SWAN NATIONAL SECRETARIAT
PRESS STATEMENT
*SWAN Issues Disclaimer on Olatutu Oladunni, Bello Omotunde*
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) wishes to categorically disclaim Ms. Olatutu Oladunni and Mr. Bello Omotunde as officials or members of the Lagos State Chapter of SWAN.
This disclaimer has become necessary following their suspension from all Association’s activities through a formal decision of NEC, pursuant to Article 21, Section (1) A and C of the SWAN Statute, which empowers the National Executive Committee to discipline erring officers for acts of gross misconduct. The suspension, which took immediate effect, renders both individuals ineligible to act in any capacity on behalf of SWAN.
The attention of the National Secretariat has been drawn to illegal and self-styled activities being organieed by the suspended duo, including claims of holding or conducting any form of election purportedly in the name of SWAN Lagos State Chapter. The National Secretariat reiterates that such actions are null, void, and of no effect whatsoever.
Security agencies, corporate partners, media organisations, and the general public are strongly advised to desist from recognising or engaging with Ms. Olatutu Oladunni and Mr. Bello Omotunde in any matter relating to SWAN, as their continued impersonation constitutes a breach of the Association’s statutes, and a violation of their suspension order.
For the avoidance of doubt, the National Executive Committee reiterates that the only recognised leadership of the Lagos State Chapter of SWAN remains under the coordination of the Acting Chairman, Mr. Aaron Akerejola, pending the conclusion of ongoing investigations by the Independent Investigation Committee (IIC).
As a professional Association, SWAN remains a law-abiding professional body and shall continue to cooperate with relevant security authorities to ensure that due process, order, and statutory discipline are upheld within its ranks.
