The insurance company will reject Mr. Ajai's claims under the principle of "Utmost good faith". This principle requires that the policyholder must disclose all relevant information that would affect the insurer's decision to accept or decline the policy.

As a result, the insurer can reject his claims due to the breach of this principle.
