“I left Nigeria for South Africa to shoot my movie, Nwa
Abakaliki in South Africa on Monday April 7, 2014 with
Prince Ekeh, Muma Gee’s husband. I paid for his flight
and accommodation from Port Harcourt to Lagos and
from Lagos to South Africa. Then at a point, I decided
to move to a hotel so as to give him space and a friend
of mine called M.K said I should come over to her
place at North Gate Estate where I can pay less for my
accommodation because she has a 3 bedroom flat.
So I moved in and met a friend of mine called Prosper
who is actually one of my biggest fans in her place. But
he was also living in a separate room with the lady. As
time went on, this guy started disturbing me for sex. He
said he liked me and would not mind having an affair
with me. But I told him I am married with a child but he
would not let me be. It got to a stage he went to hire a
car to take me around so as to aid my production but I
never gave in to his demand for sex.

Then, on Good Friday, April 18th, I was in my room and
didn’t bother locking my room door. Prosper came in
and tried to rape me but I told him that I am ready to
kill and go to jail if he ever tried it. After much sweet
words and threats, he left me alone and I moved out of
the house to Hilton Hotel, Sandton that day.
On Sunday, April 19th, Prince Eke called me that
Prosper and some people were coming to meet me at
the hotel and I said no problem. Unknown to me, he
was coming with about three policemen. I opened the
door for them but to my greatest surprise, Prosper said
that I stole his 32,000 rand which is about $3,200. I
was surprised because that to me was ridiculous. How
could I have stolen such money when I paid for Prince
Ekeh’s flight and accommodation which amounts to
about $4,000 dollars, not to talk of myself? I was taken
to Honeydew from where I was moved to Ranburg
Police station in Johannesburg on Saturday April 19th
and was released the following day, being April 20,
2014, Easter Sunday.
Why I am sad about the whole blackmail is that it was
after my release that I got to know that Prosper’s job in
South Africa is to con and defraud new Nigerians in
S.A. He would identify strangers who have come with
money for a project and offer to assist. Afterwards, he
would call the police who are also working with him to
defraud the innocent people, claiming to have done
something for them or that they stole his money. He
picked on me because he knows I am a celebrity and
would not want to soil my name.
I was seriously embittered when I later learnt that
Prince Ekeh harboured him in the house I left for him to
stay and that he was on the run because I vowed to
take the matter to court for defamation of character.
When the issue became serious, they started begging
me, sending different people to beg me but I promised
to show them the other side of me because I have not
been able to complete my movies since then. Prince
Ekeh was even threatening to shoot me; that why would
I be telling my friends about the incident and also
queried the policemen who gave me my passport.
Prince is an ingrate. I paid for his ticket from Port
Harcourt to Lagos and from Lagos to South Africa to
help him and his family because his wife, Muma Gee
who has been the only one assisting his career and all
he could pay me with is this cheap blackmail. He was
not even happy that my passport was released to me. I
keep asking myself why? What does he want to
achieve? Anyway, I have told him and his accomplice
who tried to rape and blackmail me that I am taking
this up in a reputable law court”.
