Ex-Minister Bukar Abba Ibrahim Reacts to Sex Alleged Scandal

Former governor of Yobe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim has now owned up to a 2 minute scandulous footage that showed him reaching for his underwear after emerging from the shower in the presence of two women in a room presumably after sex. Defending himself, he is saying that what he does with a lady inside a room is not anyone’s business and that he doesn’t owe anyone anyone explanations.

In an interview with Premium Times today he said:

“This is a personal-private matter. What does my having been with a girl have to do with the public? You know the normal thing: people ask for unreasonable things, and if you deny them, they try to blackmail you if they have a way. If they say I raped, that’s a different matter altogether.

Is it because I am a public official then I am not supposed to be entitled to private life? I have commenced investigations to find out why it is circulating. But from all indications, it is a blackmail”.

The former governor who introduced Sharia in August 2000, said one of the ladies in the video actually told him she was filming him and also using the camera light to illuminate in their hotel room. He says he did not know that the video would be leaked online.

He finally said:

“I have commenced investigations to find out why it is circulating, But from all indications, it is a blackmail.”
