Are you a woman? Let's start from there because the dynamics can be different based on your gender. What is his level? Your colleague at the same level, your boss or what is his direct impact on your work? Or is he from another division?

If someone is a threat to your life, HR is not human, protect yourself first. HR has only one job to do, protect the company, so don't be naive and leave your destiny to them. That thing you call professional is how they will professionally manage your story if you die there. Before you joined the company, were they interested in your life? One day you will leave that company so think about it well. Your safety is paramount here. What makes you think if you leave the company he won't still stalk you? How much of your personal life does he know? When did he join the company? Before you? Is he a power player in the company?
Same think I was thinking. When it happens all my people will take is “sorry.”

I sure sey this thing get confraternity undertones.

OP is not afraid of the guy. He is just hesitant to deal with him based on sey he no wan loose him job.

I guess the other guy sef know one or two about the identity OP and can't help but look for his trouble as the guy don dey avoid am.

Meanwhile the guy and the boss dem be brothers and that is why he can't really do shit to him even though he knows he is stealing company money.


OP better look for a new job.

Seems you guys have engage in a shady deal before hence you don't want to report to the police 💯....bcuz reporting such issues to the police is not necessarily puting him or you in cell, is to caution him and make him realize anything harmful should not happen to you or else he will be held responsible.. and every one b at peace...
The problem is the cost because I don’t trust Nigerian police when it comes to money.

I would have recommend you to a guy in a Lagos, he would give you on black magic ring, protect yourself when. Threats start coming, infact , the ring won't kill him but any small torches, him muscles will weak and he won't be able to stand up for at least 5 minutes or report to boss while report at police with your boss involved
Please do, I’ll really need it for self defense.

Wow.

If the threats are bordering towards bodily harm, I will suggest you go anywhere alone or be in close proximity with him if you can.

Also, approach the Police and make a report of what is going on. Let them know the steps you have taken. Let it be documented.

And like the boy Scout motto; be prepared.

I don't know why he is doing what he is doing but I know you know why he is doing what he is doing....

Eat your own food, drink your own drink....

Look out for you always......

It could be just plain bullying and intimidation but then it could be more......

You get it. They are both from the same state. So he doesn’t want to act and if I act first, that would give them excuse to take their action.

Try buying pepper spray or something that can inflict harm but not dangerous. If he approaches you next time, you can use that or just keep something closeby Incase. Don’t die because of small money.

Except if it’s a government ministry or something with no clear ethics and HR structure. Since the boss is not responsive and it’s bothering you this much report to HR, Ethics, your boss, etc. Ensure you follow up to get clear actions from such person and make it clear you plan to escalate to the police if you’re not getting responses. Then follow through with reporting to police if no action from organization. But if it’s life-threatening, do not hesitate to report to the police immediately.

Those of you patronising herbalists are the majority problems we have in this country. Why do you think bandits and criminals do what they do? Because they patronise herbalists who boost their confidence.

From giving you a special ring, they will soon ask you to provide human head so they can give you wealth. You guys are just evil...

I need some honest advice on a situation at my workplace. There’s this guy who has been constantly disturbing and harassing me. I’ve tried everything to avoid him—I’ve warned him multiple times, told him the implications of his actions, and I even have evidence of all his disturbances. I’ve even ask for a change of location.

The problem is, despite all my warnings, he recently tried to attack me. I’m really trying to keep things professional and avoid any 'police wahala' or ending up in a cell because of him.
At one point, I even thought about using a weapon just to protect myself if he lunges again, but I know how Nigerian law can be. I don't want to face a criminal case over a nuisance.

How do you guys handle a physical threat at work when you don't want to involve the police?
Disturbing and harassing you about what?

Is he related to the boss

Did he get the you the job

Go report to police, no wahala will arise, they will call both of you and even the company won't know except he says

It's because you give attention. When a superior was always saying insultive words in my presence, I use to switch off my attention when am with him.

As a young guy, he’s picked up a lot of bad habits. You know how it goes—"birds of a feather." I actually had to stop hanging out with him because his circle just isn't doing anything for me.

The guy has even been thinking about stealing to make up for some stuff he lost, and I’ve been trying to talk him out of it. But lately, money has been going missing at work, and people were starting to look at me. I had to go to the boss and explain the whole situation to clear my name. I’ve been trying to keep my distance since then, but he just won't take the hint and keeps coming around.
I wonder why u decided to ommit this part in your explanation earlier.

Continue to mount pressure..involve witnesses

Finally, file a police report
