As the alleged sexual misconduct controversy involving Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan intensifies, journalist and media activist Maazi Obinna Oparaku Akuwudike has alleged that self-acclaimed activist Sandra Duru, also known as “Prof Mgbeke,” of being a serial blackmailer who extorts millions from prominent Nigerians. He also alleged she previously targeted a former Deputy Governor of Imo State.

He also alleged that a voice recording played during the programme featured Chief Oby Ndukwe, President of Citizens Quest, who had earlier defended the Senate President on Channels Television’s Democracy Today. In the clip, the voice, allegedly hers, thanked Sandra and acknowledged receiving financial , reportedly from the Senate President, for a commendable defence.

Obinna condemned what he described as Duru’s pattern of calculated falsehoods and blackmail, alleging that her latest smear campaign is aimed at discrediting Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan in a similar fashion.

Appearing on Adeola Fayehun’s YouTube programme on Monday, May 12, 2025, Obinna said he was shocked by Duru’s claims during a livestream in which she alleged that Senator Natasha had confessed there was no sexual harassment and that the allegations against Akpabio were fabricated. She also claimed Natasha boasted of paying former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, and the association of women lawyers to defend her. Obinna dismissed the entire as fiction.

He revealed that Duru paid him ₦2.5 million to produce a series of documentaries with musical background aimed at damaging Natasha’s public image. However, he said he backed out after watching Duru’s live stream, which he described as packed with lies and malicious propaganda.

Obinna said he initially viewed the job as a routine professional engagement until he listened to the live stream when she stated in her conversation with Natasha, the Senator made anti-Youruba remarks. According to him, the recording had no such content. “She deliberately twisted the message to stoke ethnic division and provoke the Yoruba's against Natasha,” he alleged.

Responding to questions about his intentions, Obinna said his decision to speak out was driven by conscience, not financial gain. He affirmed his willingness to cooperate with security agencies in any investigation.

Obinna also alleged that Duru boasted of having the backing of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and accused her of having a disturbing history of secretly recording conversations to blackmail powerful figures.

I believe you are referring to the point where Natasha will provide evidence of sexual harassment, right ?

Chai.nawao

FEAR my people AKUWUDIKE

Some people, especially Dramatasha's Nairaland G and H defenders, discredit the audio made by Natasha but believe the audio released by Obinna purportedly made by Sandra.

Natasha ed Sandra to help in blackmailing Akpabio. Sandra initially backed Natasha and bashed Akpabio. I suspect there was a disagreement about payment and contract. Sandra moved against Natasha and backed Akpabio. Obinna and one woman were recruited by Sandra to do voice over in a documentary based on a text released to them by Sandra. It seems they did a shoddy job and Sandra requested reimbursement. Losing funds, they moved against Sandra to appeal to Natasha so she can pay.

There is hunger in the land and everyone wants to cash out from this scandal. There are four of such on Nairaland.

What is escalating the problem is disagreement over money. These fights will not end.

We ask Natasha to prove her allegations or apologize for the falsehood she peddled to blackmail Nigerians. With her precedence of fabricating these accusations, she owes the nation evidence or an apology.

To what extent can you believe these so called Journalist? People that we should be able to trust based on their profession are now messing themselves up, throwing tantrums against themselves. I wish police can just round them up, lock them so we can rest on this Natasha-Akpabio nonsense.

WE ARE NATASHANS AND WE WILL NEVER BE INTIMIDATED

Smile. If you're a thief and another thief stole your belongings I no fit pity you.

If blackmailer is blackmailed. It's a joyful thing.

There is a saying that, if you find joy in tarnishing people's image by the time you stop doing that your own image will be brutally damaged.

Natasha allegations is not real and have no evidence. There are some truths in Sandra's coz Natasha first deny knowing or having any conversation with her and that lie was busted.

As someone with functioning brain I Know Sandra will surely sugarcoat and add flavour to her allegations but what I'm happy about is that Natasha meets her match.

For those of you who always anything that's against your perceived enemies, keep it up you'll reap the fruit someday.

Taking Reno own as an example if it were recently she accused Reno, you guys would her and claimed Reno evidence was fabricated, that he really did it and started calling him names.

Natasha is just clutching at straws.

The previous Fransicsca girl and this new one (Akuwudike) are saying the same thing, they were/ are to be paid to do narrations in a documentary styled video.

They are not paid to fabricate evidence. I wonder why they are trying so hard to make it look like they are paid to fabricate new evidences against Natasha?

The way most documentaries are run is that, there is a narrator, who tries to explain the content of a video, the same way youtubers do voice overs explaining a concept.

This one accusing Sandra has not mentioned that she/he was asked to fabricate anything against Natasha, but that they should do a voice over over a series of video which will serve as evidences in the documentary.

I do not believe any of them.

This one is a case of if you fight corruption, corruption will fight back

Let's leave this Natasha's matter please

Natasha, bring your proof now. What happened to court case against Akpabio? Dem suppose put you for Yaba left.

I don tire for all the reports bearing Natasha's name. Na she be the first mixed race woman for Nigeria? We laugh at Ghanaians for worshipping biracial people, yet we are as simple minded.

Y e b say na only people from one tribe them dey hire for this their dirty job?

From oby ezeks
Sandra duru
The other guy n this one

Is it love of money or something?
