The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has removed Mr. Wale Tinubu and Mr. Mofe Boyo, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) and the Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer (DGCEO) of Oando Plc over series allegations of criminality and securities fraud.<\/div>\n
\n

They have also been barred from being directors of public companies for five years.<\/p>\n

SEC announced its decision in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the receipt of two petitions by the Commission in 2017, investigations were conducted into the activities of Oando Plc (a company listed on the Nigerian and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges). Certain infractions of Securities and other relevant laws were observed. The Commission further engaged Deloitte & Touche to conduct a Forensic Audit of the activities of Oando Plc.<\/p>\n

The general public is hereby notified of the conclusion of the investigations of Oando Plc. The findings from the report revealed serious infractions such as false disclosures, market abuses, misstatements in financial statements, internal control failures, and corporate governance lapses stemming from poor board oversight, irregular approval of directors\u2019 remuneration, unjustified disbursements to directors and management of the company, related party transactions not conducted at arm\u2019s length, amongst others.<\/p>\n

As part of measures to address these violations, the Commission has directed as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 1. Resignation of the affected Board members of Oando Plc,<\/li>\n
  2. 2. The convening of an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting on or before July 1, 2019, to appoint new directors,<\/li>\n
  3. 3. Payment of monetary penalties by the company and affected individuals and directors,<\/li>\n
  4. 4. Refund of improperly disbursed remuneration by the affected Board members to the company,<\/li>\n
  5. 5. Bar of the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) and the Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer (DGCEO) of Oando Plc from being directors of public companies for a period of five (5) years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As required under Section 304 of the Investments and Securities Act, (ISA) 2007, the Commission would refer all issues with possible criminality to the appropriate criminal prosecuting authorities. In addition, other aspects of the findings would be referred to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).<\/p>\n

    The Commission is confident that with the implementation of the above directives and introduction of some remedial measures, such unwholesome practices by public companies would be significantly reduced.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, in line with the Federal Government\u2019s resolve to build strong institutions, Boards of public companies are enjoined to properly perform their fiduciary duties as required under extant securities laws.<\/p>\n

    The Commission, as the apex regulator of the Nigerian capital market, maintains its zero tolerance to market infractions, and reiterates its commitment to ensuring the fairness, integrity, efficiency and transparency of the securities market, thereby strengthening investor protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
