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

Boring,

It's not even making sense the trash you capping here

NwaAmaikpe:




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 thereby breaching her privacy, 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 they were sent by her with a malicious intent to blackmail the school or that she has a dissociative indentity disorder which would further cast aspersions on her sanity as well as her credibility.

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 the preek of 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.

Those husbands till today see their wives as victims of unjust treatment in the school they served in not knowing that they, the husbands, are the actual victims.

DoggoneDogg:
Your wife doesn't lock her phone?
She must be very stupid.

lagosrd:


You just called that extortion? What kind of human being are you. You obviously can't be a married person. If the contacts were deleted, it may not mean much but sending messages to my contacts to know my relationship with them is a red line my friend . Report to this court funmi in lagos or go to any court and make a criminal case or direct court complain and see how the hopeless person will rot in jail.

Stop glorifying these bandits called proprietor or proprietress of a thing. They are modern slave traders.

Tatashi:
Yes! Her personal space was invaded without her permission and this is simply a cause to Sue! Get hold of witnesses who can stand to testify like the contacts that were questioned by the school.She should strike up a confrontational conversation with the said HM and get the evidence recorded or screen munched. This is cash out season for your family. Congratulations! They are mad!

Prettychild:

Getting evidence is not an issue, there is this trick that lawyers do but I can’t tell you. He should proceed to court

Why collect the phone of someone that is leaving your service the same day under the pretence that you don't want distraction.

Let her be sure of the time in between the phone was collected and the time the messages were sent to her contacts and also know the assignment she was given at that point in time. That's enough alibi and evidence. Cross examination will do the rest. She will surely fall because of hatred. Who knows others might come out as witness against her

nedekid:

Ok.
But I think he should just let it go.
I started litigation with hard evidence 7 years ago, Its only ending of last year we completed trial. Even the sum I sued for is rather not worth it anymore as naira has lost value over the years. As at when I sued ₦1.5m was equivalent to $10,000.
Now ₦5.8m is same $10k!
No be juju be that?
Economy do me "photo"!
Aside the Lump sum I paid lawyers, aside the agreement on percentage on winning litigation, I have spent atleast 1.5m on lawyer appearance "otaining", fuel, my time, stress etc.
This my own na l case with hard evidence ohh.
Well if the fellow can afford it he should try the judicial system, but I am sure when lawyer nacks him bill just to write notification letter, his head will reset.
