Businessman and philanthropist Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports claiming he was arrested in Switzerland over alleged tax evasion.
Online publications alleged that the socialite and former husband of actress Tonto Dikeh was detained in connection with a company involved in agricultural importation and international trade. The reports further claimed the firm was linked to the Churchill Group of Companies.
Reacting on his Instagram page, Churchill described the stories as completely false and driven by jealousy and misinformation.

“We Nigerians can sometimes be our own biggest problem. The jealousy, negativity, and constant spread of false information are exhausting,” he wrote.
He explained that he has chosen to keep many aspects of his personal and business life private, stressing that privacy should never be mistaken for having something to hide.
Churchill was clear about his legal standing: “For the avoidance of doubt, I have no police case, no court case, and no criminal matter whatsoever. Any claims suggesting otherwise are entirely false and should be treated as such.”
The entrepreneur said he remains focused on his work despite the rumours. “My focus remains on building businesses, creating opportunities, supporting meaningful causes, and continuing the work that truly matters. Those who know me understand that my values, actions, and consistency speak far louder than speculation.”
