Vaniti Lagos has denied claims that it served fake or adulterated drinks to customers, calling the allegations false and implausible. The denial comes after a man claimed on TikTok that he and four friends visiting from Moscow fell ill with stomach aches following a night at the club. The club's management, in a statement posted on the CEO Uyi Ogbebor's Instagram account (@sir_uyi), said its supply chain partnerships with global beverage firms Moët Hennessy and Pernod Ricard ensure product authenticity. "The idea that fake drinks could ever be found at Vaniti is not just false; it is impossible given the structure mentioned above," the statement read. It added that the accuser provided no proof of purchase, medical reports, or evidence of presence at the club. Vaniti questioned the individual's credibility, noting he does not appear to be based in Nigeria and urging him to produce receipts or payment records. The club also raised concerns about the motives behind the claims, suggesting a possible orchestrated campaign. It invited customers who were present on the night in question to share their experiences if they encountered any issues. Uyi Ogbebor posted on Instagram that he will no longer stay silent, hinting at an upcoming book containing names, dates, and receipts from his business dealings.
Uyi Ogbebor claims the accuser lacks proof, yet offers no independently verifiable data from the club's own records to clear the air. The absence of disclosed transaction logs or security footage from the night in question leaves both the accusation and the rebuttal unproven. Nigerians who patronize high-end clubs like Vaniti may now question how easily reputations can hinge on social media claims with no concrete evidence on either side. A public figure threatening a tell-all book does not settle doubts—it deepens them.
