Warere Beach Hotel Zanzibar has responded to s£xual ass@ult deeds made by a Nigerian woman, Zainab Oladeinde on Saturday, April 16.
At the same time Zanzibar’s Commission for Tourism expressed its disappointment with the allegations.
In the statement, Hafsa Mbaba, condemned the act saying investigations into the allegations had commenced.
The Nigerian national, Zainab Oladehinde on Saturday, April 16, shared the traumatic experience which happened in 2021 when she visited Zanzibar for a vacation on her birthday here.
According to Warere Beach Hotel the matter was reported to relevant authorities who classified the case as personal, and not the hotel’s negligence.
“We tried our best to support Ms Zainab Oladehinde as soon as we learned of the accusations. We immediately brought her to the police and offered her support,” Warere hotel posted on Facebook.
The hotel also faulted the aggrieved client, Zainab, for declining to take the case further after pursuing numerous avenues in her quest for justice.
“Ms Zainab declined to take the case further. Ms Zainab Oladehinde was informed that the hotel would abide by damages rewarded by the court system of Zanzibar,’ the hotel added.
The hotel says it was ready to meet the compensation awarded to Zainab by the courts.
Moreover, the hotel’s management claims it was hacked on Saturday, adding it had received over 4,000 negative reviews in three hours from people it believes have never stayed at their facility.
There was an uproar on social media for the better part of the weekend following the Nigerian woman’s sexual assault allegations while on vacation in April 2021.
