When Ezra Olubi, the former chief technology officer and co-founder of Nigerian fintech giant Paystack, was booted from the company last year, he expressed that the decision had flouted due process and mentioned his legal team would take appropriate steps.
Some type of legal action was thus anticipated, and legal action has now occurred, alright, just not one many might have expected.
In something of a surprising move, Olubi has initiated legal action against prominent investigative journalist David Hundeyin, alleging a series of social media posts amounted to defamation and caused severe reputational harm.
