Ex-worker alleges harassment after rejecting boss’ sexual advances


Peace Gabriel
A former contract employee with Cormart Nigeria Limited, Peace Gabriel, has raised the alarm over an alleged attempt by her former supervisor, Mr. Patrick Ovie, to frame her for fraud.
Gabriel added that the development arose because she rejected Ovie’s alleged sexual advances.
Olokunbola Metro gathered that Gabriel, a former merchandiser with Cormart, marketed the company’s goods in Ikorodu, Oshodi, Victoria Island and Ejigbo during her two-year stay at the firm.
She said, “The way we work, we usually go out to look for anyone we can convince to buy Cormart products. After selling the products to such people, you wait for two weeks and then go to collect the money from your customers.
“But if you supplied goods to someone who bought in substantial quantity, you can give them the company form to fill and they would be given one month to make their payments.”
Gabriel said some of her customers, whom she sold goods to worth over N200,000 at Ikorodu, however, absconded without paying. They were said to be traders whose shops were demolished following the expansion of the Ikorodu road.
