Since the allegations of rape against him by Sugabelly surfaced, Mustapha Audu had kept quiet amidst the whole storm due to the mourning period he and his family are going through as a result of the unfortunate death of their patriarch Prince Abubakar Audu. .
But all these have changed as Mustapha Audu has released a statement as regards the allegations.
Below is the Official statement …
I am shocked and disturbed about these allegations
I categorically deny the allegations of rape whilst admitting to a consensual relationship.
I wish to exonerate my brothers and friends of any wrong doing.
I wish to thank my friends and family for their support as we grieve the loss of our father barely a week ago. It is unfortunate that we have to respond to these sort of wild and malicious lies at this time,This is a case of a very troubled young lady who had been stalking me and had at many times in the past tried to contact and blackmail me. she had initially started this a while back, but we chose not to respond out of respect for ourselves and our loved ones. We tried to ignore this as we neither wished to get involved in her fictitious stories nor join issues with her. However events of the past few days has compelled me to defend my honour even in my mourning period as the emails will later show.
These are some of the excerpts from the emails:
“Mustapha.. basically, I just miss you a lot. I don’t know why.. I mean I do know why but I can’t explain why I stop breathing every time I hear your name, even if it’s not about you”
“I don’t know why I decided to call you. It’s been four months since I last heard you speak. I guess I knew to hear you would make me happy, so I didSay hi to Bashir for me, and to Abdul. Call me Mona”
“you opened the door nearest to me on the ground floor.. Balked when I saw the bed.. I’ve never been good with beds… they scare me… visions of violent rape flood my brain and I get goosebumps… it’s like having no air.. there are reasons for that… perhaps you’ll find out later”
She later said to me that she was raped by her mother then boyfriend at a very tender age, you can now imagine my dismay at reading all her accusations.
I would like to ask, what kind of society do we live in when you are grieving the loss of your father and at the same time some opportunistic blogger is trying to unnecessarily capitalize on this sensitive period in my life to taint me, my family and friends. Sadly the teeming public without any evidence whatsoever or benefit of doubt join the bandwagon of criticism.
I believe the court of public opinion as well as the legal courts will see these stories as false and malicious and declare me innocent.
I hate to think that this is an opportunist move and I would like to put this ugly incident behind me as we continue to mourn.
I have spoken to my lawyer on the best way to handle this matter, thank you.
Mustapha Audu.
Hmmmn…..Orishirishi!
Hmm, this is not over by a long shot, Moji. Let’s sit back, relax and watch how this whole saga plays on. There is definitely more to this. Nollywood producers, this is one for the movies.
Now m confused duno who is lyin huh
Put wet in behind you!!! Hian, if I hear!!!
We need to get to the bottom of this matter. These guys with rich and powerful parents just think, they can get away with whatever they do, they think they can manipulate the public and I hope the public ain’t buying these sh!t, it’s all PR planned and scripted. First they released those post to wet people’s appetite and confirmed their suspicion that the lady is either a scorned woman, being paid by the opponent to tarnish his image or she’s a blackmailer.
We need to start taking “Rape” case seriously, or else other victims will refuse to report their ordeal. This lady could be anyone’s sister, mother, daughter, niece, cousin….
We can’t just keep sweeping matters like these under the carpet.
The story is very shaky but it would really b more palpable if the lady can produce concrete evidence like the the accused just did
M jst confused..I jst hope d truth of d matter s knw sooner….
