The woman taking to her social media handle, posted a number of disturbing posts about what she called a terrifying experience near the restaurant’s women’s lavatory. In clearly emotional video.
“I’m not lying,” she declared. “Inside the restaurant, the first door after the female restroom. Go and check it. Many people have died. I’m not trying to ruin anyone’s business.”
She further claimed to have uncovered unsettling objects, including “white clothes” and “charms” behind a door close to the female restroom. “When I saw it, I shouted, ‘Blood of Jesus!’” she added.
The management of the establishment denounced the allegations as “baseless and malicious” in an official statement, claiming that they were instigated by competitors.
The management stated their confidence that those who are responsible for the defamatory content will be held accountable and confirmed that security agencies have been informed.
“Our restaurant operates with the highest standards of safety, integrity, and respect for human rights and dignity. It is clear that competitors who have not been able to upstage us business-wise have resorted to this devilish strategy,” the statement read.
“This is an opportunity to thank our loyal customers for their continued trust and support while welcoming new customers to experience our delicious meals and high-level hospitality,” the statement added.
