It all began in September 2011, when Olutunji Oluwole employed “Francis” as his cook. “Francis” played the role of a dutiful cook and quietly blended in. But six months later, after a nice dinner, Olutunji and his family suddenly passed out and remained unconscious for 18 hours. When they finally regained consciousness, they found out that “Francis” had poisoned them and robbed them blind.
Several weeks later, Olutunji discovered that “Francis” had been employed by another family in the same estate, this time as ‘Joshua’, with a completely different identity and a fictitious employment history to match. True to his criminal nature, ‘Joshua’ had also begun to poison his new employers and had even secured assistance from another domestic worker.
To prevent this from happening to anyone else, Olutunji founded VerifyMe.
