Linda ikeji and omo akin to face possible prosecution

I bet by now you would have heard the unfortunate
story reported by Linda Ikeji on her Blog published
on Sunday 2, November concerning a severe
allegation regarding the attack of artiste, OmoAkin
by one of the resort’s animal.
The management of the resort on Monday came
forward to debunk the story in a statement saying
that no such thing happened at the resort and the
artiste never showed up at the venue.
The Blog had earlier claimed that OmoAkin was
receiving treatment at the Pennisula Hospital, a
story that turned out to be false following
investigations made by the resort via a visit to the
hospital to confirm he was indeed a victim of the
attack.
However, OmoAkin’s management, Star nation, as
at Tuesday came forward to debunk the news
circulating the social media, and the public as a
whole, when they realized the gravity of the
situation. They released a statement saying,
“To Whom It May Concern
Our attention has been drawn to the post making
rounds social media relating to our Artiste
“OmoAkin” in regards to him being attacked by
some wild animals in a reputable Resort in Nigeria.
We will like to point out that nothing of such
happened and in fact the pictures circulating with
the post was taken from an Halloween themed set
on the scene of the video shoot to his recently
released single “IJO OLOTI”.
We have spoken to the management of the resort in
question to straighten things up. We will also like to
state categorically that such news was not
released from our camp (Star Nation).
We urge everyone to please disregard such news
and focus on the good music from our artiste and
label. Anticipate the video to the Smash hit single
“IJO OLOTI”.
N.B
Any news or statement in regards to our artiste will
be released Officially.
Thank You,
Management.”
Omu resort confirmed receiving the statement and
had this to say,
“We at Omu resort have already denied that any
such incident took place. Following the said denial,
the management of OmoAkin, Star Nation, have also
made contact with us directly saying that they also
did not release the story and indeed the pictures
been circulated are Halloween pictures from the
video shoot as we have seen and not from the
resort.
That said, we are at a loss as to how such stories
that are capable of destroying a multibillion naira
business such as the resort and the career of a
budding artiste, OmoAkin, came about. The source
of this story and the reasons behind publishing
such must be thoroughly investigated by the Nigeria
Police force because it’s purely criminal. As early
stated, our lawyers are working closely with the
Police and we are working to get to the bottom of
where the story emanated from.
For all those that are peddling innuendos that the
resort might have used this as a publicity stunt,
who in their right mind would risk a multibillion naira
business on such cheap publicity? As indicated, the
Police is investigating the matter and arrests are
been made as we speak.”
