Global direct selling company QNET has distanced itself from individuals arrested in Ogun State, stating that it has no known relationship with the suspects or their activities.
The company said the individuals were not authorised to represent QNET and insisted that it had no business dealings or formal association with them.
According to media reports, 46 individuals were apprehended during a joint security operation and allegedly claimed affiliation with QNET.
The company strongly rejected the suggestion that these individuals were authorised representatives or were acting on behalf of QNET.
Like many international brands, QNET has periodically encountered instances where unauthorised individuals misuse the company’s name, products or business model to promote fraudulent schemes or make false promises of employment, migration opportunities or financial gain
Commenting on the matter, Biram Fall, regional general manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, said:
“QNET does not support, facilitate, or promote cross-border migration as a means of participating in its business. We do not offer employment opportunities, migration pathways, relocation arrangements, or visa sponsorships. Any individual presenting QNET as a route to overseas opportunities is acting fraudulently and without authorisation.”
QNET operates under strict global compliance standards and maintains clear non-negotiable principles, including:
- No cross-border recruitment or migration-related inducement
- Zero tolerance for misrepresentation of QNET, its products, or business model
- No acceptance of illegal activities, fraud, or immigration violations
- Strict adherence to applicable laws and regulations in all markets
- Immediate disciplinary action and legal escalation against individuals who violate these standards
QNET said it welcomes the efforts of the Nigerian security agencies, including the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and Nigeria Immigration Service, for their efforts in addressing illegal activities and protecting communities from potential exploitation.
The company added that the team will continue working with regulators, law enforcement agencies and community stakeholders to combat misinformation, fraud and the misuse of its brand.
“QNET believes that individuals who exploit its brand to deceive others must be identified and held accountable through appropriate legal processes.
“Members of the public are encouraged to verify any information relating to QNET, its products, or business model through official channels: Website here | Compliance Hotline (WhatsApp): +233 2566 30005 and Email: network.integrity@qnet.net.
“QNET remains committed to transparency, consumer protection, ethical business practices, and responsible entrepreneurship”, the statement reads.
