Fintech company OPay is cooperating with the Department of State Services (DSS) and Nigeria Police Force to investigate false information circulating on social media that claims the company is shutting down its operations in Nigeria, according to OPay's Chief Legal Counsel Akinfolabi Rokosu. Rokosu stated that the company has provided evidence to help identify those responsible for spreading the misleading information.
OPay clarified that it remains fully operational and has no plans to shut down its Nigerian business, despite a viral notice falsely claiming that the company would suspend operations from September 1, 2026. The company urged customers to verify information from official channels only and warned against making financial decisions based on unverified social media posts.
