Wife of President of the Senate, Mrs. Ekaette Unoma Akpabio has rubbished allegations of se3ual harassment leveled against her husband, Senator Godswill Akpabio, by Senator Natasha Akpoti in a TV interview.

Mrs. Akpabio, addressing newsmen in a video clip, recounted the cordial relationship that existed between her family and Senator Natasha’s family, as she dismissed the allegations as a figment of wild imaginations.

She maintained that the allegations were unfounded, as she was present at her family residence on the alleged date, 8th December, 2023.

She stated that both families enjoyed a long-standing cordial relationship that predated Senator Natasha’s marriage to her husband.

Mrs. Akpabio urged women to desist from peddling such false allegations as she vowed to seek legal redress on the matter.

A Nigerian man has been reportedly denied asylum in Canada after authorities discovered he was formerly a member of the disbanded SARS unit of the Nigerian Police Force.

This was revealed in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user who claimed to have personal knowledge of the case.

According to the user, Canadian officials conducted a thorough investigation into the man’s background and asked him several questions about his activities while in Nigeria.

The investigation reportedly uncovered that SARS — the Special Anti-Robbery Squad — had a notorious record of extrajudicial killings and widespread human rights violations.

The user wrote: “Canada refused the asylum application of someone I know because he was with the SARS unit of the Nigerian Police before he traveled. They said the unit was known for killings and human rights violations.”

As the post circulated online, concerned individuals took to the comment section to share their reactions.

See some reactions below:

@justkency: “I know someone, a former SARS policeman, who was deported. He is back in Nigeria. Left for Canada with his wife, returned alone. Wife Don waka – true life story.”

@MaziAwkaetiti: “I think this is similar to a recent story of a Nigerian police man who go deported or refused. I saw the post somewhere, earlier this week.”

@SimoncoleB: “As it should be. More focus on Nigeria now by the rest of the world.”

@IamEriOluwa: “They do it for all the armed forces in Nigeria. Awon Canadians n binu gan o.”

@Ishow_leck: “This will definitely traumatize him. Lol. It’s God’s payback.”

@ChukwunyeluOrji: “why is he seeking for asylum in canada??? is nigeria fighting a war? is his life in danger? the last time i checked, there is very low rate of unemployment in nigeria and inflation is very down, why is he running away from a chaos he helped create??”

@Dharmmie001: “Why is he also requesting Asylum, on what basis.”

@osifekomark: “Canada that has a list of all confraternities in Nigeria, their insignias and how they operate wont know SARS? These countries know us more than ourselves.”

@ChiefiKORO: “The world is keenly watching human right violations in Nigeria. Thanks to social media.”

@LKuntra: “The fact that most governments didn’t interfere/talk about endsars (jurisdiction) didn’t mean they didn’t see what happened. They’re aware, they’re just busy trying to preserve their nation interest. But they’re aware.”

@Great_Eki: “We need more consequence like this extended to politicians.”
