A Nigerian TV presenter and model, Emilia Samuel called out a film maker and staff of Linda Ikeji for raping and deflowering her at the age of 16 and 17.
Theo
Ukpaa, a top staff of Linda Ikeji TV, who was sacked from his enviable
position after the r*pe allegation was leveled against him, spoke out.
In
a lengthy note he penned to address the matter, Theo rubbished his
accuser, Emilia Samuel’s claims, insisting that he is innocent and that
he has been framed.
He went on to break down Emilia’s claims, finding fault with virtually every statement as he tried to prove why she is lying.
Linda Ikeji, media enthusiast and former boss to Theo has further written an open letter to him.
It reads:
“Dear
Theo Ukpaa, I have known you for many years and I’ve shown you nothing
but love and kindness and made you the head of my TV channel but listen
my dear friend, if you dare release another statement denying what you
did or calling another one of your victims a liar, not only will I
expose you, I will have you arrested and charged to court where you can
go defend yourself properly.
“These girls – and I
didn’t say girl, I said girls may not have a voice, money or time to
take it up with you but I do, so please don’t test me.
“I
know more than most and right now I can’t tell you how ashamed I am to
have given you another chance in my organization. You weren’t sacked
solely over Emilia’s story. I am not so stupid that I would let go of
the person I relied on the most to help me run my TV channel over a
story by someone I don’t know. You were dismissed last year, remember?
And I’d never heard of Emilia or her story.
“If you
think I am going to seat back and watch you victimize your victims, or
humiliate them further by making them seem like liars, you have another
think coming. What you need now is seek help and if you’re too ashamed
to do so, at least hide your head in shame and don’t dare call another
girl a liar. Please don’t make me come for you, Theo! Be warned!”
