FACT-CHECK: Did a Man Catch His Wife and Driver “Knacking” in a Hotel Room?
CLAIM: A viral video widely circulated on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram purportedly shows a man who caught his wife having an affair with their driver in a hotel room.
The footage, which featured another man acting as an investigator or guide, is captioned in another WhatsApp post as follows: “WHO IS TO BE TRUSTED..??? INNALLILLAHI-WA-INNA-ILLAIHI-RAJIUN – PLS. THIS IS A MUST WATCH VIDEO..!!!”
The accompanying commentary expresses shock and emotional distress, with many viewers reacting in similar tones. One viral comment reads: “It’s not enough that he drives the man’s car, he’s also driving his wife?”
The Arabic phrase “Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un” (translated: We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return) is customarily used by Muslims to express shock during moments of tragedy or grief. In this case, it was deployed to underscore the emotional weight of the supposed betrayal.
The video sparked outrage and sympathy across social media, with many users condemning both the alleged wife and the driver, while others expressed scepticism about the authenticity of the footage.
VERIFICATION: To ascertain the authenticity of the video, PRNigeria Fact-Check Desk conducted a forensic investigation using reverse image search tools and frame-by-frame analysis. Our findings show that:
The video was first seen trending on social media in the first week of July 2025.

The man who appears to lead the aggrieved husband into the hotel room is a known content creator with over 10k followers on Instagram and 1.1m followers on Facebook.
Checks by PRNigeria reveal that the clip is part of a scripted skit created by a social media comedian known as Mumin Nuhu, who goes by the screen name “The Honour.”
The entire video is a staged dramatisation, not a real-life incident. The original clip posted on facebook has garnered about a million views, 8.2k shares and 3.3k comments.
The Honour has a pattern of producing emotionally charged relationship-themed skits, often dramatising scenarios involving infidelity and betrayal. His other videos, which follow a similar structure and style, can be seen here, here, and here.
CONCLUSION: PRNigeria concludes that the viral footage does not depict a real-life cheating incident between a wife and her driver. It is a scripted skit designed for entertainment and social media engagement.
VERDICT: False. The video is not real; it is a dramatised skit by a known content creator.
