It’s been two years since Agropartnerships, an agricultural investment platform powered by Farmforte, a company owned by Osayi Osazuwa and Uyi Osayimwense, disappeared with investors’ funds.

Serah Olawale, an investor, recently told FIJ that she was yet to get her over N200,000 capital invested in the company’s sweet potato plan in October 2021, and the promised return.

“I invested in January 2021 and I was supposed to get my investment and ROI on it by October 27,” said Olawale.

“On October 27, I sent an email to the organisation and got a reply. They told me that they were going through some challenges and needed to reconsider how they made their payouts.”

She noted that the company promised to pay her by February, the following year (2022), but failed to fulfil the promise. Instead, multiple attempts to reach them ended up being futile.

FIJ had reported how Adetoun Adekanmbi, a Lagos State-based medical doctor, lost close to N600,000 after investing in the company.

Lawal Seyi (not real name), another investor, told FIJ how he lost out after investing N96,000 in the firm’s Poultry 02 plan in 2001, and N250,000 in its Cashew Value Chain in January 2021.

David Oyekan (not real name), who also had three investment portfolios worth over a million naira with Agropartnerships, is yet to receive payment.

FIJ reported in April 2022 how the subsidiary company stole billions of naira through several agricultural investment schemes they offered to the general public.

The company’s office was one of those sealed, according to a statement made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), on March 11 for engaging in fund management-related investment activities without proper registration.

This prompted a response from the organisation, reassuring its investors that their funds were safe and efforts were being made to resolve the issue.

FIJ called Agropartnerships’ phone number but got no response. A message sent to the company on social media has also not been responded to.
