The complaint details that the bribe was requested to process a refund of N3,310,912, covering shortfalls caused by poorly calculated allowances and discrepancies in currency exchange.
Segun Oluwasanmi, a former employee of Alpha-Beta Consulting Limited, has accused the company’s Head of Human Capital Management, Mrs. Anjola Ige-Amusan, of soliciting and collecting bribes to process travel allowances for staff members who attended an international training program in Egypt.
The matter has been escalated to the Nigeria Police, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Alpha-Beta Consulting, a firm that assists Lagos State in revenue collection, is reportedly owned by President Bola Tinubu.
The allegations, submitted through the Lagos chapter of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), also detail a pattern of alleged professional marginalization and workplace harassment targeting Oluwasanmi during his employment, which spanned from September 2018 to January 7, 2025.
Bribery Allegations
The bribery incident, according to Oluwasanmi, occurred in March 2024 in relation to travel allowances owed to three staff members, including himself, Kingsley Esonu, and Mrs. Oyekemi Oyediran, following a training program in Egypt between November 5 and 12, 2023.
“In March 2024, Mrs. Anjola Ige-Amusan, a staff member of Alpha-Beta Consulting unlawfully demanded and collected a bribe of N150,000 from Mr. Kingsley Esonu on behalf of herself,” the petition filed by CDHR states.
The complaint details that the bribe was requested to process a refund of N3,310,912, covering shortfalls caused by poorly calculated allowances and discrepancies in currency exchange.
Evidence presented by Oluwasanmi in the petition shows that Kingsley Esonu transferred the N150,000 bribe from his GTBank account to Ige-Amusan and shared proof of the transfer in a WhatsApp group titled “Cairo,” created on October 10, 2023.
“He just paid me N1,050,000. I was supposed to collect N1,103,000. Plus N1,103,000. So, he paid me N1,050,000. In fact, it was even 53,000 Naira he deducted,” Oluwasanmi explained, highlighting irregular deductions from his rightful share.
Oluwasanmi further described how Alpha-Beta mishandled their allowances. The HR department reportedly paid them in naira at a rate of N1,000 to the dollar, despite the actual exchange rate being between N1,200 and N1,300.
Additionally, the travel estacode was improperly calculated for six days instead of eight, excluding the days of departure and return.
“Apart from that, the HR lady, Anjola Ige-Amusan, out of gross inexperience and wickedness, she prepared estacode for six days for us instead of eight days. She omitted November 5 when we left and 12 when we came back,” Oluwasanmi recounted.
The petition categorically alleges that these actions constitute bribery and corrupt practices contrary to the Criminal Code Act (Sections 98-99), the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000 (Sections 8-10), and Section 18 of the EFCC Act 2004, which empowers authorities to investigate and prosecute economic and financial crimes.
Alleged Intimidation by Police
Efforts to report the alleged bribery and harassment were reportedly met with obstruction and intimidation.
After submitting petitions to the Lagos Police Command in October 2025, Oluwasanmi alleged that the State Intelligence Department sought to intimidate him, inviting him from Ogun State through a couple described as “soft targets,” who were reportedly harassed and even had the wife’s clothes torn in the process.
The petition states, “Sadly, after the petitions were submitted in October 8, 2025, steps were however taken by the State Intelligence Department of the Lagos Command to intimidate the complainant Comrade Segun Oluwasanmi as they invited him to the Command in Lagos from Ogun State where he was based through a soft target/couple who were unprofessionally lured to the command from Ogun State and subsequently harassed, intimidated, gotten the wife's clothe torn to get the details of Comrade Segun; after which they sent an invitation dated 22/10/2025 to Comrade Segun through the couple, requesting him to appear on Friday, 24th October, 2025.”
“The couple however claimed that their lawyer asked them to return the letter because it was wrong to have sent them with the letter,” the petition adds.
Multiple attempts to follow up on the petitions were also met with resistance. On November 4, 2025, a written follow-up letter could not be submitted as the Personal Assistant (PA) to the Commissioner of Police failed to appear.
A subsequent visit on November 10 revealed what the petition described as a “disdain look” and bias from the PA, prompting doubts that justice would be served.
“The PA to the Commissioner of Police put a disdain look and responded in a manner that showed bias and that they were not ready or willing to act,” the petition adds.
Manipulation and Misuse of Police Process
Oluwasanmi said that he was deliberately roped into a case unrelated to him, based on a petition filed by Alpha-Beta on June 25, 2025, against “Concerned Staff” who had anonymously written letters to stakeholders of the company in May 2025.
“It has nothing to do with Comrade Segun Oluwasanmi in the first place. The petition further mentioned that the writer was already known as the name was stated there. It was a deliberate attempt to silence Comrade Segun Oluwasanmi,” the petition submitted to the Assistant Inspector General of Police reads.
Calls for Investigation
The CDHR, representing Oluwasanmi, has called on the AIG to launch a full investigation into the conduct of Mrs. Ige-Amusan and prosecute offenders in accordance with the law to serve as a deterrent.
“In the light of the foregoing, we respectfully urge your Commission to commence a full investigation into the conduct of Mrs. Anjola Ige-Amusan in relation to the unlawful demand and collection of bribes. Prosecute the offender(s) in accordance with the law to serve as a deterrent against bribery and corruption in both public and private sectors,” the petition states.
The allegations paint a picture of systemic issues within Alpha-Beta Consulting, highlighting concerns of workplace harassment, financial impropriety, and interference with law enforcement.
Oluwasanmi’s petition is backed by documentary evidence including bank statements, WhatsApp records, and official correspondence.
