The story of the three Orekoya
boys who were kidnaped by their nanny have engulfed the internet for more than
one week. Also the parents of the boys
stated that the nanny responded to a recruitment advert they placed on OLX, an
online platform. The boys were said to
have been reunited with their parents yesterday.
Read the response from OXL
management regarding the ugly incident.
’This is an
unfortunate situation and our sympathies go out to the victim and their
family. OLX is an online classifieds site that brings buyers and sellers
together to promote trade. We take steps to moderate and review all ads
but we do not participate in the negotiations between buyers and sellers.
Transactions are performed directly between both parties. In all our marketing
campaign, we continuously urge our users to take necessary precautionary checks
when using OLX.
We continue to innovate and improve our
review process with tighter measures that would help to minimize future
occurrence of negative incidents. We also need our users to help us kick out
bad players and ask them to report any dubious activity or user on the site for
immediate action. Our customer support team can be reached at
0700-CALL-OLX (0700-22-55-659) or at support-ng@olx.com.
We sincerely hope that the 3 kids are returned safely to their
loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and we will provide
all help within our capacity to facilitate the quick reunion of the 3 children
with their family.
