Churchill Olakunle Denies Switzerland Arrest Claim

 Businessman and philanthropist Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports claiming he was arrested in Switzerland over alleged tax evasion, describing the story as false and misleading. 

The rumours began circulating online on Monday, with reports alleging that the former husband of actress Tonto Dikeh was taken into custody in Switzerland. 

The reports also claimed that one of his associates was being investigated over a company involved in agricultural imports and international trade, which was allegedly linked to Churchill Group of Companies.

Responding through his Instagram page, Churchill said the claims were untrue. He blamed the spread of the story on jealousy and the circulation of false information, adding that such actions continue to create unnecessary problems.

He explained that he has always preferred to keep many parts of his personal life and business activities away from public attention. According to him, choosing privacy should not be seen as an attempt to hide anything, as it is simply a personal principle he has maintained over the years.

Churchill also stated that he is not facing any investigation or legal action. He said he has no police matter, no court case and no criminal issue anywhere, insisting that reports suggesting otherwise are completely false and should not be believed.

The  businessman added that the rumours would not distract him from his responsibilities. He said his attention remains on growing businesses, creating opportunities for others, supporting worthwhile causes and continuing with projects that make a positive impact. 

Churchill also expressed gratitude to God for His grace and protection. He said he would continue to live by integrity, dignity and faith, while allowing time to reveal the truth rather than engaging in unnecessary arguments over the claims.
