Linda Ikeji fires Theo Ukpaa after Emilia Samuel accused him of rape
Just some few days back, a TV presenter and model, Emilia Samuel accused a filmmaker working for Linda Ikeji, Theo Ukpaa of rape. The lady claimed he raped her when she was 16.
She claimed he might want to deny committing the act, but her model colleagues who were working with her at the time can attest to the allege rape.
Read her post in case you missed:
Here’s what happened to me years back, I forgot about it partially and I ran into his page last week when he got married and the memories came back. He was working at @soundcityafrica as at when it happened and he presently works at @officiallindaikeji please kindly read before you judge and I know most models can attest to this.
Pleaseeeee help me repost this @instablog9ja @tundeednut @stelladimokokorkus @ijeomadaisy @bellanaijaonline @olorisupergal @nigerianwomendiary @generalwayne @chinnysblogng thank you. This is the guy I’m talking about @theoukpaa
The latest development to that story now is that his employer Linda Ikeji TV has relieved him of his job at the organisation.
Read their statement below:
I personally wanted to let everyone know that Theo Ukpaa, who was Head of Programmes at Linda Ikeji TV is no longer a staff of the company. His job with my company was terminated on Monday August 27th just a day after I read the heartbreaking story of Emilia Samuel.
The general public is therefore advised not to transact any business with him in the name of Linda Ikeji TV as anyone who does it, does so at his/her own risk.
Thank you
Linda
