Fraud: Global Firm Closes Branch In Nigeria Over Extortion by Ify05: 7:25pm On Aug 23, 2019
A Multi-National company has announced the closure of its branch in Nigeria following what the company described as extortion of the company by contractors.
According to Jenna Bourgeois, chairman of Dynamics Intelligence, a global company operating in the United States, Canada, and Nigeria, the closure became necessary as the company was unable to cope with fraudulent collaboration between employees and contractors

He announced the closure on his LinkedIn profile on Thursday shortly the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a list of wanted Nigerians who had perpetrated a massive online fraud.

According to the profile of the company, it engages in technology solutions partners with Microsoft and Amazon to create custom cloud-based productivity software.

The software built upon the Microsoft Azure, PowerApps, PowerBI, Flow, and Dynamics 365 technologies is focused on healthcare, retail and government sectors.

Bourgeois said the closure of the company branch in Nigeria is as a result of the continued extortion by its employees and contractors, saying the company can no longer function in an environment of distrust.

He announced: “Effective immediately, we will be closing our operations in Nigeria. Over the last year, we have faced numerous examples of employees and contractors extorting the company,” he wrote.

“While we kept giving Nigerians a chance to gain skills and employment, we cannot run a company when we can’t trust the people who work for us.

“Any company interested in conducting business in Nigeria can reach out to us to learn how to avoid being scammed by technical resources.”
Mr Bourgeois also advised other organisations interested in outsourcing operations in Nigeria to seek Indian-owned companies.

“It is a kick in our face that we spent so much time trying to give Nigerians the benefit of the doubt to have this happen,” he lamented.

“Customers who wish to outsource, are well-advised to seek an Indian-owned company for the best results.”
