Ashluxe CEO, Olayinka Ashogbon, has broken his silence following an incident where his security guards allegedly sprayed tear gas at Nollywood actresses Caroline Danjuma and Shan George. The incident occurred after Danjuma parked in front of the Ashluxe store, prompting her to publicly threaten legal action against the brand.
In response, Ashogbon acknowledged the unfortunate event and stated that it has been reported to the relevant authorities. He also expressed his deep sympathy to the actresses and emphasized that his organization strongly condemns any form of violence, harassment, or assault.
“I have been made aware of the incident that occurred on our office premises on Saturday, 18.08.2024 [8:30pm-10:00pm]. Upon learning of the situation, it was promptly reported to the relevant authorities, and we are cooperating fully with their ongoing inquiry and investigation.
