QNET, a global direct selling company, has denied links with individuals arrested in Ogun State, stating categorically that the company has no known affiliation, business relationship, or authorised connection with the individuals involved.
According to media reports, 46 individuals were apprehended during a joint security operation and allegedly claimed affiliation with QNET.
In a release, the company strongly rejected any suggestion that these individuals were authorised representatives or were acting on behalf of QNET.
It revealed that like many international brands, QNET has periodically encountered instances where unauthorised individuals misuse the company’s name, products or business model to promote fraudulent schemes or make false promises of employment, migration opportunities or financial gain.
Commenting on the matter, Biram Fall, Regional General Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, said: “QNET does not support, facilitate, or promote cross-border migration as a means of participating in its business. We do not offer employment opportunities, migration pathways, relocation arrangements, or visa sponsorships. Any individual presenting QNET as a route to overseas opportunities is acting fraudulently and without authorisation.”
The release further stated that QNET operates under strict global compliance standards and maintains clear non-negotiable principles, including: No cross-border recruitment or migration-related inducement; Zero tolerance for misrepresentation of QNET, its products, or business model; No acceptance of illegal activities, fraud, or immigration violations; Strict adherence to applicable laws and regulations in all markets and immediate disciplinary action and legal escalation against individuals who violate these standards
QNET welcomes the efforts of the Nigerian security agencies, including the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and Nigeria Immigration Service, for their efforts in addressing illegal activities and protecting communities from potential exploitation.
The release also disclosed that the company would continue working with regulators, law enforcement agencies and community stakeholders to combat misinformation, fraud and the misuse of its brand, adding that QNET believes that individuals who exploit its brand to deceive others must be identified and held accountable through appropriate legal processes.
