Alleged sexual harassment: Natasha Akpoti has no evidence against Akpabio, says UK-based activist

Published

on

 

Sandra Duru, a United Kingdom (UK)-based activist, popularly known as Professor Mgbeke, says Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended senator representing Kogi central, fabricated the sexual harassment allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Duru spoke during a live Facebook session held on Thursday night, alleging that Akpoti-Uduaghan offered her N200 million to falsely accuse Akpabio of organ harvesting.

The activist said she had audio recordings and call logs in which the senator admitted she had no evidence to back her claim against the senate president.

 

“So, I had to redirect her back to my question, and she then said it didn’t happen,” Duru said.

 

“‘I don’t have evidence.’ I told Natasha, ‘You are a pathological liar. You have disgraced us, Nigerians’.”

 

She alleged that the senator also tried to link Akpabio to the 2021 death of Iniubong Umoren, a young woman murdered in Akwa Ibom.

 

“It is wicked to try to connect him to the death of a young girl,” Duru said.

Duru said she preserved messages and recordings before the senator deleted them and has submitted all materials to authorities in the United States (US) and other countries.

She also claimed to have petitioned international security agencies, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the Nigeria police.

“The Nigerian police should handle the case of Natasha and her false allegations,” she said.

“She said she wants to force the senate president to step down so that they can remove what they call the Yoruba government.

 

“She said the reason for the fight was not really about the senate president, but about the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. She said they don’t want the Yoruba government to go beyond four years.”

 

Duru described Akpoti-Uduaghan as someone on “a mission to destroy men”.

“She is not teachable. She lacks humility and doesn’t care. If it doesn’t go Natasha’s way, you are her enemy. I cannot watch her destroy our men, our sons, and our girls who are following her blindly,” she said.

‘UNTRUE AND MANIPULATED CONTENT’

However, Akpoti-Uduaghan dismissed the content of the live stream as “untrue and manipulated”.

“I have carefully watched a livestream which was done by one Sandra C Duru on facebook, on May 1st, 2025,” she said.

“The content of the livestream including the voice effect credited to me are entirely untrue, and most manipulated to serve Sandra Duru’s ulterior motive of playing the script of Senator Godswill Akpabio.

“To the best of my knowledge, those words used against Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Dr. Abiola, FIDA and fellow Nigerians as “Gullible and Hungry” are crazy falsehood and did not emanate from the natural cause of any contact involving me.

“It was from recent research that I also found out that the person who now represents herself as Sandra Duru is the same person who operated as Prof. Mgbeke on Facebook.

“In the nearest of time, I will respond to the unfounded allegations made therein.”

On March 6, the senate suspended the Kogi central lawmaker after she had an altercation with Akpabio over seating arrangements.

On April 14, Olisa Agbakoba, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and lawyer to the senate president, wrote a letter to Akpoti-Uduaghan demanding a retraction of her sexual harassment allegation against Akpabio.

Agbakoba, a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), asked the senator to provide evidence supporting her claim that Akpabio sexually harassed her on December 8, 2023.

Responding in a letter dated April 30, Akpoti-Uduaghan criticised Agbakoba for what she described as a double standard, noting that his client’s legal team had relied on the sub judice rule to block a senate investigation, yet had now resorted to the media to demand answers.

Nigerian-British social media influencer dies after $9,000 penis enlargement procedure in Thailand

Published

By


Igho Ubiribo, a Nigerian-British businessman and social media influencer, has reportedly died after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure during a luxury trip to Thailand.

According to findings from an inquest in the United Kingdom, 43-year-old Ubiribo died after the cosmetic treatment triggered a fatal pulmonary embolism.

The businessman, who was also known as “Tiny”, “Denisi” and “Ego”, was on holiday in Bangkok with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, when he decided to undergo the procedure.

Reports from the inquest revealed that doctors injected about 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine into his penis at an unnamed clinic in Thailand in March.

After the procedure, Ubiribo and his wife reportedly returned to their Marriott hotel, where they went for a massage.

It was during the massage that he complained of chest pain before collapsing and losing consciousness.

He was rushed to Sukhumvit Hospital, where he was initially able to respond to medical staff.

His wife reportedly informed doctors that he had recently undergone penis filler injections, prompting concerns that the procedure may have been linked to his condition.

