The Oluomo of Ijebu Igbo, High Chief Alhaji Abiodun Ismail Lawal Abinugbola as publicly challenged anyone, past or present, who has ever taught him internet fraud, participated in any fraudulent transaction with him, or has credible evidence linking him to any fraudulent activity, to come forward with proof.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page, the Oluomo offered N5million to anyone whose allegation against him is properly substantiated with credible and verifiable evidence.
He also warned against what he described as deliberate attempts to malign his name, spread falsehoods and make reckless allegations without evidence, saying such claims would be defended through the appropriate legal channels.
The Oluomo further spoke about his background, stating that he was raised by a hardworking mother who took on different jobs to provide for the family, and that her resilience influenced his commitment to honest work and legitimate enterprise.
He said his wealth was built through hard work, perseverance and honest dealings, while calling for a change in the narrative around wealth creation among young Nigerians.
Below is his full statement:
“TODAY IN HISTORY, I WANT TO OPENLY CHALLENGE ANYONE PAST OR PRESENT WHO HAS EVER TAUGHT ME “YAHOO” OR HAD ANY FRAUDULENT DEALINGS WITH ME TO COME FORWARD.
If you have ever taught me internet fraud, participated in any fraudulent transaction with me, or have credible evidence linking me to any fraudulent activity, come forward and present your evidence.
I will personally give ₦5 million to anyone whose allegation against me is properly substantiated with credible and verifiable proof.
But if you choose to malign my name, spread falsehoods, or make reckless allegations against me without evidence, be prepared to defend your claims through the appropriate legal channels. I will not tolerate deliberate attempts to destroy my reputation.
A man with a clean conscience does not live in fear of accusations.
I was born by a hardworking mother who took on different jobs to raise us. We watched her struggle, we learned from her resilience, and we followed the path of honest work and legitimate enterprise.
I made my money through hard work, perseverance and honest dealings.
We must stop allowing people to rewrite our stories and deceive young Nigerians into believing that wealth can only come through fraud, crime or other evil means.
There is dignity in honest work. There is honour in building legitimate businesses. And there is nothing more fulfilling than creating generational wealth from a clean foundation.
Hard work. Honesty. Discipline. Integrity. That is the foundation of sustainable wealth.
