Clarification: Statement regarding previous article on Sandra Odufaderin

On 7 November we published an article – since deleted – which reported on allegations of domestic abuse made by a woman, Sandra Odufaderin, which she shared during a public meeting at North Central London WorkWell centre, attended by Liz Kendall and Wes Streeting.

Following publication we were contacted by Sandra’s former partner, who made it clear that he denies the claims made in the article. He also provided documentation indicating that the police took no further action in relation to the complaints, citing insufficient evidence. We are happy to put his position on the record.
