Paystack, an online payment solutions company, has suspended its co-founder Ezra Olubi over allegations that border on sexual misconduct.
The allegations were further boosted by the resurfacing of disturbing past tweets.
Mr Olubi had posted several controversial tweets dating as far back as 2010, including sexually explicit jokes and comments that resurfaced online.
A woman who previously had a relationship with Olubi had published her personal complaints online on Wednesday, triggering renewed attention and widespread circulation of his old, controversial tweets.
According to TechCabal, Paystack has issued a statement announcing Olubi’s suspension from his duties and responsibilities, pending the investigation’s outcome.
“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.”
“Out 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,” Paystack said.
She also alleged that the founder was sexually involved with a junior colleague of his.
Maki claimed she later became concerned about Olubi’s pattern of control, emotional detachment, and alleged mistreatment of domestic workers, describing his behaviour as manipulative, demeaning, and “psychotic.”
According to her, the Babcock University graduate pretended to be gay to lure feminists into his circle and slowly break the feminism out of them, through depressing humiliation rituals, using them as sex objects and keeping them in check with money
