Addressing the media, Adeoye expressed disappointment in the spread of unsubstantiated information and urged journalists to uphold professional ethics by verifying facts before publication.
Adeoye, renowned for his dedication to duty throughout his career, vowed to vehemently defend his integrity against baseless allegations. He cautioned the public against being swayed by unfounded rumors and assured legal action against those responsible for spreading falsehoods.
In light of Adeoye’s denial, media outlets are urged to exercise prudence and accuracy in reporting sensitive matters, adhering to the principles of fairness and responsible journalism to prevent unjust damage to individuals’ reputations.
