A Recap…
Technext reported that Favor Ori came under fire publicly on Twitter after some developers accused him of underpaying them and extorting in some instances.
Responding to the allegations, Favour tweeted that he is sorry for all those he has wronged and will take responsibility for his actions. However, he also mentioned that he is innocent of the fraud allegations.
He also stepped down from his role to allow for an independent investigation.
Calmhill Partners’s tweet indicates that the investigation is already underway and Favour Ori, as well as the developers, will be questioned to establish if the said misdeeds occurred.
Recall that a similar procedure took place in the case of Kendall Ananyi, the CEO of Tizeti Networks when he was accused of sexual harassment.
Already, there are sentiments being expressed about the investigation and how satisfactory the report will be in the face of all the allegations on Twitter.
We will keep you posted.
