Actress Dakore Egbuson-Akande has denied allegations of an extramarital affair with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The rumors, which surfaced in a recent viral report, alleged Egbuson-Akande was one of Akpabio’s “side chicks.”
In a statement on her official Instagram page, Egbuson-Akande described the allegations as “wicked lies” and expressed shock and disappointment.
She categorically denied ever meeting Akpabio, stating that she has never been in the same room as him.
Egbuson-Akande, who is married with two children, also challenged the perpetrator of the rumor to come forward with evidence, offering a N5 million reward.
She emphasised commitment to protecting her reputation and threatened legal action against those responsible for the false allegations.
“I saw text messages and calls this morning, alerting me to a very wicked lie from the pit of hell. I must say that I’m very disappointed, shocked and appalled. And I want to categorically state that I have never ever met the Senate president in my life.
“I have not had any cause to be in the same room with him, not to talk of being his side chick. I’m happily married with two beautiful children. So for a jobless, wicked blogger to decide to put my name amongst women who have been with this man is totally wicked and unfounded.
“It is a lie and I am ready for any legal action because, at this point, you have messed with the wrong person. I keep to myself, mind my business, I drink water and I do my work. So for someone to want to tarnish my hard-earned name and image for some clicks, no way.
“I’m not going to accept it or going to be quiet about it. I want to put it out there. Anyone who can provide video or audio evidence that I have been with this man, I would give you N5 million right now,” she wrote.
