FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Subj: ASSAULT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT

AUGUST 28, 2024

Dear Guests,

On the evening of November 1, 2023, the Founder and President of The Afri Bar, LLC, Oliver B. Mitchell III, was physically assaulted by an individual who “claimed” to be sixteen (16) years of age who were caught in an uncompromising situation, who in his best defense then accused Mr. Mitchell of being a pedophile.

The incident is described as a sexually motivated hate crime and is currently under investigation. At this time, evidence strongly suggests this act may have been planned, staged, or coerced. We believe there are mitigating circumstances involving accusations made by Mr. Mitchell stemming from whistleblowing disclosures made during his prior federal career. Per Mr. Mitchell, he has decided to press charges against all known and unknown individuals considering statements made by the perpetrator while video surveillance evidence clearly shows the perpetrator was in the wrong and the accusations of Mr. Mitchell being a pedophile being baseless.

As a result of this unfortunate and continuing string of events Village Resorts Hospitality Group, LLC, and The Afri Resort, LLC, owner and operator of The Afri Bar are considering implementing a 21 and-over policy resort-wide. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

From time to time at our sole discretion The Afri Bar, LLC, may limit, restrict, deny, or expand its products, goods, and services to any one person, group, or entity based on the type of products, goods, or services in question at the time of limitation, restriction, denial, expansion, amendment, or modification in our sole and absolute discretion.

Thank you for your interest in the Afri Bar.
