Dele Momodu said this on social media barely hours after oil magnate, Femi Otedola, urged Adenuga to redeem his pledge to help fight the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria had in a statement last Friday listed Mike Adenuga as well as cement company, Lafarge; and telecommunications firm, MTN, of not redeeming their pledges.

In a post on Instagram, however, Momodu attached a letter addressed to Adenuga by Sterling Bank confirming the payment of N1bn.
The letter titled, ‘Confirmation of transfer to CBN account 1000014920 COVID-19 Relief Fund Account’, read in part, “As you are well aware, we made bank drafts for the total sum of N1, 000, 000, 000 (one billion naira only) on March 30, 2020 in favour of COVID-19 Relief Fund Account.

Dele Momodu said Mike Adenuga had also donated N500m to the Lagos State Government which was handed personally to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by the Executive Vice Chairman of Globacom, Mrs. Bella Disu.
