Omokri: How Natsha Akpoti-Uduaghan falsely accused me
Omokri's challenge comes after Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, in a public interview, accused Akpabio of sexual harassment following a dispute between the two.
Omokri, however, alleged that Akpoti-Uduaghan has a history of making false accusations, citing a previous incident where she accused him of sexual harassment in 2021.
In his social media video, Omokri alleged that Akpoti-Uduaghan accused him of harassing her during an official event at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, in May 2014.
He explained that the allegations were fabricated, as he had been out of the country at the time, Daily Trust reported.
"I wasn't even in Nigeria in May 2014. I was in the United States on official duty, and I have the passport stamps and flight tickets to prove it.
"She lied, and after I published my evidence, she deleted all traces of her accusation. She even apologized and paid me a large sum as damages after the matter was settled out of court," Omokri said.
Omokri stated that the recent allegations by Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Akpabio reminded him of the past, likening it to “deja vu.”
“I do not know if her current allegations are true, but based on her past behavior, I find it hard to believe her. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior," Omokri said.
Omokri's call for transparency
Natsha Akpoti-Uduaghan advised to take lie dictator test
In his video, Omokri urged Akpoti-Uduaghan to submit to a lie detector test, a move he believes would provide clarity on the matter and protect the integrity of the ongoing discussion.

“Come out. Take the test. You know, be escorted by one senator that is in your support and another senator who is objective. Until she takes a lie detector test, the presumption is that she is acting on her past behavior," Omokri said.
He concluded by emphasising that his experience with Akpoti-Uduaghan proved that the allegations against him were false, and he believes that a similar approach should be taken now.
“Until she takes a lie detector test, people will continue to remember her for what she did before,” Omokri said.
