She said, “My attention has been drawn to a fake and malicious news circulating in the social media alleging that I sent my nude pictures to a so-called lover who has now released same to the public.
“My initial reaction was to ignore this completely false and sensational story. However, in the interest of my family, friends and fans all over the world, who have been concerned and embarrassed by these wicked lies, I hereby state emphatically that these stories are completely false and the handiwork of some wicked and mindless people.
“I have never and I will never share my nude pictures with anyone. Not even in my long acting career have I accepted a nude role.
“I am an actress, movie producer and role model of international standing with over 2 decades of hard-earned reputation. In defence of this profile and in order not to grant victory to evil doers, I am now taking steps to bring in law enforcement and cyber security experts in Nigeria and Internationally to get to the root of this malicious act and bring the shameless perpetrators to justice.
“Following the advice of my lawyers and security agents, I will not be making any further comments on this until otherwise advised.
