Sandra Duru, a United Kingdom (UK)-based activist, popularly known as Professor Mgbeke, says Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended senator representing Kogi central, fabricated the sexual harassment allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Duru spoke during a live Facebook session held on Thursday night, alleging that Akpoti-Uduaghan offered her N200 million to falsely accuse Akpabio of organ harvesting.
The activist said she had audio recordings and call logs in which the senator admitted she had no evidence to back her claim against the senate president.
“She told me bluntly that the sexual harassment allegation was not flying. She said she needed another strategy. Then she asked me to help draft petitions to the UK parliament and the United Nations.
“She offered me N200m and later offered to pay in dollars. I said no. She said some politicians were behind the plot and promised she would be rewarded with a ministerial position or made governor of Kogi if she succeeded.
“She (Akpoti-Uduaghan) wanted me to contact some agencies in the UK and lie against the Senate President of Nigeria that the man killed someone.
“Natasha told me bluntly that there was nothing like sexual harassment, and I was shocked. She said it didn’t happen, that she didn’t have the evidence.
“At that point, I withdrew, and I told her I couldn’t do it.

“I told her to send me whatever evidence she had against the Senate President, so I could vet it and advise her on how to fight the cause, but she disappeared.
“Natasha said this is a politically motivated and sponsored attack against what she called the Yoruba government. She said it had nothing to do with Akpabio, that what her political leaders sent her to do was to ensure that the Yoruba government does not go eight years.
“She said if she gets it done, they will make her the governor of Kogi State or, if that does not work, the minister of petroleum resources,” she said.
Duru added, “She (Akpoti-Uduaghan) said since the sexual harassment allegation was not flying, she came to me with another proposal to help her write to some agencies to come out in the media, alleging that the senator she was fighting is involved in organ harvesting.
“She said that the senator murdered a young woman called Umoren and took the girl’s kidney for his wife. She said if I brought up that allegation, Nigerians would believe it.
“She said all she wanted was for the Senate President to step down, that the Senate President is the one shielding Nigeria’s President.
“She gave me the names of the agencies she wanted me to write to in the United Kingdom Parliament. Natasha alleged that the Senate President of Nigeria murdered someone. Natasha made me understand that she wanted the organ harvesting case to take precedence over the sexual harassment.
She alleged that the senator also tried to link Akpabio to the 2021 death of Iniubong Umoren, a young woman murdered in Akwa Ibom.
Duru said she preserved messages and recordings before the senator deleted them and has submitted all materials to authorities in the United States (US) and other countries.
She also claimed to have petitioned international security agencies, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the Nigeria police.
“The Nigerian police should handle the case of Natasha and her false allegations,” she said.
Duru described Akpoti-Uduaghan as someone on “a mission to destroy men”.
“She is not teachable. She lacks humility and doesn’t care. If it doesn’t go Natasha’s way, you are her enemy. I cannot watch her destroy our men, our sons, and our girls who are following her blindly,” she said.
‘UNTRUE AND MANIPULATED CONTENT’
Meanwhile, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has dismissed the content of the live stream as “untrue and manipulated”.
“I have carefully watched a livestream which was done by one Sandra C Duru on facebook, on May 1st, 2025,” she said.
“The content of the livestream including the voice effect credited to me are entirely untrue, and most manipulated to serve Sandra Duru’s ulterior motive of playing the script of Senator Godswill Akpabio.
“To the best of my knowledge, those words used against Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Dr. Abiola, FIDA and fellow Nigerians as “Gullible and Hungry” are crazy falsehood and did not emanate from the natural cause of any contact involving me.
“It was from recent research that I also found out that the person who now represents herself as Sandra Duru is the same person who operated as Prof. Mgbeke on Facebook.
“In the nearest of time, I will respond to the unfounded allegations made therein.”
