Seasoned Nigerian media practitioner, Adeola Agoro, has petitioned several law enforcement and regulatory agencies over what she described as alleged harassment, intimidation, cyberstalking, extortion and privacy violations by an agent purportedly acting on behalf of Future Cash App/Nature Lending Ltd.
In a public petition dated August 20, 2026, Agoro called for urgent intervention by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
She alleged that the controversy began when an agent using the aliases “Kunle Sola” and “Kanyinsola” contacted her over a loan allegedly obtained by one Faith Akanbi Ajayi, insisting that she settle the debt despite, according to her, having no contractual relationship with the borrower and never serving as a guarantor.
Agoro said she attempted to resolve the misunderstanding by connecting the agent directly with Faith and her husband during a call, but alleged that the lender’s representative continued to threaten and intimidate her.
According to the petitioner, the agent allegedly told her he was unconcerned about the facts and boasted that she “couldn’t do anything about it.”
She further alleged that he threatened to damage her reputation and circulate defamatory materials to people in her personal network unless money was paid.
A particularly disturbing allegation in the petition concerns an obituary graphic purportedly created using Agoro’s WhatsApp display picture.
She alleged that the agent downloaded a photograph from her WhatsApp profile featuring her sister, Wemimo Tosin Allen, and used it to create a fake “In Loving Memory” obituary bearing Agoro’s name.
“Both my sister and I are alive and well,” she stated in the petition, describing the alleged action as a serious violation of her privacy, dignity and personal reputation.
Agoro, who said she had spent about 30 years building her personal and professional reputation, alleged that the incident amounted to cyberstalking, unlawful data processing, criminal extortion and violations of fundamental human rights.
She specifically urged the relevant authorities to investigate and, where appropriate, prosecute the individual behind the phone line she identified in the petition, alleging that the person was responsible for cyberstalking, criminal defamation and extortion.
Beyond seeking action against the alleged agent, Agoro called for regulatory sanctions against Future Cash App/Nature Lending Ltd if investigations establish wrongdoing.
She urged the authorities to examine the company’s alleged debt-collection practices and the purported acquisition and use of private contact information.
She also requested that any unlawfully acquired contacts, images and other personal data linked to her phone line be permanently deleted and that the company issue what she described as an “unreserved public apology.”
Agoro further appealed for stronger enforcement against digital lenders allegedly using intimidation, psychological pressure and false death announcements as debt-recovery tactics.
According to her petition, recordings of calls, chat transcripts, phone numbers and the alleged defamatory graphics have been preserved and submitted as evidence to support her complaint.
The allegations contained in the petition have not been independently established, and it was not immediately clear whether Future Cash App/Nature Lending Ltd or the individual identified as “Kunle Sola/Kanyinsola” had responded to the accusations.
The case, however, raises fresh concerns about the methods employed by some digital lending operators and debt-recovery agents, particularly where disputed debts allegedly result in threats, public humiliation, misuse of personal information or pressure on individuals who claim not to be parties to the underlying loan agreements.
