SSS, Police Investigating Those Behind Viral Shutdown Claim

  • Fintech company OPay is collaborating with the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force to investigate false claims that it is shutting down operations in Nigeria.
  • OPay's Chief Operating Officer, Dotun Adekunle, confirmed the company remains fully operational in Nigeria and denied any plans to cease operations, calling the shutdown message false.
  • OPay has formally engaged regulatory, security, and law enforcement agencies, providing evidence for ongoing investigations, with at least one case already before the court.
  • OPay urges customers to verify information from official sources and cautions against making financial decisions based on unverified social media messages, noting that false messages can cause fear, disrupt business, and undermine financial confidence.
