Some of The journalists who had waited had to leave in fear as it was not clear if it was true, and for fear that if she came, her attackers may also extend their aggression to journalists.
Attempt to get her Lawyer to speak also failed, but www.elekenews.com went after him and succeeded in catching a telephone interview with him.
Barr Ikenna Obidiegwu, counsel to Miss Chidinma Okeke, winner
of 2015 most beautiful girl in Anambra pageant yesterday stated that her client’s
blackmailers were powerful people, and that at the appropriate time, their
identity would be unveiled.
Obidiegwu spoke to www.elekenews.com on phone after a scheduled press
briefing by Miss Okeke was stalled as a result of her inability to attend the
briefing.
www.elekenews.com learnt that she could not brief journalists as a result of alleged threats to
her life, over scandalous sex tapes that were leaked recently, in which she was
captured in a lesbian act with another lady.
The videos which have generated huge uproar from members of
the public were allegedly circulated by some people, who were accused of having
serially blackmailed the queen.
As early as 11:30am, journalists who were invited to the NUJ
Press Centre for the briefing were all ready for the briefing, in anticipation
of the beauty queen’s arrival, when suddenly words went round that she would no
longer address the press on account of threats to her life.
A message sent by the embattled
queen using her Facebook account reads in part, “The moment I made public this
intention to speak with journalists, I have been under siege of threats by my
blackmailers and traducers.
“They are seriously threatening
to shoot me at the press conference if I ever open my mouth to say the real
truth about the ugly episode. Since I have no protection and if I die now the
truth will be buried forever, it's my intention to sacrifice myself to save not
just myself but other girls and other upcoming pageant by letting the world
know the truth and what we go through.”
The queen cried that her traducers
have continued to assemble all manner of expertise and professionals to edit
the video and send them in batches, and that she will not be surprised if more videos
resurface.
Meanwhile, her counsel, Barr
Obidiegwu told www.elekenews.com in a telephone interview that his client had to stay
away from the press briefing after his attempt to get the Anambra State police
commissioner, Mr Sam Okaula to provide security for the queen failed.
“The commissioner said the notice
was too short, and that he cannot mobilize police security for the queen
immediately.”
He denied reports that his client
has been smuggled out of the country to Ghana, saying he was with her just 30
minutes before speaking to our reporter.
Obidiegwu said his client was
passing through a very trying phase in her life and called for prayers from
Nigerians to help her pill through.
Meanwhile, the organizers of the
Miss Anambra Beauty Pageant, Anambra Broadcasting Service(ABS) while speaking
through MD and CEO, Nze Uche Nworah said the management will speak at the
appropriate time on the matter.
