About a week after insider trading accusation, sexual harassment allegation and deceit in establishment of Flutterwave were made against him, Olugbenga |

Why didn’t Agboola step aside to eliminate his influence as CEO and co-founder on the outcome of the firm’s investigation? But he failed to address the accusation that he used Access Bank resources to favour Flutterwave during client meeting. Insider trading allegations: In his response to the claim, Agboola was said to have benefited directly from the sale of Flutterwave shares by employees, having reportedly compelled them to sell to his investment vehicle. Note that during the period he was acting as Access Bank rep, he had informed the public that he has resigned from the lender as of 2016, but one of the bank’s document leaked by the publication showed that Agboola was still working for the financial institution as of 2017/2018 – he ignored this allegation. Agboola denied some of the allegations against him in a letter written to the employees of Flutterwave, stating that some of his decisions were backed by the board, while he had been absolved from others, but failed to address some of the cogent allegations. Access Bank involvement in Flutterwave creation: He noted that his “former boss” was aware of his business, having helped to seal deals with “enterprise clients.”, but there’s more that Agboola swept under the carpet with that statement.
