GlobaCom In Hot Water Over Alleged Threats To Missing Employee’s Family ~Vibrant Nifemi

 

Mr. Adetona Olaoluwa is a dedicated Globacom employee who served the company extensively across multiple states. Reports indicate he worked as a Rollout Manager for Globacom Telecommunications.

According to family sources, Mr. Olaoluwa was posted to Owerri, Imo State, to execute a project for Globacom alongside an Indian and an Ivorian colleague

Mr. Olaoluwa, whose duties involved site acquisition for Globacom, was no stranger to assignments in the Eastern region. However, on the day in question, he was sent to Umuaka village in Orlu Local Government Area alongside two foreign team members

When Mr. Olaoluwa’s wife tried reaching him, her initial calls went straight through to an unreachable line. A subsequent call was answered by an unknown voice who insulted her without issuing a ransom demand. Confused, she contacted his office only to be told her husband had been kidnapped while his two colleagues narrowly escaped

According to his wife, Globacom urged her to keep the incident quiet, promising to lead efforts to secure his release. She further claims the company later informed her that a N2 million ransom had been paid, yet her husband was never freed

According to the family, Globacom urged the wife to falsely claim her husband worked as a driver instead of a Rollout Manager. They allege the company provided no reason for this request

As weeks passed, the matter reached the Imo State Police Command. Despite multiple meetings and assurances from the Commissioner of Police that efforts were ongoing, the wife grew increasingly skeptical of their explanations ultimately threatening to go to the media to demand action

Following her warning to go public, the family claims the wife was targeted with threatening calls from hidden numbers. They allege that anyone who tried to step in and champion the missing staffer's cause received similar intimidation from unidentified callers

The wife subsequently sought the assistance of broadcaster Oriyomi Hamzat to publicize her husband's disappearance. According to her, Hamzat held a closed-door meeting with Globacom management without including her, after which he asked what compensation or resolution she wanted from the telecom giant

I will not go further into Oriyomi Hamzat’s involvement in this matter for now, When these efforts failed to yield results, Mr. Olaoluwa’s wife escalated the matter to the Inspector-General of Police. However, family members allege that despite official acknowledgment of the petition, no meaningful investigation followed, and they remained subject to ongoing threats warning them to keep quiet

According to the family, many early supporters of the case gradually pulled back over time. Seeking legal backing, they retained the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Oladapo to handle the matter. When interviewed, SAN Oladapo confirmed that multiple petitions were dispatched to Globacom, though the company failed to respond and explanation that ultimately left the family dissatisfied

Family sources confirm that two petitions were dispatched to Globacom and another to the Inspector-General of Police. While all three documents were formally acknowledged, no concrete action followed. Mr. Adetona Olaoluwa has been missing since last year

Approximately five months ago, Globacom representatives reportedly visited his wife to request her bank details, after which regular salary payments for Mr. Olaoluwa began arriving in her account. However, his wife maintained that she does not want financial compensation, demanding instead that her husband be found and safely returned

The family maintains that earlier supporters abandoned the cause after being compromised or intimidated. Consequently, they have brought the matter to the VNV (Vibrant Nifemi Vibrant) platform, trusting its commitment to uncover the truth regardless of threats

A year after Mr. Adetona Olaoluwa vanished, official answers remain nonexistent. His family alleges a pattern of intimidation and compromise: advocates trying to help were met with anonymous threats, while others walked away from the case immediately after meeting with Globacom

The family is appealing to the general public and human rights advocates to shine a spotlight on this case, urging Globacom and relevant security agencies to account for Mr. Adetona Olaoluwa’s disappearance

Despite alleged efforts to silence key parties and keep this story out of the press, we stand firm. We respectfully demand that Globacom Chairman Chief Mike Adenuga, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Nigeria Police Force, and the DSS order a thorough, uncompromised investigation into the ongoing disappearance of Mr. Adetona Olaoluwa.

How Globacom Silenced a Family While Their Engineer Vanished ...​Wife Cries Out After Months of Broken Promises, Media Betrayal, and Police Inaction

 

A devastating story of corporate neglect and institutional silence has come to light regarding Mr. Olaoluwa Adetona, an engineer for Nigerian telecommunications giant Globacom. Sent on an official field assignment on May 6th 2025, alongside two colleagues, the team was ambushed by kidnappers While his two coworkers managed to escape, Mr. Adetona was taken into captivity

​Despite the payment of a N1,000,000 ransom, the kidnappers failed to release him. To protect its corporate image, Globacom allegedly instructed Mr. Adetona’s wife to keep quiet, promising to resolve the kidnapping privately behind closed doors which never come to fulfillment 

​Seeking help, Mrs. Adetona approached Oriyomi Hamzat, CEO of Agidigbo FM, to expose the company’s inaction. However, after meeting privately with Globacom representatives without the wife present, Hamzat reportedly advised her to "name her price" and ask for financial compensation instead of her husband's return

Refusing money and pleading only for her husband's safe return, she was assured the matter would be handled. Yet, for seven months, calls to the contact number provided went ignored

​Despite a formal petition submitted by the law firm Akin Orimolade & Co. to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) on May 6, 2026, no progress has been made

Desperate for answers, Mrs. Adetona recently reached out to social media activist VNV, who delivered a heartbreaking assessment: after so many months in captivity with no corporate intervention, it is increasingly unlikely Mr. Adetona is still alive.

​Mrs. Adetona continues to demand justice, accountability, and the truth about her husband's fate from Globacom and the authorities.

