Whistleblower Who Alleged He Was Paid To Defame Senator Natasha Akpoti Has Been Arrested

A journalist and media activist, Maazi Obinna Oparaku Akuwudike, has been arrested by the Nigerian police.
Obinna was reportedly arrested at 3:00 a.m. on Thursday in Owerri, Imo State, in what sources believe is connected to a recent explosive interview he granted to one journalist Adeola Fayehun on her YouTube channel.


During the interview, Obinna revealed that Sandra Duru, also known as Prof Mgbeke, paid him a significant sum of money to produce defamatory content aimed at discrediting Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

Obinna, who clarified his initial engagement with Duru as a standard media production contract, said he became uncomfortable with the assignment after discovering inconsistencies in her claims.

“I received money for producing videos but grew concerned after noticing inconsistencies in Duru’s public statements,” he said.

He explained that after hearing certain controversial remarks made by Duru during a livestream, he decided to publicly withdraw from the assignment and expose what he described as fabricated lies against Senator Natasha.
“All the claims made against Senator Natasha were false and part of a broader smear campaign,” he asserted.

  1. Why was he arrested? They could have invited him and when he fail to show up, then the arrest will become necessary. What if he's saying the truth and have the evidence on his claims?

    I'm not taking side on any of the divide and I hope they won't harass and intimidate him into submission of withdrawing his initial statement.

    1. Teejay,
      Under what law is the Police mandated to first invite a person by letter, telephone call/sms, etc. before going to his home to personally ask him to follow them to the police station for interviewing or to arrest him as reported in the news/post?

      I am here to learn hence my question.

    2. If he lied, he should admit and withdraw his lies.
      If he spoke the truth, he should produce the evidence.

      People who take risky jobs are always advised to keep backup evidence with third parties who can help release it even if the one handed to the authorities is destroyed.

      Then, there are some jobs long throat should not even lead a person to accept.

  2. Using power to intimidate others is always short-lived, no one holds authority forever. Sooner or later, the truth will come to light, even if it’s only revealed in one’s final moments on earth.

    I pray and hope he’s saying the truth and has evidence to back what he said…

    If he’s sure of what he said, he should counter sue

    In the court of Law, he that alleges must Prove
