Speaking in a statement on Saturday, Media Aide to Sir Emeka Offor, Ebuka Onochie Obi, exonerated Sir Emeka Offor, the Chrome Group of Companies as well as Sir Emeka Offor Foundation while describing the allegation as the handiwork of mischief makers who were hell bent on bring him to disrepute.

“For the records, Sir Emeka Offor Foundation has been engaged in helping people in need become independent and self-sufficient. Since the onset of the global pandemic which has laid waste the financial aspirations of individuals, organisations and countries, SEOF has made significant and unparalleled interventions in the health and educational sectors of our economy.”
