Popular Nigerian actress, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, has vehemently denied reports linking her to a romantic relationship with Nigerian Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
The actress has threatened to sue those spreading such rumors.
Controversial blogger Gistlover recently mentioned Dakore among a list of female celebrities alleged to be ‘sidechicks’ of the Senate President, including Nancy Isime, Hilda Baci, and Ini Edo.
In a series of posts on her Instagram page, the mother of two refuted the claims, describing them as “wicked lies from the pit of hell.”
Dakore wrote, “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 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.”
She continued, “So for a jobless, wicked blogger to decide to put my name amongst women who have been with this man is 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.”
In a challenge to her accusers, Dakore added, “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.”
Following her statements, Dakore’s lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba Legal, issued a Cease and Desist letter to Gistlover, demanding the deletion of the defamatory post and warning against further slanderous remarks.
