PUBLIC DISCLAIMER, VINDICATION & NOTICE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
This is to formally notify the general public that Mr. Chukwudimma Frank Mafiana was previously implicated in a criminal matter in 2015 relating to allegations of cultism.
For clarity and on record:
The said matter (Suit No. A/45A/2015 โ C.O.P v. Frank Mafiana & 6 Ors) before the Magistrate Court of Lagos State, Yaba Magisterial District, was struck out on the 16th day of September 2016 by His Honour, Mr. P.A. Ojo (Chief Magistrate, Admin) for lack of diligent prosecution.
All Defendants, including Mr. Mafiana, were discharged by the Court as the prosecution failed to present sufficient evidence and was not prepared to proceed.
Since that date, there has been NO conviction, NO subsisting charge, and NO judicial finding linking Mr. Mafiana to cultism or any criminal activity whatsoever.
Accordingly, all publications, reports, and online content portraying him as a cultist or cult leader are FALSE, MISLEADING, and DEFAMATORY. These publications have caused significant reputational damage, loss of business opportunities, and unwarranted social stigma to our client.
For the avoidance of doubt:
โข Mr. Frank Mafiana is NOT a cultist
โข He has NEVER been convicted of any offence
โข He is a reputable businessman who maintains a lawful, peaceful, and honest livelihood
โข He strongly dissociates from and speaks against cultism in all forms
Members of the public, corporate bodies, and institutions are hereby advised to disregard and discountenance any such false publications or representations.
All media houses, bloggers, digital platforms, and individuals are hereby put on notice to immediately cease and desist from further publication, circulation, or republication of these false allegations.
A formal Cease & Desist Notice has been issued demanding:
โข Immediate removal of all defamatory content
โข De-indexing from search engines
โข Retraction and public apology
Failure to comply within 72 hours of notice will result in the commencement of legal proceedings without further notice.
This publication serves as a formal record of notice and vindication.
