Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A coalition of civil society organizations, the Nigeria Integrity Watch, NIW, has alleged that some women have been camped in a luxurious hotel in Lagos State with the intent of blackmailing Senate President Godswill Akpabio.<\/p>\n

It alleged that these women are being guided and coached to accuse Akpabio of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

A statement by NIW\u2019s National Convener, Dr. John Samuel Nangi, described the plot as a \u201ccampaign of calumny\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the organization, the alleged \u201cblackmail scheme involves the coordination of several women, who are reportedly being housed in a luxurious hotel in Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese women are being coached and guided by individuals identified as blackmailers, with the intent of fabricating damaging narratives involving a new sexual harassment allegation against the Senate President.\u201d<\/p>\n

NIW further alleges that a powerful appointee in the All Progressives Congress, APC, government and a disgraced senator are behind this plan to blackmail Akpabio.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, a network of influential online content creators, social media influencers, and bloggers is being mobilized to disseminate misinformation and propaganda as part of this insidious plot. This orchestrated effort is designed to undermine not only Akpabio\u2019s reputation but also the credibility of the Senate and the entire Nigerian government,\u201d NIW said.<\/p>\n

In light of these grave allegations, Nangi urged key security agencies to remain vigilant and proactive.<\/p>\n

The organization specifically appealed to the Department of State Services, DSS, the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, to closely monitor the situation and take necessary actions to thwart any plots that aim to destabilize the authority of the Federal Republic of Nigeria through falsehoods and malicious propaganda.<\/p>\n

Nangi emphasized the importance of safeguarding the integrity of Nigeria\u2019s democratic institutions, stating, \u201cThis is not just an attack on an individual; it is an attack on our democracy. We must stand united against any attempts to undermine our nation\u2019s leadership through deceit and manipulation.\u201d<\/p>\n
