The Inspector General of Police Mr.
Ibrahim Kpodum Idris has been called upon to intervene in the raging
controversy surrounding the genuineness, circumstances and the
individuals that led to the leakage of an alleged lesbian s*x
tape of the winner of Miss Anambra 2015, Miss Chidinma Okeke.
tape of the winner of Miss Anambra 2015, Miss Chidinma Okeke.
Okeke is currently embroiled in a
lesbian s*x tape scandal, which has since gone viral on the internet,
which shows her on a lesbian act with Ada,who is reportedly one of her
close friends and happens to be her personal assistant and also the 3rd
runner up at the queen of democracy 2014.
The National Coordinator of the Human
Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, Comrade Emmanuel
Onwubiko, in a statement issued on Friday, requested that the country’s
policing institution must not stand by and allow alleged blackmailers
have a field day, even as the rights group asked for measures to
safeguard the life of the embattled Miss Anambra 2015.
HURIWA also dismissed as hasty and
totally unacceptable, the decision of the organizers of the Miss Anambra
Beauty pageant to hurriedly announce the dethronement of Miss Okeke as
the reigning Miss Anambra beauty queen even before the law enforcement
authorities could conclusively verify the authenticity or otherwise of
the so-called Lesbianism s*x tape and the motive for the leakage.
It affirmed that the Jungle justice
meted out on the young Nigerian girl on the basis of an alleged s*x tape
that has not being forensically investigated and conclusively verified
and the entire gamut of the ulterior motivation for the leakage
uncovered, is completely antithetical to the principle of rule of law as
enshrined in section 36 (5) of the Nigerian Constitution which states
“Every person who is charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed
to be innocent until he is proved guilty; Provided that nothing in this
section shall invalidate any law by reason only that the law imposes
upon any such person the burden of proving particular facts.”
The rights group expressed trepidation
at the reported decision of Miss Okeke to stay away from a pre-planned
media briefing for fear of her life since she alleged a plot to
eliminate her if she discloses the underlying facts behind the entire
controversial s*x tape.
HURIWA called on Governor Willie Obiano
as the Chief Security Officer of Anambra State to also take measures to
prevent any attempt at silencing the embattled beauty queen.
It noted that a statement signed by the
Chairman, Chief Executive of Anambra Broadcasting Service, ABS,
organizers of the pageant, Nze Uche Nworah disowned the queen for her
action in the video , saying that the pageant was set up to maintain
high moral standard and to empower young ladies from the state.
The rights group further averred; “We
use this medium to urge the Inspector General of police to personally
step into this matter of Miss Anambra 2015 s*x tape scandal by First and
foremost deploying the best forensic investigators to conduct
transparent, open and an acceptable investigation with a view to
unraveling the person and circumstances behind the leakage of the s*x
tape and the reported threats to the life of Miss Anambra 2015 winner-
Miss Chidinma Okeke.”
