Activist Says Sen. Natasha lied about Akpabio, shows evidence

A US-based activist and media personality, Dr. Sandra Duru popularly known as Professor Mgbeke has released what she claims is damning evidence against suspended Nigerian Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

In a Facebook Live broadcast on Thursday night, Dr. Duru displayed phone call logs and WhatsApp conversations, alleging that Natasha attempted to rope her into a plot to frame Senate President Godswill Akpabio for sexual harassment and organ harvesting.

The one-hour, eight-minute live stream came amid rising controversy over Senator Natasha’s recent allegations against Akpabio.

Duru said she has already submitted the material evidence to authorities in the United States and other countries for forensic analysis.

“One, there is no sexual harassment of any kind, two, there is no evidence of organ harvesting,” she said emphatically during the broadcast.

“I told Natasha, you are a pathological liar, you have disgraced us Nigerians. She said Nigerians were G and H – ‘Gullible and Hungry’ and you want to add to their problems?”

Dr. Duru revealed that the senator allegedly offered her a staggering ₦200 million to publicly accuse Akpabio of organ harvesting, linking him to the 2021 death of a young woman named Umoren.

According to Duru, this offer came after Natasha’s sexual harassment claims failed to gain traction.

“Umoren died in 2021. Autopsy was done and there was no organ harvesting,” she clarified, accusing Natasha of weaponizing false claims for political gain.

Duru claimed Natasha had earlier denied ever speaking to her, but she countered with evidence, displaying what she said were call records and messages sent to her via WhatsApp.

“I already wrote the international agencies about a senator that claimed to have known something about the murder of a young lady and she kept it to herself. She must explain what she knows about the death,” Duru said, urging law enforcement in Nigeria and abroad to investigate.

The activist didn’t mince words when describing her interactions with the embattled senator.

“A lawyer that is very lousy and careless in her utterances. Natasha is not teachable, Natasha lacks humility, Natasha lacks moral values, she does not care. If it doesn’t go Natasha’s way, you are her enemy. Natasha is on a mission to destroy men… I cannot watch her destroy our men, I cannot watch her destroy our sons, I cannot watch her destroy our girls who are following her blindly. She called Dr Oby Ezekwesili a useful idiot.”

Dr. Duru also claimed that Natasha confessed her allegations were never really about Akpabio, but part of a broader political agenda to destabilize the current administration.

“She said the reason for the fight was not really about the Senate President but it is about the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that they don’t want Yoruba government to go beyond four years. She said no sexual harassment evidence of any kind.”

Further, the activist alleged that Natasha claimed she had been promised a powerful political position either the governorship of Kogi State or the petroleum ministry if she could succeed in removing Akpabio from office.

Calling on the Nigerian Police Force, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and international security agencies to step in, Dr. Duru maintained that Natasha must be held accountable for what she described as a dangerous smear campaign.

“The Nigerian Police should handle the case of Natasha and her false allegations. She said she wants to force the Senate President to step down so that they will have their way to remove what they call Yoruba government.”
