After trusting the platform, Oluwafisayo started investing in phases with the hope of recouping his investments.

On September 29, 2020, he invested N600,000 in ReQuid’s rice farm. By December 30, 2020, the investment had grown and payments were made, but with N480,000 outstanding, according to a document made available to FIJ by Festus Ogun, Oluwafisayo’s lawyer.
Still in the same company, Oluwafisayo invested N810,000 under a poultry scheme called Poultry 23. He made the investment on March 09, 2021, and as of June 22, it had matured and N105,300 interest had accrued. The following day, he invested another N900,000 in the same scheme. The interest was N117,000.
On March 30, 2021, a total sum of N600,000 was invested in the same company, but under ‘Soyabean’ scheme. The expected interest was N90,000 as of August 30, 2021.
Hitherto, a sum of N8,914, the expected return on the Poultry 23 investment, cannot be accounted for.

All the above investments were in vain as investment capital and returns have not been paid.
FIJ placed several calls to the contact available on reQuid website, but they were not answered. As of press time, an enquiry sent to the company has not been responded to.
