In the clip she posted on Monday, August 24, 2026, Tolani Baj recounted how she hired a young woman named Precious Akiyemi Deborah through a recruiting agency at the end of April, bringing her on as an executive assistant to help run her DJ Academy.
The former BBNaija contestant noted that her employee's duties included supervising students, sourcing refreshments, and recording behind-the-scenes content.
How Tolani Baj discovered the alleged theft
Tolani Baj said early warning signs appeared within weeks, when the recruiting agency flagged incomplete background checks and reference forms.
Despite this, she said her fondness for Precious and the assistant's apparent work ethic led her to overlook the issue.
Tolani Baj claimed that she later noticed her employee consistently inflating the cost of items purchased for the academy, though she did not raise alarm at the time.
The situation escalated roughly two weeks before the academy launched, when the former reality show star claimed to have transferred over ₦6 million (GH¢49,644) to Precious to buy four DJ controllers from the Alaba market.
Receipts and regular updates were allegedly sent, and everything appeared aboveboard, until Tolani Baj's lead instructor contacted her during graduation week to ask where the controllers were.
Precious had allegedly removed three of the controllers from the academy, claiming she had been instructed to do so for an upgrade.
When confronted on a group call with two instructors on July 29, Precious allegedly denied taking anything, initially then admitted the controllers were at her home, citing illness and lack of transport money as reasons she had not returned them.
Tolani Baj terminated her employment on the spot.
The disc jockey and Nollywood actress claimed that things took a more alarming turn when Precious sent a photo of herself receiving a hospital drip, promising to return the equipment once discharged.
She alleged that staff sent to her address found no one home, and her messages soon stopped delivering altogether.
Tolani Baj claimed that she later discovered that on the very same evening of the confrontation, Precious had contacted another DJ seeking to rent controllers, referencing the same models she had allegedly stolen.
The store owner where the controllers were originally purchased allegedly also confirmed that Precious had reached out in June attempting to sell three controllers back to him.
Tolani Baj said police were contacted and a petition filed and that two individuals who allegedly purchased the stolen controllers were arrested, and one controller has since been recovered.
However, Precious had gone on the run and was yet to be arrested, prompting the former BBNaija star to appeal to the public for help in tracing her whereabouts.
