Nigerian fintech giant Paystack has terminated the appointment of its co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Ezra Olubi, following allegations of sexual misconduct.
Olubi disclosed the development in a personal blog post over the weekend, stating that the company dismissed him even before concluding its “independent investigation” into the allegations. He added that his legal team is currently reviewing the process that led to his termination.
Paystack had earlier suspended Olubi after a colleague accused him of sexual misconduct. The controversy escalated in mid-November 2025 when a social media post alleging abusive behaviour by Olubi went viral, prompting many users to resurface a series of explicit tweets from earlier in his career.
Olubi insists that the company acted prematurely and maintains that due process was not followed, while Paystack is yet to issue a detailed public statement on the latest development.
