The Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission issued an illegal operator alert on Sapphire Scents Limited, stating that the company is holding itself out as an investment adviser and fund manager while promoting an unregistered investment scheme, and is not registered to operate in any capacity in the Nigerian capital market. The Commission advised the public to refrain from engaging with Sapphire Scents Limited or its representatives in relation to any capital market business, noting that anyone who does so acts at their own risk. It also reminded investors to verify the status of entities offering investment opportunities via the Commission’s verification portal before transacting.
