A Nigerian senator Bukar Ibrahim, is not concerned of who thinks less of him following a leaked video of him getting dressed in presence of two women, probably after sex.
Ibrahim, who represents Yobe East Senatorial District, told PREMIUM
TIMES in his first interview since the scandal broke that he owes no one
an explanation as he did not commit any official offence and the video
was only made available to the public after attempts to blackmail him
failed.
In his words:“This is a personal, private matter. What does my having been with a girl have to do with the public? You know the normal thing: people ask for unreasonable things, and if you deny them, they try to blackmail you if they have a way,” Mr. Ibrahim, a former governor of Yobe State, said Monday afternoon.The video was released by Sahara Reporters, and it rapidly caught online frenzy. The footage, showed Mr. Ibrahim reaching for his underwear, after emerging from the shower.
One of the two women showed in the video, were seen holding a device that was capturing the activities; while the other strolled about.
Mr Ibrahim said he couldn’t recollect where or when sexual activities took place, but the room seemed like a typical hotel accommodation. The senator said he owed no one an explanation since he was not accused of any crime.
“If they say I raped, that’s a different matter altogether,” Mr. Ibrahim said. “Is it because I am a public official then I am not supposed to be entitled to private life?” The senator said he knew when one of the women was filming him, but was told it was only for fun and they also wanted to illuminate the room with a camera. .
.
“This is something that happened between two adults.” Mr. Ibrahim, who signed a controversial Sharia law while in office as governor, nonetheless, said he will investigate the matter. “I have commenced investigations to find out why it is circulating,” the senator said. “But from all indications, it is a blackmail.”
