The Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has arrested and detained Comrade Segun Oluwasanmi, a whistleblower and former employee of Alpha-Beta Consulting Limited, who accused the company of corruption and tax evasion.
According to media reports, the ex-Alpha-Beta employee was taken into custody on January 14, 2026, at the State Intelligence Department (SID) Command Headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos. He was arraigned before the Ogba Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.
The Command stated that his alleged offence was cyberbullying against Alpha-Beta. However, his relatives maintain that he was actually arrested for exposing corruption within the company. The arrest was carried out by officers at the Nigeria Police Force Command Headquarters in Ikeja.
Oluwasanmi’s arrest follows a series of petitions and public allegations he made against Alpha-Beta Consulting, a private firm contracted by the Lagos State Government for tax and revenue collection.
The allegations were submitted to the police, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), with copies sent to the Federal and Lagos State Ministries of Finance through the Lagos State chapter of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR).
