The first red flag is in Their website. In the contact section, there's no phone number. The office address given is No. 6A Embu Street off Aminu Kano, Wuse 2, Abuja.

A friend in Abuja went to check the place out after searching for the address on Street view. It's a residential place with no semblance of corporate activities.
