The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership has urged the police to investigate the sexual misconduct allegations levelled against Paystack co-founder, Ezra Olubi, following his suspension by the company over sexual misconduct allegations.<\/p>\n
There was public outrage on Friday after the Stripe-owned Nigerian payments company announced Olubi\u2019s suspension over alleged sexual misconduct involving a subordinate.<\/p>\n
Saturday PUNCH gathered that the controversy began on Wednesday after a woman who once had a relationship with Olubi went online to air personal grievances against him.<\/p>\n
The post drew attention to a series of old tweets allegedly linked to Olubi, dating back to 2009 and 2013, which users said contained sexually suggestive remarks involving colleagues and minors.<\/p>\n
The posts stirred fresh arguments about accountability, personal conduct, and how old social-media activity can haunt public figures. Olubi has now deactivated his X account.<\/p>\n
Some of the resurfaced tweets drew widespread criticism, with one reading: \u201cI judge my female friends by the sound of their pee make. Thanks to the audio in my bathroom,\u201d while another stated: \u201cSave water. Take a bath with your neighbour\u2019s daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the tweets, posted on May 23, 2011, read: \u201cMonday will be more fun with an \u2018a\u2019 in it. Touch a coworker today. Inappropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n
TechCabal reported on Friday that the company said it had opened a formal probe into the matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cPaystack is aware of the allegations involving our co-founder, Ezra Olubi. We take matters of this nature extremely seriously. Effective immediately, Ezra has been suspended from all duties and responsibilities pending the outcome of a formal investigation,\u201d the company said in a confirmation statement made to TechCabal.<\/p>\n
The firm added that it would not be offering further comments while the process is ongoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOut of respect for the individuals involved and to protect the integrity of the process, we will not be commenting further until the investigation is complete,\u201d Paystack said.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Saturday PUNCH, CACOL Executive Director, Debo Adeniran, said the allegations, going by the outrage they have generated on social media, raise serious moral and criminal concerns.<\/p>\n
Adeniran described the situation as \u201cmoral corruption,\u201d insisting that anyone holding an executive position must be \u201cabove board in all his or her conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said while consensual relationships between adults might not constitute a criminal offence, the narrative changes entirely if minors are involved. Punch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
