Miss Anambra Beauty Queen Finally Opens Up On Sex Scandal

After weeks of keeping quiet, former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, 20, has finally broken her silence, saying her life might no longer be in danger, adding that her traducers were no longer threatening her life. She also said the faces behind her agonizing period would be revealed soon. .

Narrating her own side of the story, in an exclusive interview with The Nation, she said: “Early last year, the ABS advertised for the pageant. I heard of it and went to make enquiry.  My roommate was also interested, but one of the organisers told me to apply. 

I told them I was not interested but the man insisted that I might win the competition. He also promised to give me the form for free and he did when I agreed to contest. But one Jane told me that before a winner would be declared, there were certain things to be done, including the (sex) video. 

I consented after some persuasion from the organisers. I later went for the contest and won, with a Kia Rio as star prize. When I went for my car, the organisers brought out a contract form for me to sign, but I told them I wanted to contact my lawyer to see it. I was not given the opportunity to do so.

What they kept telling me was that if I insisted on not signing the contract or wanted to contact my lawyer, they would release the video. At that point, I became uncomfortable and signed the contract to avoid such embarrassment, and the car was released to me.

From that moment, I became a slave to them. On October 11, 2016, they called me to come and make presentations inside the office of one the organisers. There, the man showed me the video again. They told me to drop my car and removed my crown from me. 

I told them I would take the car as stipulated in the contract. They insisted I should drop the car. I told my uncle about the situation. My uncle called them and asked them to release my car to me. Instead, they forwarded the video to him as part of the blackmail. That was what happened,” Chidinma said, crying.  She denied being a lesbian, saying she had never been involved in the act.
