I, Spencilene Precious Benson, daughter of Mama Opral Benson, OON, issued this statement in response to a false, malicious, and deliberately misleading publication alleging that my mother is missing.
I categorically state that this publication is entirely false, unfounded, and fabricated, and appears to have been orchestrated by individuals acting with malicious, callous, and nefarious intent.
For the avoidance of doubt, Mama Opral Benson, OON is not missing. We are presently in Monrovia, Liberia, where she is visiting family members and attending to critical personal and domestic matters. She remains in good health and we will be returning to Nigeria shortly.
In light of the foregoing, I urge members of the public, family members, associates, and well-wishers to disregard and dismiss in its entirety the false publication alleging that Mama Opral Benson, OON is missing.
Furthermore, I hereby put the originators and distributors of this false, malicious, and reckless publication on notice to cease and desist immediately from further dissemination of such misinformation.
Be advised that I am taking steps to ensure that the appropriate law enforcement and regulatory authorities are formally notified and engaged to investigate this matter and take all necessary action.
This statement is issued to set the record straight and to protect the integrity, safety, and reputation of Mama Opral Benson, OON and her family.
