The Badagry Local Government has dismissed as false and misleading a viral social media report alleging that a school principal and her husband died under suspicious circumstances at a hotel in Badagry during the Eid-el-Adha celebrations.
The council said investigations conducted with relevant stakeholders and security authorities confirmed that the report was entirely fabricated and did not occur anywhere within the council area.
The viral report had claimed that a woman identified as Mrs. Ajayi Ikweoku, allegedly the Principal of Salvation Army Memorial High School, Ojo, Lagos, and her husband, died after lodging at a purported “Prime Garden Hotel” located along “Census Extension” in Badagry.
