Angry Investors Storm Lekki Office Of Investment Firm After Failing To Pay ‘Mouth Watering’ Returns
The office of an investment company, Quintessential Investment Company located at Osapa London area of Lekki was stormed by distraught investors who had invested fortunes but could not get returns as promised.
The firm whose operations are shrouded in secrecy only disclosed in a video posted on its website that monies invested formed a ‘ working capital for partners’ who are ‘trading in alternative assets’ .
It promised investors 25 percent interest monthly on sum invested and additional 5 percent on referrals.
CompleteNewsNg.com learnt that trouble started when the company failed to pay investors whose investments reached maturity in the first week of January, 2021.
Affected investors who confided in this medium said that the managers of the investment company attributed the delay in payments to ‘banking issues’.
In a video exclusively obtained by Complete News on Monday, investors who are mostly young Nigerians were seen agitating at the main entrance of the company as men in security outfits prevented them from accessing officials to vent their concerns.
When reached by Complete News on the allegations of fraud, the CEO of the embattled investment firm, Joshua Kayode in a text message denied allegation of fraud insisting that the investment scheme was genuine.
“A fraud attending to people at the office?, A fraud Answering people’s questions on social media? A fraud with active customer care lines (just opened)? QUINTESSENTIAL IS NOT A FRAUD.
“We only have delayed payments, that’s all and all is being resolved. We never intended such inconveniences to people. Thank you for reaching out. Thanks”, Kayode replied to Complete News enquiry.
Further questions on if Nigeria’s Security Exchange Commission, SEC approved the firm’s operations and how sustainable is 25 percent mouth watering returns are yet to be replied as at 2:30pm when the story was filed.

Some Nigerians are just pessimistic.
Quintessential is not a fraud!
I don’t know who this admin is but it’s not all story you cover. Don’t dig into details that will blow up and hurt hundreds of people. The company claim they’ve banking issues, give them time to sort it before causing unnecessary panic and attention.
Quintessential is here to stay, and this report is absolutely not correct about the company
The people that did this just delayed their payments with their own hands. The company is trying to avoid prying eyes. People that don’t want you to have money before will now have reasons to stop you. Nigerians are their own enemies. God bless Quintessentials for taking me out of debts. For the record I still got paid yesterday. They are only having delays that’s all.
I am yet to be paid by Quintessential since January 1st till now. I need my money back please
Quintessential is not a fraud!!
Quintessential is not a fraud,it’s just a delay in payment,just be patient with them and keep texting, please
Hey, CompleteNews
Kindly note the firm has been operating for over 12months now and investors and due investors has always been paid. But now bank issues has stopped the smooth operation of this great firm but many keep carrying rumors. If Quintessential were to be a fraud firm there should be different statements acclaiming the issue on ground and not one word.
Thanks
Anyone who tries to tarnish the 8mage of this company will receive shame. Quintessential investment company is legit and she has come to stay. Payment issues will be resolved soonest and all payment operations will come back to normal. God is involved. Don’t tarnish the image of this company because of beef or envy. Be warned!!!
Tis well
Laz Laz the editor in chief of this Blog and the reporters will later take a Q.
I dnt even know what to say about quintessential, all I know is they have lost their integrity. A memo was released towards the ending of Jan, I think around 18th or so stating investors should be patient and wait for extra 7 working days from their due date, which was total BS by the way its been about 14 working days now and still haven’t been paid.
I’ve paid 200k since January 5,2021 up till now I’m still expecting my return i.e 25% even my capital this time around bcoz I have lost trust in them,I messaged them no response,am tired of this investment
I invested 200k last December and up till now, nothing from them. The frustrating part is that they wont pick calls, and when the novice at the customercare line picks, they’d tell you “your account manager will contact you via whatsapp”
Their act managers on whatsapp are the worst, they wont respond to your messages.
Just get your mind off the funds you invested, the company is a fraud. The new seven working days policy for payment is well over 14 working days for me. Don’t be surprised when the Kayode Joshua jets out of the country to evade arrest.
Believe me whee I tell you this (because I’m a victim too), QUINTESSENTIAL INVESTMENT COMPANY is a HUGE FRAUD.
This will be my for time to invest in there company,20k since Jan 20 and yet to be payed back ,it’s unfair,if quinsential refuse to return my money ,anybody that is responsible for it will suffer for it o and there generation because that money is my sweet…….
