*BREAKING: Wesley Hotels Issues Legal Ultimatum to Eghosa, Demands Retraction Over Alleged Defamatory Publication*

The legal representatives of Wesley Hotels, I.C. Okpara & Associates, have issued a formal demand letter to Engr. Edomwonyi Eghosa, seeking an immediate retraction, cease-and-desist action, and public apology over what the hotel described as a “malicious and defamatory publication” against the establishment.

In a letter dated May 27, 2026, the legal team alleged that Eghosa, alongside one Emmanuel S. Agbogun, circulated a publication on a Facebook platform identified as Edo State Political Platform (Orhionmwon Abudu), accusing Wesley Hotels of harboring cultists and accommodating cult-related activities.

According to the solicitors, the allegations are false, baseless, and capable of causing severe reputational and financial damage to the hospitality business. The lawyers maintained that the publication was deliberately aimed at tarnishing the image of the hotel and inciting public panic, particularly at a time when authorities are intensifying efforts to combat cultism.

The letter further stated that the management of Wesley Hotels possesses evidence of an incident that reportedly occurred at the hotel on May 24, 2026, involving an argument between Eghosa and another customer.

According to the legal team, the situation was swiftly brought under control by the hotel’s security personnel.
Rather than acknowledging what they described as the prompt intervention of management, the solicitors alleged that false claims were subsequently circulated against the establishment.

As part of its demands, Wesley Hotels, through its solicitors, called for:
The immediate removal and retraction of the alleged defamatory publication from all social media platforms and channels where it was shared. A halt to any further publication or circulation of statements deemed false or defamatory against the hotel.

An unqualified written apology to be published in at least one national newspaper and on the same social media platforms where the initial publication appeared. The legal team also requested that the draft apology be submitted for approval before publication.

Furthermore, the solicitors warned that failure to comply with the demands within 24 hours of receiving the letter could result in legal action, including a civil suit for libel and defamation, as well as possible reports to law enforcement agencies over allegations of criminal defamation and cyberstalking.

As of the time of filing this report, Engr. Eghosa had not publicly responded to the allegations and demands contained in the letter.

*REJOINDER: FALSE AND MALICIOUS PUBLICATION AGAINST WESLEY HOTELS*

The Management of Wesley Hotels, Benin City, wishes to categorically debunk and strongly condemn the false, malicious, and defamatory publication circulating on social media, particularly by a page known as Orhionmwon Abudu, alleging that Wesley Hotels is connected to any disagreement involving Engr. Eghosa Edomwonyi, or any political associates.

For the avoidance of doubt, Wesley Hotels is a reputable hospitality establishment committed to providing safe, secure, and quality services to all guests irrespective of political, ethnic, or social affiliations. We wish to clearly state that Wesley Hotels has no connection whatsoever with the reported disagreement or alleged altercation involving any individuals mentioned in the publication.

The attempt to drag the name of Wesley Hotels into personal or political disputes is not only misleading but a deliberate effort to tarnish the hard-earned reputation of an establishment that has operated lawfully and responsibly over the years.

We are particularly disturbed by the reckless allegations labeling Wesley Hotels as a “breeding ground for cultism” and a center for criminal activities without any credible evidence or investigation. Such weighty accusations are false, baseless, malicious, and intended to incite public distrust and damage the image of our brand.

As a responsible corporate organization, Wesley Hotels maintains a strict policy of compliance with all laws and regulations governing hospitality businesses in Edo State and Nigeria at large. We cooperate fully with relevant law enforcement and security agencies in ensuring the safety and security of our guests and the general public.

It is important to state that hotels are public facilities where guests from different walks of life patronize services, and management cannot be held responsible for personal disagreements between individuals unless there is proven complicity, which in this case does not exist.

We therefore call on members of the public to disregard the unfounded allegations being circulated and avoid being misled by sensational narratives aimed at causing unnecessary panic and reputational harm. Wesley Hotels remains committed to professionalism, hospitality excellence, and maintaining a peaceful environment for all guests.

We reserve the right to seek legal redress against any individual or platform found spreading falsehood, defamatory statements, and damaging misinformation against our establishment.

Signed:
*Management*
Wesley Hotels, Benin City
