Utomi’s Director of Media and Communications, Charles Odibo, issued a statement urging the public to disregard the unfounded list, emphasizing its complete falsehood.
Second Instance of False News Linking Utomi to Government
In the statement, Utomi’s spokesperson highlighted that this is the second occurrence in less than three months where false news attempts to connect Utomi with the new government.
