In response to a series of misleading and widely circulated social media posts, PWAN categorically distances itself from the recent arrest and detention of Mr. Scott IGUMA.
We wish to state unequivocally that PWAN, as a private corporate entity, neither has the authority nor has ever exercised any power to arrest or detain any individual. The suggestion that we are responsible for Mr. IGUMA’s current legal challenges is entirely false, malicious, and deeply misleading.
While it is true that Mr. IGUMA has, in recent months, waged a sustained smear campaign against PWAN, we have consistently responded with professionalism, restraint, and full adherence to legal channels. Despite persistent provocations and the dissemination of falsehoods, we extended multiple invitations to Mr. IGUMA for peaceful dialogue—offers he publicly declined, as evident in his social media posts.
We must emphasize that social media is not an appropriate venue for resolving legal disputes or grievances. There are recognized legal and institutional channels for such matters, which PWAN has always respected.
According to information reliably available to us, Mr. IGUMA is currently being held for allegedly evading lawful police invitations and for a reported altercation with law enforcement officials at Panti. These events are unrelated to PWAN and occurred independently of any involvement or directive from our organization. We understand that these issues were brought before Justice Oghazi of the Federal High Court, Lagos Division, during Mr. IGUMA’s recent arraignment.
We urge the public, media outlets, and social commentators to refrain from amplifying unfounded allegations. Let the judicial process unfold transparently and without interference.
PWAN remains firmly committed to integrity, the rule of law, and the continued advancement of Nigeria’s real estate sector through ethical, transparent business practices.
We thank our partners, clients, and stakeholders for their continued trust and support. Truth does not scream—it endures.