Award-Winning Creative and The Hook Co-Founder Toheeb Dele-Balogun ...Launches Highly Anticipated New Literary Work, Algodrithm, the Sacred Book

LAGOS, NIGERIA  Renowned Nigerian creative professional, advertising strategist, and 

entrepreneur Toheeb Dele-Balogun has officially announced the launch of his latest literary 

work, Algodrithm, the Sacred Book. Building on his reputation for genre-defying narratives, 

Dele-Balogun's newest release promises to challenge contemporary perspectives and engage 

modern readers with sharp, thought-provoking commentary on the human experience in the 

digital age.

Algodrithm, the Sacred Book is a satirical collection of micro-fiction that reimagines social 

media as a god of its own making one that creates, judges, rewards, and punishes in its 

own image. Structured like scripture and narrated in first-person liturgical language, the book 

follows a fictional deity, Algodrithm, from creation through the reshaping of humanity in His 

image, before unfolding into dozens of sharp, satirical stories of the people living under His 

dominion  stories that draw deeply from the texture of Nigerian social, political, and 

religious life.

As Co-Founder and Chief Impact Director of The Hook Creative Agency, one of Nigeria's 

fastest-growing and most successful creative firms, Dele-Balogun has spent over a decade 

engineering impactful communication solutions for corporate giants and political landscapes 

alike. With Algodrithm, he steps outside the corporate sphere to offer a profound piece of art 

tailored to an era defined by fast-paced digital absorption.

This release follows the success of his previous multi-modal literary project, Don't Tell 

These Stories, which earned critical acclaim and endorsement from cultural figures including 

Chief Nike Davies-Okundaye of the Nike Art Gallery, Don Jazzy, Dbanj among others. 

Through The Burnt Stories Project (@theburntstories), positioned as the foremost platform 

celebrating writers and creative writing in Nigeria, Dele-Balogun continues his personal 

crusade to revive literature for a "distracted generation"  writing punchy, profound 

narratives designed to grip readers with short attention spans.

Rather than a conventional book launch, Algodrithm will debut as an immersive live 

experience combining dramatized performances, an interactive exhibition, and a series of 

rituals drawn directly from the book's mythology, inviting attendees to witness the satire 

rather than simply read it.

Beyond his corporate and literary work, Dele-Balogun is deeply committed to societal 

transformation. He is the visionary behind the Awapikin Initiative, a social impact 

foundation dedicated to child education reform and holistic youth development across 

Nigeria and Africa, building on his earlier charitable groundwork. A portion of proceeds from 

Algodrithm's premium book tiers will go directly toward supporting Awapikin's work.

Algodrithm, the Sacred Book represents the intersection of Dele-Balogun's diverse 

experiences blending the strategic precision of an advertising executive, the deep empathy of a social reformer, and the raw instinct of a master storyteller

Algodrithm, the Savred book will be launched on the 17th of October in an unforgettable performance at J Randle Center, Onikan, Lagos

Pre-order dates for Algodrithm, the Sacred Book will be announced soon. For media 

inquiries, review copies, or interview requests with Toheeb Dele-Balogun, please contact the

ASUU Allegedly Orders Total, Indefinite Strike in LASU, LASUED, and LASUSTECH

 

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has declared a total and indefinite strike across the three Lagos State-owned universities over the non-implementation of the 2025 Federal Government and ASUU agreement by the state government.

The decision was taken on Tuesday at separate congresses of ASUU branches at Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo, Lagos State University of Education, LASUED, Oto/Ijanikin, and Lagos State University of Science and Technology, LASUSTECH, Ikorodu.

The declaration followed the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the Lagos State Government on August 31, 2026, demanding the domestication and implementation of the December 2025 ASUU-FG agreement in the state-owned institutions.

In a joint statement titled, “Expiration of Ultimatum: ASUU Declares Total, Indefinite Strike Across Lagos State-owned Universities,” the unions said the industrial action took effect immediately.

The statement was signed by ASUU-LASU Coordinator, Dr. Olusegun Babalola, Acting ASUU-LASUED Coordinator, Comrade Grace Olayemi, and ASUU-LASUSTECH Coordinator, Comrade Murisiku Onigemo.

According to the unions, the decision became necessary after the 14-day deadline expired without a satisfactory resolution or concrete commitment from the state government.

The unions said they had also issued a final warning on September 10, stressing that “silence is no longer an option,” but the September 13 deadline equally passed without the government initiating dialogue.

ASUU said its major demand is the full domestication and implementation of the December 2025 ASUU-FGN agreement in all Lagos State-owned universities, including the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance, CATA, and critical welfare provisions for serving and retired academic staff.

The union said it had exercised restraint and consistently pursued dialogue, arguing that the responsibility for the disruption rests with the Lagos State Government over what it described as continued inaction.

It also disclosed that the industrial action had the backing of the ASUU national leadership, covering the series of engagements and formal communications sent to university managements, governing councils and the Visitor before the ultimatum was issued.

ASUU further urged the Lagos State Government to follow the example of other state governors who, according to the union, had moved swiftly to resolve similar issues in their respective universities.

The union warned that the strike would remain indefinite until meaningful engagement leads to a satisfactory resolution and the state government signs, domesticates and fully implements the applicable provisions of the 2025 agreement.

While expressing regret over the implications of the action for the academic calendar and the wider university community, ASUU appealed to students, parents and other stakeholders for their understanding and support.

The union also stressed that the action was not targeted at the managements of the three universities, but was aimed at compelling the state government to address the outstanding issues.

Lagos State is among the 20 states identified by ASUU national where state governments have yet to implement the 2025 Federal Government and ASUU agreement.
