Co-presenter of TVC’s Your View show Obiajulu Ugboh has debunked the rumour that her husband was Obiajulu Uja who was arrested on an Ibom Air aircraft on March 31 for disrupting public peace with his anti-Bola Tinubu chants.
After the suspect was arrested by Abuja airport authorities, a certain tweep with the handle @festiveplug claimed Mrs Ugboh was “Lilian Obiajulu, the Ibom Airline APC propaganda actor.” He falsely claimed that she previously worked at Inspiration FM and Wazobia FM.
Mrs Ugboh, however, knocked the tweep in her response on Instagram over the weekend. She said, “How can you look at these two pictures and call them the same person?
“How do you guys send out fake news like this without proper investigation? You see why some people are saying social media should be regulated?
“If I sue somebody now, they start posting hashtags! Please and please, my name is Obiajulu Olabisi Ugboh (BeeCee Ugboh). My husband was never on Ibom Air neither is he politically inclined or accosted in any way! He is not the man making rounds on social media as Obiajulu Uja.”
The journalist added that she was not in any way connected to the said man on the aircraft, directing the tweep to remove her picture from the post.
Ugboh’s co-host Morayo Afolabi-Brown wrote in the comment section, “We need to sue this guy. This is pure defamation and we must report to the police. We can’t let this slide. These rumour mongers must be prosecuted.”
She also reposted Ugboh’s Instagram post.
A co-host on the show Yeni Kuti also debunked the claim on her Instagram page.
