Provide evidence or drop allegations against Akpabio, Adeyanju tells Natasha

Published

on

Human rights lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, has called on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) to present concrete evidence to back her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Adeyanju stated that without verifiable proof, Nigerians should not dwell on the matter.

He urged the public to focus on more pressing issues, such as the Tax Reform Bill and its potential impact on low- and middle-income earners.

According to him, solid evidence would lend credibility to Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claims and warrant public scrutiny of Akpabio’s actions.

However, without such proof, the allegations remain unsubstantiated.

Adeyanju also argued that the controversy had been overflogged and should be resolved in court.

He criticised the selective outrage over the issue, noting that there was little public reaction when lawmakers received luxury cars and budgetary allocations.

According to him, “The matter has been overflogged. I believe that the parties should go to court and resolve their dispute. We should focus on Nigeria’s Tax Reform Bill and explore ways to galvanize opposition against its passage, as that is more important than this internal issue.”

He also questioned why the same senators now engaged in the dispute did not oppose the anti-people policies of the current administration.

 

“The question I have asked is this: when all these anti-people policies of the Tinubu government were being implemented, why didn’t these senators—who are now fighting over allegations of sexual harassment and concerns about ’embarrassing the Senate’—speak out against them?”

“When lawmakers were sharing cars in the National Assembly, there was no fight. When they were distributing money and budgetary allocations, there was no fight. But now, suddenly, we are hearing about a fight.”

Adeyanju further stated that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan should, as a matter of necessity, make public credible evidence to support her claims, especially since she has been denied a fair hearing in the Senate.

He said, “Senator Natasha has alleged that the Senate President tried to sexually harass her. Since the Senate has refused to give her a fair hearing, she should present credible evidence to back up her claim.”

“It’s very simple. The man has denied the allegation. So, if there are messages—perhaps invitations or suggestive remarks—she should reveal them and expose him. After all, he who alleges must prove.”

Kidnappers Took Loan With My Phone – Victim Recounts Ordeal

Published

A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.

According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.

She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.

With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.

The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.

She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.

“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps

A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.

The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.

Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.

Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.

In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).

 

The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.

One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”

Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
