Fintech company OPay has said it is working with the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the false information circulating on social media claiming that the company is shutting down its operations in Nigeria.

“While the DSS and the Nigeria police, among the relevant law enforcement agencies, are currently and intensively investigating this matter, we are fully cooperating with the ongoing investigations being conducted and have provided the necessary evidence to identify those responsible for it.
“Opay is taking action against those responsible for creating and circulating this harmful information. We will pursue them and will ensure that the law is fully enforced.
