ABUJA, Nigeria – Global wellness company NeoLife launches a sweeping investigation into its Nigerian operations and pledges prosecution of any distributor found guilty of unethical conduct, following allegations of deceptive recruitment practices.
The company confirms that it suspends several independent distributors with immediate effect after a national newspaper report accuses some marketers of recruiting youths and students with false income promises.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, NeoLife International Vice President for Legal Affairs, Mr Douglas Graham, says the investigation is comprehensive and driven by the company’s zero-tolerance policy for exploitation.
“This is not a reaction without investigation,” Graham states. “Our sincere intention is to get to the bottom of these alleged unethical practices, including manipulation by uplines and recruitment based on promises that never existed.”
NeoLife insists that no individual is permitted to exploit or manipulate vulnerable people under its brand name, stressing that its core values are built on integrity. “To hear that our platform has been used to exploit the very people we aim to empower is unacceptable,” Graham adds. “We are not just doing this to clear our name; we are seeking justice.”
The company says the probe will expose all individuals involved in alleged misconduct within its Nigerian network and will extend beyond internal disciplinary measures where necessary.
“If criminal activity is confirmed, we will hand over evidence to the authorities,” the statement notes. “The outcome will not be swept under the carpet.”
NeoLife expresses concern over reports that some youths allegedly lost school fees while pursuing promised earnings, describing the claims as deeply troubling.
With over 67 years of global operations across more than 50 countries, the company reiterates its commitment to ethical business practices and consumer protection.
