A former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan and social commentator, Mr Reno Omokri, has revealed that controversial Kogi Central Senator, Mrs Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, had also accused him of sexual harassment.
Reno, an author, unearthed an old video of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan accusing him of sexual harassment.
The revelation came amidst the raging controversy surrounding the suspension of the Kogi senator, who recently made a similar allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Omokri, who posted the video on his Facebook page on Saturday, March 8, 2025, revealed that the video was recorded on October 12, 2021. It showed Akpoti-Uduaghan accusing while she was campaigning for the Kogi State governorship on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
She claimed Omokri sexually harassed her on May 6, 2014, during a state banquet at Aso Rock Presidential Villa, hosted by then-President Goodluck Jonathan for visiting Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.
But Reno in his rebuttal said he was away to the United States on the said date.
But the now senator debunked his defense, and urged the Nigerian immigration Service to probe Omokri’s claims that he was not in the country at the time.
Omokri insisted that President Jonathan sent him to the United States as a special envoy to help launder the nation’s image in the wake of the Chibok girls saga, which spurned the ‘Bring Back our Girls campaigns.
“I was not in Nigeria throughout the time when Natasha Akpoti accused me. So she obviously lied.
“After newspapers published my evidence, Natasha deleted all traces of her accusation. She deleted everything. She had made a video insulting me, my wife, and my newborn daughter. She also deleted that,” Omokri stated.
