The Executive Chairman of Ikosi Isheri Local Council Development area of Lagos State, Mrs Samiat Bada, has denied online allegations of compelling her staff members to buy N650,000 fabrics (aso ebi )for her forthcoming 50th birthday.
Addressing the media at the council secretariat, in Lagos on Tuesday, Bada described the allegations as completely false and baseless.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that an online medium reported a petition filed by Concerned Ikosi Isheri LCDA Residents against Bada for selling N650.000.00 fabrics for her birthday at this difficult time.
The group had allegedly accused her of making it compulsory for councillors, supervisors and workers to buy the fabrics, among other allegations levelled against her.
Bada told newsmen that those allegations were part of a deliberate attempt to blackmail her, tarnish her reputation and create unnecessary division within her administration.
