Paystack suspends co-founder over alleged sexual misconduct

Paystack has suspended its Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Ezra Olubi, following an allegation of sexual misconduct involving a subordinate.

The controversy started on Wednesday after someone who once had a relationship with him published personal complaints online.

The post prompted renewed attention to disturbing tweets Olubi posted between 2009 and 2013, many of which contained sexually suggestive contents involving colleagues and minors.

The resurfacing of the tweets reignited public debate over accountability, personal conduct, and the long-lasting impact of social media activity. 

Olubi has since deactivated his X account.

Some of the resurfaced tweets drew widespread criticism, with one reading: “I judge my female friends by the sound of their pee make. Thanks to the audio in my bathroom.”

Another stated: “Save water. Take a bath with your neighbour’s daughter.”

One of the tweets, posted on May 23, 2011, said: “Monday will be more fun with an ‘a’ in it. Touch a coworker today. Inappropriately.”

According to a report on TechCabal on Friday, the Stripe-owned Nigerian payments company said it had opened a formal probe into the matter.
