Mikano International Limited has refuted allegations linking its chairman, Mr Mofid Karameh, to criminal activity.
In a statement on Friday, the company described as false a report by an online news platform that Mr Karameh was involved in, investigated for, or associated with illegal activity.
“These claims are entirely unfounded, baseless, and defamatory,” the firm said, describing such allegations as “a gross misrepresentation of his character and the values he upholds.”
“For more than three decades, Mikano International Limited has built a solid reputation grounded in integrity, transparency, and responsible business conduct across Nigeria and beyond.
“We take this reputation seriously and are deeply concerned by the dissemination of unverified information capable of misleading the public and unjustly harming both personal and corporate credibility.
“We urge our partners, clients, and the general public to disregard the report in its entirety,” the statement made available to Business Post said.
Mikano said it was “currently reviewing all available legal options and will take appropriate action to defend the reputation of our chairman and the organisation.”
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to excellence across all sectors in which we operate and sincerely appreciate the continued trust and support of our stakeholders,” it stressed.
