Addressing the claims on his Instagram page, Churchill stated that the allegations were untrue and blamed their spread on jealousy and the circulation of false information.
He explained that he prefers to keep many aspects of his personal life and business activities away from public attention, noting that choosing privacy should not be interpreted as an attempt to hide anything.

His Full Statement
He wrote: “We Nigerians can sometimes be our own biggest problem. The jealousy, negativity, and constant spread of false information are exhausting.
“Over the years, I have chosen to keep many aspects of my personal and business life private. That choice should never be mistaken for having something to hide. Privacy is a principle I value, and I intend to keep it that way.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Your uncle is in his third decade of entrepreneurship, strategic investments, and philanthropy. Three decades of building businesses, creating jobs, empowering people, and leaving a legacy that speaks louder than noise.”
