Overview
Prof. Mgbeke lied, no proof Natasha plotted against Tinubu’s govt – Ogbonnaya
Media personality Francess Olisa Ogbonnaya has revealed a coordinated attempt to smear the reputation of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, accusing Prof. Sandra Duru, also known as Prof. Mgbeke of orchestrating a blackmail campaign with manipulated audio recordings and falsified claims of sexual harassment. Ogbonnaya made the revelation during an exclusive interview with journalist Adeola Fayehun, stating that she was approached by Prof. Sandra Duru to produce an altered voiceover aimed at implicating Senator Natasha in a scandal.
Olisa-Ogbonnaya claimed that Duru approached her during the Easter period, asking her to publicly discredit Akpoti-Uduaghan through television and social media. She said the request included the use of doctored audio and video materials to suggest the Senator made inflammatory remarks and fabricated allegations, adding that there is nowhere in the clips he received from Sandra where Natasha said she wanted to bring down the Yoruba government. “How do you think Sen. Natasha will bring down the Yoruba government? A Kogi person is a minority Nigerian. They don’t have alliances like that. Sometimes they are more tilted to the Yorubas. Sometimes, the Igalas are even taken to be Igbos.
According to her, Duru paid her N300,000 for the audio production, but later demanded a refund after she removed false claims from the final edit. “She sent me a script and asked me to use my voice to narrate it, but I refused to include parts that could not be defended. I couldn’t put myself or my registered company at risk by promoting lies,” Ogbonnaya said.
