A former Nidful Security employee has accused the company's founder, Isaac Emmanuel, of unpaid salaries and unprofessional conduct, drawing public attention and raising questions about employment practices at the company.

Delayed Contracts

The issues started in April when former employee Akinkunmi Oyewole was hired by Nidful Security without a formal contract. The contract was only sent on May 8, creating uncertainty and a lack of legal protection.

"I started working on the project on the night of April 30, but the contract wasn't signed until May 8," Oyewole said.

Payment Irregularities and Issues

Oyewole stated that his first salary for May was delayed by ten days and was incomplete, with inexplicable deductions of ₦50,000. Subsequent payments were either delayed or partially made despite evidence of work.

"The payment for May was supposed to be on May 31, but I received it only on June 10 after arguing with the company lawyer," Oyewole explained.

Previous Allegations

This is not the first time such accusations have been made against Isaac Emmanuel. At his previous company, Groomlog Limited, employees faced similar issues with delayed salaries and were dismissed without pay for completed work.

"In 2022, I worked at his previous company, and we faced the same issue of not getting paid for our work," Oyewole noted.

As of now, Isaac Emmanuel has not publicly responded to the allegations. The situation raises significant concerns about employment practices at Nidful Security and similar startups, especially in the context of remote work.
