Paystack has suspended its co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Ezra Olubi, following a public allegation of sexual misconduct involving a subordinate. The company announced that Olubi has been removed from all duties while a formal investigation is underway.
The controversy deepened after a series of decade-old tweets from 2009 to 2013 resurfaced on X. These posts reportedly included sexually explicit remarks about colleagues, references to minors, and comments involving sexualized anime characters.
Paystack said it has established a “fair, transparent and structured” review process guided by internal policies, but declined to offer further comment pending the outcome of the inquiry.
Olubi has not publicly addressed the allegations, and his X account was deactivated on November 13, 2025.
