I have never met Senator Akpabio, the first and the only time I was supposed to meet him was at the last AFCON where one of his aides told me he was coming for one of the matches and that I should be prepared to talk to him when he gets to Abidjan.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t see him before he left for Nigeria due to some logistics problems
Sen Akpabio did not suspend Natasha, her colleagues including the members of her political party suspended her for violating the senate rule as a senator
She went on TV to accuse someone of sexual abuse without any evidence but because we ha.te the country and the politicians, many people are not asking vital questions, they’ve been carried away with emotion because sexual harassment is one thing a woman can use to bring down a man anywhere
Is Arise TV a court of law? Why didn’t she approach the court of law and file a suit against Akpabio? Why didn’t she report to the House Committee on Ethics?
So any woman can come out tomorrow and accuse any man of sexual abuse and we will all gather stones and stone the man?
This same woman accused Reno Omokri of sexual assault in 2021, eventually it was discovered that she lied and had to beg Reno for out of court settlement
Former Man City player Benjamin Mendy suffered for many years because of wrong accusations of sexual abuse, Neymar Jnr almost suffered a similar fate, and you think I should believe any sexual assault on a public figure without any evidence?
