Monrovia – The Chairman of AIM4D International Ltd., Nadim El Hage, has categorically rejected and condemned the false and misleading attempts circulating on social media to associate him with recent allegations relating to a reported drug arrest in Liberia.
In an official statement regarding the misleading Social Media Posts issued on Wednesday, July 22, Mr. Hage says he photograph being circulated was taken during a routine visit to inspect the progress of a project site.
He says he attended in his professional capacity as Chairman of AIM4D International Ltd, together with former President George Manneh Weah, Coalition for Democratic Change(CDC) Leadership, and members of the party.
According to him, the photograph simply records his presence during that site visit and has absolutely no connection to any criminal investigation or to the individual referred to in the social media publication.
‘‘AIM4D International Ltd is a duly registered company in the Republic of Liberia and conducts its activities in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. The company is an active taxpayer and meets its tax obligations to the relevant Liberian authorities,’’ Mr. Hage explains.
He describes as ‘‘irresponsible, misleading, and potentially defamatory’’ to misuse photographs taken during public or professional activities in order to create a false narrative and damage the reputation of an innocent person or a legitimate business.
‘‘Throughout my professional career, I have remained committed to architecture, engineering, project development, construction, and investment across Africa, with integrity, professionalism, and respect for the laws of every country in which AIM4D International Ltd operates.
I call upon media organizations, social media administrators, users and members of the public to verify information before publishing or sharing unsubstantiated claims,’’ Mr. Hage states. He also requests that the misleading publication and any related false statements be removed immediately.
‘‘I reserve all legal rights against any individual, page, media platform or organization that knowingly publishes, republishes or continues to disseminate false and defamatory statements intended to harm my personal reputation or the standing of AIM4D International Ltd,’’ Mr. Hage points out.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hage sincerely thanks all those who have taken the time to verify the facts before drawing conclusions or sharing the publication.
