Linda Ikeji threatens to expose, sue former staff Theo Ukpaa over rape allegations
Theo Ukpaa, Emilia Samuel, Lnda IkejiPopular blogger, Linda Ikeji, has written an open letter to hir former senior staff, Theo Ukpaa, who is facing allegation of rape.
One Emilia Samuel had accused Theo of raping her and taking her virginity away at just the age of 16.
The allegation against Ukpaa came just two days after his wedding. Emilia, who is now married with two children, had revealed that her path and Theo’s crossed when she made it to the top three of a spice girl competition organised by entertainment channel, Soundcity.
Emilia had in a post on Instagram revealed that she already went past the trauma but had to relive it when she came across Theo Ukpaa on social media.
However, Ukpaa released a statement, stating that it would have been “entirely impossible” for him to have raped Emilia at the time.
A few hours after Theo’s statement hit the Internet, Linda came out with an open letter to him.
Linda Ikeji, who is currently in the United States to birth her first child, had sacked Theo as Head of Programmes at Linda Ikeji TV, in 2017.
In the letter, which was released on Friday on her blog, Linda warned Theo that if he does not stop calling his rape victims liars, she will get him arrested..
She also alleged that he has abused a string of “girls”, not one “girl.”
Linda’s letter read: “Dear Theo Ukpaa, I have known you for many years and I've shown you nothing but love and kindness and made you the head of my TV channel, but listen my dear friend, if you dare release another statement denying what you did or calling another one of your victims a liar, not only will I expose you, I will have you arrested and charged to court where you can go defend yourself properly.
“These girls – and I didn't say girl, I said girls – may not have a voice, money or time to take it up with you but I do, so please don't test me.
“I know more than most and right now I can't tell you how ashamed I am to have given you another chance in my organisation. You weren't sacked solely over Emilia's story. I am not so stupid that I would let go of the person I relied on the most to help me run my TV channel over a story by someone I don't know. You were dismissed last year, remember? And I'd never heard of Emilia or her story.
“If you think I am going to sit back and watch you victimise your victims, or humiliate them further by making them seem like liars, you have another thing coming. What you need now is seek help and if you're too ashamed to do so, at least hide your head in shame and don't dare call another girl a liar. Please don't make me come for you, Theo! Be warned!”
