Nollywood actress, Uche Elendu has responded to fellow actress Doris Ogala’s claims that she lied about her store being looted in Lekki.
Elendu had posted some pictures on Instagram, showing some shops looted in a plaza in Lekki and Ogala reacted to the post, accusing the actress of posting other people’s shops as hers.
According to Ogala, the shops in the pictures were quite big, compared to Elendu’s.
In an interview with Punch, Elendu however responded to the claims, explaining that the pictures she posted were sent on a WhatsApp group for fellow business women in the plaza.
“I and other shop owners in the mall were added to a WhatsApp group and pictures of the damage to the mall were uploaded there. Those were the pictures I posted on Instagram as I could not go there initially to see things for myself because of the curfew in the state.
It was when the curfew was eased that I went there to take pictures and videos,” she explained.
She however mentioned that she is too busy trying to get back on her feet to respond to her colleague’s bash.
“I really don’t have any reaction to the person who claimed I misled the public about my store being looted,” she said. “My focus is on how to start all over again and get back on my feet.”
The actress revealed to fans on Instagram that a few friends had sent their financial support and even set up a GoFundMe account for her to start all over again.
Here’s a new video of her own store, as seen on her page:
