Staff at Alpha-Beta Consulting LLP have raised alarms over a hostile work environment involving the alleged demotion of the Head of Human Capital and the use of voice-recording CCTV to suppress whistleblowing following internal corruption allegations.
Lagos-based tax consultancy Alpha-Beta Consulting LLP is facing fresh allegations of internal repression and staff intimidation as employees accuse leadership of targeting those suspected of whistleblowing. According to internal accounts obtained by SaharaReporters, the company’s Managing Director, Mr. Akinsanya Doherty, approved the redeployment of the Head of Human Capital, Mrs. Anjolaoluwa Grace Ige, to a “Special Assistant” role on April 15, 2026. While management officially described the move as an opportunity for “Business Management and Strategy” exposure, workers have alleged the reassignment is a punitive demotion intended to sideline her amid growing distrust within the executive hierarchy. “The office has no real function. Everybody knows this was punishment dressed up as restructuring,” one insider alleged.
The organizational shake-up has reportedly seen the elevation of Miss Kemi Fawole to Assistant General Manager of a newly created Corporate Services Department, which now centralizes control over Human Capital, Legal Administration, and Compliance. Employees claim this consolidation follows months of tension sparked by anonymous whistleblower emails in 2025 that accused senior executives of corruption and abuse of power. In response to these leaks, workers allege the company has adopted increasingly authoritarian measures, including the installation of advanced surveillance. “The management activated CCTV systems with voice recording capabilities after the anonymous mails surfaced. Staff now fear conversations are being monitored,” a source claimed.
The atmosphere within the firm, which has long been linked to President Bola Tinubu, is described by staff as increasingly hostile and litigious. One notable incident involves a lawyer identified as Joyce, who was reportedly suspended for a month following a disagreement with Fawole. Upon her return, Joyce was allegedly barred from the premises by security personnel acting on “standing instructions,” despite claims that her initial suspension violated internal procedures. These developments paint a picture of an organization struggling with deep-seated internal distrust, with employees alleging that management is prioritizing the identification of dissenters over addressing concerns regarding staff welfare and corporate transparency.
