DHIL Crime Alert Network Investors Protest Over Non-Payment Of Returns On Investment
More than 300 people who invested with DHIL Crime Alert Security Network on Tuesday protested over failure of the company to pay 30% interest return on investment capital as agreed on.
The investors who spoke through the coordinator of the protest, Mr. Abel Adebayo said they had made their concerns known to the relevant stakeholders and had given ample time to the people concerned to address and resolved the problem but resulted to marching out for a peaceful protest first before going radical with the company if nothing is done before stipulated time.

He said the protesters would be staging its violent protest immediately after the given 7 days lapsed.

When asked steps the protesters had took before going on protest, Mr. Adedayo said, the investors had met with the company heads several times but their body reactions shows they are not ready to pay.
” We had held several meetings with ambassador Amos Olaniyan, we had agreed on a round table but he is not yielding to our suggestions, he is not respecting our agreement, he is taking us for a fool, and that is why you are seeing us here today, there are aged people among us, our fathers and mothers are here suffering because of their hard earned money, some people invested their gratuity with Crime Alert of Amos Olaniyan and are not getting paid for it, they are not earning salaries again yes having children and family to cater for, so what did you want us to do except coming out like this to let people know what we are going through, this is not a violent protest, it is a warning protest to let them hear our voice.

In the company reaction when contacted on phone, Mrs. Taiwo, a female customer care representative for DHIL Crime Alert Network, denied the allegation put against the company that they are scammer, said the company has been in the business for years and has been paying investors as at when due but due to the pandemic, the paying process is very slow explained that, the company has always updating the investors and gave the assurance that all the investors will be paid.
Those that protested are investors, I know what they are requesting for, before the lock down we have been making their payment up to time, we do pay them every 30 working days before the lockdown, even after the lockdown we are still being able to pay them, we still hopeful things will get better, not that we are not making payment but our payment is slow, those investors that are complaining, we have been talking to them, assuring them that definitely they will he paid, we just want them to be patient with us for some time.
Some of them are complaining that, we are not picking calls, no not like that, now everybody want to complain, we do attend to a customer after the other, when they call-in, the line might be busy but they wouldn’t understand, will start complains we don’t picked calls. We are not scammers as they said, many of the protesters had collected returns more than 9 times, we are not saying we will not pay again but at the moment the paying process is slow. Mrs. Taiwo stated.
