Controversies have continued to trail
the leaked sex video of Miss Anambra 2015, Chidinma Okeke which went viral late
last week. Okeke was seen in the video which has been causing negative
uproar online and offline performing a sexual act with her alleged
lesbianism partner.
Okeke however spoke out immediately
after the video began spreading on social media, saying that the video was
actually another person and blaming what appeared to be her appearance on trick
photography.
In an attempt to also save her name,
the beauty queen who handed over her crown earlier this week after the
emergence of the video went on Facebook to say her life was under threat from
her blackmailers who threatened to shoot her dead if she said anything. She was
reported to have vowed to expose the complicity of some top politicians and
government officials in the sex scandal.
In her words:
“They are seriously threatening to
shoot me at the press conference if I ever open my mouth to say the real truth
about the ugly episode.
“Since I have no protection, and if I
die now, the truth will be buried forever, it’s my intention to save not just
myself but other girls and other upcoming pageant by letting the world know the
truth and what we go through.”
A press briefing at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Anambra State council, in Awka, scheduled for yesterday, October 27 for her to state her own version of the sex scandal rocking her could not hold following information that some gunmen would attack the secretariat.
No sooner had the journalists arrived
the venue of the conference than calls started coming, threatening that
some gunmen were on their way to attack the venue.
Meanwhile, tongues are wagging that
some power brokers in the Anambra Broadcasting Service, organizers of the
pageantry are behind ex beauty queen’s ordeal. According to an unconfirmed
online source, Chidinma has allegedly been having an affair with one of the top
management staff of the organization.
Troubled started after she refused to
cooperate with the said ‘oga’, who wanted his other friends to also have a
taste of her. She was said to have been threatened, and could not bear the
pressure any more, hence she decided to surrender the Kia car and her crown.
However the organizers of the Miss
Anambra Beauty Pageant, Anambra Broadcasting Service, ABS, released a statement
condemning the act.
“We wish to make the following
clarifications – “The said Miss Chidinma Okeke who is allegedly linked to the
lurid content in circulation has served-out her term as Miss Anambra 2015 and
handed over the crown in line with the terms and conditions of The Miss Anambra
pageant. “We condemn in clear terms any amoral behaviour/ conduct as suggested
by the alleged lurid content in circulation and do not condone such. “It is on
record that The Miss Anambra Beauty Pageant has been a platform to empower
Anambra women and celebrate our rich culture and heritage.Winners of the pageant
are bound to contracts to be of good conduct and moral behaviour and to
uphold/maintain the honour in their position as queen.
“Winners of the pageant also contract
to refrain from any personal relationship that could appear to hinder their
ability to perform the duties of their office as queen and role model and we do
not expect any less. We therefore wish to dissociate The Miss Anambra pageant
from any discussions on the said allegations. We feel sufficiently perturbed by
the mere reference already made to the pageant and hereby state that we are in
no way connected to the controversy,” the statement read.
In conclusion, they added, “We
apologize to the government and good people of Anambra State, our sponsors,
supporters, friends and all those associated with the Miss Anambra project for
the embarrassment the mere reference to the pageant in the controversy may have
caused; whilst reassuring of the good intentions of the Miss Anambra pageant
franchise.”
Not surprising is also the fact that
the leaked video has been a top trending issue on Google search this week.
