she deleted the contacts first(by tricking him or her). You need to prove it that the stuffs were deleted by them. You can record your conversation with the boss ,both audio and video(displaying the number of the person on your phone screen) .You need an incontrovertible evidence to NAIL them.

I'll advice u not to dive into any issue pertaining to two women like that.

This will help you live long on earth.

If d boss was a man, better. I'd have asked u to dive in and behave as u like.


But u see a case of two women? Pls abstain.
Try and talk to her boss and hear from her own side of d story.

Ur wife is definitely hiding 98% of d real details.


I repeat, never dive in to women affairs Like that.

Your wife may decide to sue d boss, then u back her up.
But NEVER be d one to make that decision


Sadly, I wasted majority of my childhood age listening to the thousand lies of mum after she divorced dad.

Dad is occultic
Dad is wicked
Dad doesn't contribute anything.

Like 10 Years later, they reunited and I finally got to hear from dads side of d story.

Mum lied.
Chronic liar.
99% lies.

Never trust a woman or believe what they say with all ur heart so that ur days may be long on earth. Genesis 37: 14 - 15

What do you hope to achieve?
To get the lost information back or to extort the school?

Now, nowhere in your story did you mention that your wife saw someone operating her device, technically that puts you on a lower ground legally because it's all assumptions.

Phones can factory reset themselves when the limit of wrong password input has been reached.
It could be this.

But,

You have evidence of messages that didn't originate from her to her contacts. But that is no proof either.
A good lawyer could pin those messages on your wife, claiming she has a dissociative indentity disorder which would further cast aspersions on her sanity.

So,

As long as your wife does not have nudes of you or herself on the phone or any other incriminating file, you should not be bothered.

If she does have nudes or other vital information she wants back, I could help you retrieve those lost information.

But,

By default, I do not trust women.
I'd advice you not to.
Do not excavate a graveyard except you are hunting for skeletons.

Apparently, your wife is a threat to the HM who does not want her taking advantage of connections she garnered in the course of working for her.

Just let sleeping dogs lie.
So you do not go and find out that a rich parent is the reason behind your wife and her HMs' squabbles.

I'm not saying that teachers are as wayward as nurses, I'm just saying I know someone who is a big benefactor in his kids' school; the story of his goodwill and philanthropy brought the Proprietress and most of his kids' teachers to his bed.

The proprietress found out she was was sharing his preek with the same people she was paying salaries and it brought about squabbles amongst the teachers and most of them just like your wife, tendered resignation letters but never told their husbands the true reason behind their leaving.


For d fact that she didn't see d HM deletes those files n indeed d informations from d wife's phone doesn't mean she can't successfully sue d HM n indeed d school. Have u heard of circumstantial evidence n or evidence of last seen?

The phone isn't d private property of d school and wasn't part of d school properties she needed 2 handover.

It's even a crime 2 access someone wife's phone without her consent and indeed without court order 2 so do. Listen n listen very well, if that nonsense comeup with me, i will sue d hell out of d randy HM.

Good morning Nairaland


I'm going to be as explicit as possible and I need professional legal counsel/inputs to the issue stated below. (Pardon all blunders biko)

My wife recently got fed up with her place of work and decided to tender her resignation letter. She happens to be in the teaching profession and we all know what goes on in the private teaching schools (Most anyways).

On Friday the 4th of March which was supposed to be her final day at the school, the school's HM instructed her phone to put her phone on her desk (HM's) on the pretense that it was an open day and didn't want her distracted. She did exactly that and the day went just fine, after which, she dropped all the school's materials/properties with her and left.
On getting home, she went through her phone and discovered that her WhatsApp messages and conversations had been deleted, text messages deleted, all her contacts deleted, and all chats on her phone read. As if that wasn't enough, a few of her contacts called her to tell her they received messages from the school asking what her relationship was with them? Imagine!!!

Moreover, I think it is also good I state the fact that she and the HM haven't been best of friends due to an event that happened sometimes back between both parties. But for her to pick up her phone and go through it, and not just that, but also deleting her chats and wiping off contacts, deleting photos that has to do with the school, that's to the extreme haba!!!

Is there any legal ground to pursue this case or is it me just being emotional hurt that my wife's privacy has been trampled upon and I need to act. What should be my next point of action?

Thanks

Let your wife politely ask her HM if she was the one that deleted all the messages and contacts if the HM said yes let her politely ask her the reason she deleted those messages and contacts too. The responses of the HM will determine whether your wife has a case or not.

NB

She should ask these questions with her voice recorder hidden in her body or wallet.
