Global direct-selling company QNET has moved to distance itself from 46 individuals recently arrested in Ogun state, warning that the growing misuse of established international brands by fraudulent operators poses a major challenge for consumer protection and law enforcement in Nigeria.
The company’s response comes after reports that dozens of suspects arrested during a joint security operation allegedly claimed links to QNET, raising fresh concerns about the tactics used by illegal recruitment and investment schemes to gain public trust.
In a statement issued on Friday, QNET said it had no business relationship, affiliation or authorised connection with any of the individuals arrested, stressing that they were not acting on behalf of the company.