Medical personnel suspected a pulmonary embolism and recommended further scans, but Ubiribo reportedly lost consciousness before the examination could be completed.

Doctors later transferred him to intensive care, where attempts were made to revive him through prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

He was pronounced dead in the early hours of March 6.

A postmortem examination conducted in the UK later reportedly found material in Ubiribo’s lungs consistent with the hyaluronic acid used during the penis filler procedure.

Pathologist John du Parcq told the inquest that the substance discovered matched the material injected during the cosmetic treatment.

He said the findings supported the conclusion that Ubiribo suffered a pulmonary embolism caused by the procedure.

The coroner, Jean Harkin, subsequently ruled that the businessman’s death was caused by a pulmonary embolism linked to the cosmetic injection.

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot or other material blocks a blood vessel supplying the lungs, potentially causing sudden breathing difficulties, heart strain and death.

During the inquest, information from Ubiribo’s doctor in London showed that he had previously undergone joint surgeries and had been described as pre-diabetic and suffering from gout.

However, his doctor reportedly said he had no other major medical conditions.

Penis fillers containing hyaluronic acid are marketed as a non-surgical option for increasing girth, but medical experts have warned that injectable cosmetic procedures can carry serious risks if complications occur.

Ubiribo was known for showcasing his luxury lifestyle on social media, where he had about 185,000 Instagram followers.

Reports said he owned a home in Los Angeles valued at about $1.1 million and a London apartment reportedly worth around $600,000.

He married Zimbabwean fashion designer Danielle Simba Allen in a lavish ceremony in 2022.

Following his death, Ubiribo was buried in London in a gold coffin, with reports claiming the funeral arrangement cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Afrobeats singer Davido, who was described as a childhood friend of the businessman, attended the funeral and paid tribute to him.

The case has renewed attention on the potential dangers associated with cosmetic procedures involving injectable fillers, after medical evidence linked the treatment to the fatal complication.

Help locate my husband! 68-year-old British woman cries out as 31-year-old Nigerian lover disappears after arriving UK

Published

By

For 68-year-old British citizen, Dawn Ottewell, it was literally love at first sight after she hooked up with 31-year-old Nigerian, Bright Emokpae on a popular dating App, Tinder.

But what began as a love story conceived in heaven and consummated on earth has ended in heartbreak and a desperate search for answers.

At the beginning,  Dawn, who obviously was consumed by love, quickly made efforts to facilitate Emokpae’s movement to the United Kingdom after their wedding.

But soon after he arrived in the UK on a spousal visa Emokpae disappeared into thin air. At the beginning, Dawn probably believed her new husband had simply stepped out and would be back soon.

But it soon dawned on her that new husband wouldn’t be coming back any time soon.

In a story published in the UK Sun, the love-struck 68-year-old said she met the Edo State born Bright when she was at the lowest ebb in 2021 and he brightened her life with love.

At the time, Bright Emokpae was reportedly a student in Cyprus and Dawn went on a visit. The couple eventually got married in 2022.

In 2023 Bright was in Nigeria to complete formalities for his visa to the UK courtesy of papers filed by Dawn and he relocated thereafter.

Shortly after his arrival, Dawn claimed that Bright became withdrawn and was always asking for money from her and added nothing to the sustenance of the home.

The pair separated but reunited in October 2023. According to Dawn, Bright reconciled with her because she  received a £63,000 settlement following a botched NHS prolapse operation. But he bolted from their home once again.

Not willing to put up with Emokpae’s flight from home any more, Dawn wants a divorce but her man cannot be located to sign the papers with Dawn speculating that he may have relocated to Scotland.

“He’s done a runner and is refusing to sign the divorce papers because I believe he wants to cling on to his spouse visa,” she said.

But Dawn’s main worry is that if she dies before the divorce papers are signed Bright could inherit her estate. “My biggest fear is that I’ll die before this is sorted out and he’ll run off with the money my three children should inherit,” she said.

She says she feels Bright simply used her to get into the UK and she’s appealing for help to locate him.

“I feel I’m being used,” Ottewell said.

She added, “I would advise people to be very careful who they marry, especially when the person is from abroad, because a lot of them are just doing it for a visa, and then they disappear.”
