Reno Omokri Reacts As Sexual Advances Battle With Natasha Akpoti Gets Messier

Published

on

Reno Omokri has offered $50,000 to anyone that can produce picture evidence of his presence at a 2014 State House banquet where Natasha Akpoti said he made amorous advances at her.

He alleged a blackmail plot orchestrated by Akpoti and her unnamed boyfriend.

Omokri responded after Natasha Akpoti debunked his initial denial of her claim that he made advances at her when President Goodluck Jonathan hosted a banquet for Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta who visited the country between May 4 and 7. Omokri insists he was not in the country in that period having been granted leave by President Jonathan for his annual vacation.

Omokri, a pastor, had denied the allegation and released a portion of his passport which showed that he left the country on April 28, 2014. He also showed a stamped arrival date of June 23, 2014.

He had, however, withheld some other portions of the travelling document.

Meanwhile, Natasha Akpoti had ceased on the perceived gaps to drive home his point that Reno Omokri made sexual advances at her saying:

“I couldn’t help but laugh hard at your post which reeks of selective dementia, deceit and misogynistic prejudice.

“You published your passport page with “selected” immigration stamps as “receipt” to alibi your absence at the State Banquet organized in honor of President Uhuru Kenyatta…”

“The Nigerian Immigration stamp of the 23rd June 2014 has SOD and stamped you OUT of Nigeria; not into as you claim. Whereas, the green stamp to the top right reading 23rd July 2014 has SOA and stamped you into Nigeria.

“What does this mean: That you Reno were in Nigeria during Kenyatta’s visit, attended the Banquet and traveled on the 23rd of June which is a month and two weeks AFTER the event; and returned to the country on 23rd July 2014.

“However, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t have entered the USA on the 28th April 2014; but it could have a short day or two trip and returned to Nigeria before the 4th May in time to attend the Banquet.

“As at this point dear Reno, you are yet to prove your date of return from your 28 April 2014 USA travel. This probably because Nigerians will figure your lie and know that you were in Nigeria at the questioned moment.

“You see, time doesn’t move backwards, hence, you couldn’t have been stamped leaving Nigeria on the 23rd June 2014 and arriving the USA 28th April 2014. Impossible.

Following her response on Thursday, Reno Omokri came out with his bomb saying that he had used a strategy to lure Natasha Akpoti into the trap of insisting on her claim by withholding concrete proofs of his absence from the country at that period.

Reno Omokri has also offered $50,000 to be deposited with the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Northern zone for anyone to collaborate Natasha Akpoti on her claim that he was at the presidential banquet where the sexual advance was made.

George said, “I don’t know how many different sofas I’ve slept on – too many to count. I don’t have my life, living the way I’m living now. My health problems since I had my stroke are my biggest worry. All I’m asking for is some kindness from the Home Office.”
