Abuja socialite, “Arab Money” tenders apology for defaming  Uyo hotel

Akwa ibom born and Abuja based socialite Mrs. Happiness Uyioata  popularly called “Arab Money” has apologized to the management of Monty Suite hotels Uyo over a recent altercations with a traducer which allegedly put the corporate image of the hospitality outfit in disrepute.

“Arab Money” had penultimate week in a widely circulated video on social media platforms warned some married women involving in adulterous and extra marital affairs in the Monty suite hotels Uyo, to turn a new leaf or quit their marriages if they can’t cope with the demands of the matrimonial institution vowing to expose them to the public.

The video which went viral had elicited a lot of negative comments from indigenes of the area who felt it portrayed women from the state in a bad light.

However the allegation of such oddity taking place at the hotel was found unpalatable and offensive by the management of the high brow hotel.

Though the hotel management as at press time is yet to make any official statement on the matter, Uyioata in a letter addressed to the Managing Director of Monty Suites and made available to newsmen expressed deep seated regret over the video she made and posted on her WhatsApp wall earlier in the month.

In the video she erroneously named the Hospitality outfit as the place married women lounge in for extra marital affairs.

“That the statement identifying Monty Suites as a venue where some married women do go to have extra marital affairs is regretted and hereby withdrawn and same stands retracted bearing in mind that Monty Suite is a corporate hospitality and business outfit which has nothing to do with the unfortunate altercations I had with another woman.”

In the letter she further described as misidentification the name of Monty Suites as the venue for such amorous affairs saying that “it is a painful and regrettable mistake as the correct venue was thereafter identified.

“By this retraction, I take exception to any form of propaganda in relating to the said video as any person who want to use the said video to insult, traduce, defame the character of any person or corporate body, or intend to extort money from anyone using the said video does so at his/her own peril.

“I regret all inconveniences and embarrassment this misidentification or mistake might have caused the management of Monty Suites, its esteemed customers, the good people of Akwa Ibom State and the general public”. She wrote.

While calling for forgiveness and understanding from the above mentioned publics, “Arab Money” explained that the video was done when she was truly emotionally distressed.
