No Truth to Viral Claims: SIFAX Group Clarifies Container Sale Rumours
By Jerry Aguigbo
SIFAX Group has clarified a viral video making the rounds about purported sales of 3,000 containers by one of its subsidiaries, Ports &Cargo Handling Services Ltd. In a document made available to TodayNews by Olumuyiwa Akande
Group Head, Corporate Communications
SIFAX Group.
The Group rejects the story as untrue and unfounded. Quoting part of the document:
“SIFAX Group’s attention has been drawn to a viral video claiming that one of its subsidiaries, Ports and Cargo Handling Services Limited, has put up over 3,000 containers for sale.
We wish to categorically state the following:
False Representation of SIFAX Group’s Employee:
The individual featured in the video, who identified himself as Oloja Oluwasegun, was seen wearing a SIFAX-branded reflective jacket. After a thorough internal investigation, we can confirm that this individual has never been employed by SIFAX Group or any of its subsidiaries. The misuse of our branded attire is both misleading and concerning.
Unauthorized Sale of Containers:
SIFAX Group operates in full compliance with industry regulations and standards, and at no time have we authorized the sale of containers, whether empty or overtime, as alleged in the video. The claims made in the footage are baseless and do not reflect our organisation’s policies or practices.
Call for Responsible Information Sharing:
We urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information that could mislead the public.”
Continuing, Muyiwa says,
“SIFAX Group is currently working closely with law enforcement and other relevant agencies to uncover the source of this misinformation and bring those involved to justice.
We appreciate the trust our clients, partners, and the general public have reposed in SIFAX Group, and we stay true to our unwavering commitment to professionalism and service delivery.”
