Social media influencer Omotara apologises in English, Yoruba, Hausa

Motara

In another attempt to win over her remaining critics, social media influencer Omotara Akanni has apologised for the video where she appeared to tease a child beggar with a drink.

Omotara has seen her world take a dramatic turn since the video went public.

Although she has apologised multiple times for her actions, she released a new video via Twitter on Tuesday, speaking in three different languages – English, Yoruba and Hausa – and asked for another chance to be a “better person.”

“It’s been long weeks of lessons for me. I made a terrible mistake and I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I promise to be a better version of myself and be more kind and compassionate. Thank yall for the corrections,” Motara captioned the post.

The Ibadan-based influencer has been forced to open new Twitter accounts after her previous ones were suspended over the video which attracted far-reaching outrage, even to the French-speaking communities.

It was gathered that the video violated some Twitter policies.

Motara was also suspended from her role as public relations officer of a non-governmental organisation Brotherskeeper over the video.

The NGO also announced she ceases to be its member.
