SIFAX Group says a viral video report that its subsidiary, Ports and Cargo Handling Services Limited, has put up over 3,000 containers for sale is false.

The Group maintained that the person who appeared in the video report and identified himself as Oloja Oluwasegun is not its employee or any of its subsidiaries.

In a statement, Mr. Muyiwa Akande, Group Head, Corporate Communications of SIFAX Group, denied the content of the viral video and urged the public to disregard it.

Akande noted SIFAX Group operates in full compliance with industry regulations and standards, and at no time authorized the sale of containers, whether empty or overtime, as alleged in the video.

The statement reads thus: SIFAX Group’s attention has been drawn to a viral video claiming that one of its subsidiaries, Ports and Cargo Handling Services Limited, has put up over 3,000 containers for sale.

We wish to categorically state the following:
False Representation of SIFAX Group’s Employee: The individual featured in the video, who identified himself as Oloja Oluwasegun, was seen wearing a SIFAX-branded reflective jacket. After a thorough internal investigation, we can confirm that this individual has never been employed by SIFAX Group or any of its subsidiaries. The misuse of our branded attire is both misleading and concerning.

Unauthorized Sale of Containers: SIFAX Group operates in full compliance with industry regulations and standards, and at no time have we authorized the sale of containers, whether empty or overtime, as alleged in the video. The claims made in the footage are baseless and do not reflect our organization’s policies or practices.

Call for Responsible Information Sharing: We urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information that could mislead the public.

SIFAX Group is currently working closely with law enforcement and other relevant agencies to uncover the source of this misinformation and bring those involved to justice.

We appreciate the trust our clients, partners, and the general public have reposed in SIFAX Group, and we stay true to our unwavering commitment to professionalism and service delivery.
