Ex-senator threatens to sue lady who claimed he ‘made sex tapes’ with her

Elisha Abbo, a former senator who represented Adamawa north, has threatened to sue one Wange David over an allegation that he made sex tapes with her.

In a recent interview, Wange said she made 32 sex tapes with the politician.

She accused him of leaking a particular clip making the round on the internet because “he is the only one that has access to that video”.

But the former lawmaker has since denied the allegation.

In a letter to David, Odiyowvi Osusu, counsel to Abbo, issued a 72-hour ultimatum to make a public retraction and apology or face a suit.

“Our Client has been made aware of a series of videos published on social media and online media platforms to deliberately and maliciously malign his person,” Osusu said.

“Particularly, a video published on the 4th day of September, 2024 on ‘Naija Police U’ and an interview granted to Trust TV News which was published vide their YouTube platform on the 5th day of September, 2024.

“By the said video and interview, you falsely and maliciously used defamatory words against our client, expressly accusing him of sexual exploitation, publishing and distribution of intimate videos, proliferation of revenge porn and blackmail.

“These videos have not only caused significant reputational damage to our client but ore also misleading to the public. The statements and claims made in these videos are factually incorrect and have resulted in unnecessary harm to our client’s personal and professional reputation.

“We have been instructed by our client to make a demand, and we hereby formally request that within 72 hours of receiving this letter, you publish or air an unequivocal public retraction and apology on national TV and in three national newspapers.

“The terms of this retraction must be approved by our firm, and we expect you to revert to us within 24 hours of receipt of this letter.

“You shall also be expected to circulate the retraction and apology on the same platforms wherein your interviews were circulated.

“Save and except we receive a satisfactory reply from you within the timelines as stipulated above.”
