Our Story
It all began in September 2011, when Olutunji Oluwole employed “Francis” as his cook. Six months later, after a nice dinner, he and his family passed out. Eighteen hours later, they regained consciousness to find that “Francis” had poisoned and robbed them blind.
Several weeks later, Olutunji found out that “Francis” had gained employment in the same estate with another family as “Joshua”, with a completely different identity and an altered employment history.
He had begun poisoning his new employers, aided by the housemaid who had been employed with the family for 4 years.
To prevent this from happening to anyone else, Olutunji Oluwole founded VerifyMe Nigeria Limited to prevent work-related crimes and to apprehend notorious workplace criminals.
