Lagos: 5 Points Hotel denies link with alleged perpetrator of assault, describes report as malicious 

The management of 5 Points Hotel, Igando-Ikotun, in  Lagos State has described a report linking their facility with alleged assault on a woman and her daughter by one Mr.   Adakeja  as misleading, malicious and false.
“This unfortunate incident, if it happened at all, is entirely unrelated to our establishment and should be rightly addressed to the individual(s) involved, rather than being falsely attributed to our business,” the management of 5 Points hotel said in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement partly reads “Our attention has been drawn to a misleading and malicious report making the rounds, falsely linking 5 Points Hotel, Igando-Ikotun, with criminal activities allegedly masterminded by one Mr. Sheriffdeen Ojon Olorunfemi. We consider it necessary to set the records straight in order to protect the integrity of our establishment and reassure our numerous patrons.
“5 Points Hotel has been in existence for more than 15 years, serving as a reputable hospitality and relaxation centre. Over the years, it has remained a hub of social and recreational activities for responsible men, women and young people, who visit our lounge, bar, and clubhouse in a safe and secure environment.
” The Hotel has no affiliation with Mr. Adakeja and he is not the owner, partner, affiliate, or employee of 5 Points Hotel. The writer to carry out proper check and desist from peddling false information. Any attempt to link his personal activities with our operations is mischievous and completely unfounded.
“We categorically state that the reported case of a woman and her daughter allegedly beaten, wounded, and stripped naked did not occur within the premises of 5 Points Hotel. This unfortunate incident, if it happened at all, is entirely unrelated to our establishment and should be rightly addressed to the individual(s) involved, rather than being falsely attributed to our business.
” 5 Points Hotel and Mr. Adakeja are two separate entities with no business, operational, or personal ties. It is therefore malicious and irresponsible for anyone to smear our brand by conflating his alleged personal activities with our operations.
“For over a decade, 5 Points Hotel has maintained high security standards. We employ at least three armed Mobile Policemen who provide round-the-clock surveillance, in addition to our trained private security personnel. Our guests and patrons can attest to the safe and serene environment we provide.
” We are convinced that the said report was concocted to deliberately tarnish the corporate image of our hotel, perhaps out of jealousy, hatred, or ulterior motives. We urge the general public to disregard such fabrications and continue to patronise 5 Points Hotel with confidence.
“5 Points Hotel remains committed to excellence in hospitality and the provision of a safe, secure, and enjoyable environment for all our guests. We strongly dissociate ourselves from the actions or reputation of any individual without affiliation with our operations and call on well-meaning members of the public to disregard this baseless attempt to malign our brand.”
