Nabbed! Student Who Threatened Salawa Abeni With Her Nudes

A 19-year old student of Yaba College of Technology, YABATEH who blackmailed veteran singer, Queen Salawa Abeni has confessed that his own mother unknown to her cursed the blackmailer when she heard the news of the incident.

The culprit, Olufowoke Emmanuel was apprehended by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS on Thursday.

Emmanuel, a National Diploma holder in  Electrical Engineering, from the Yaba College of Technology, was arrested at Brentfield Avenue, Peace Estate, Magboro, Ogun State, by the Decoy Team of RRS, after three days of monitoring him.

The blackmail came to light after Abeni, announced on her Instagram page, on April 1, 2020, that she received the Whatsapp text message from the blackmailer threatening to circulate the semi-nude photographs unless she negotiated.

Abeni in a riposte released the images herself.

Confessing his misdeed, Emmanuel said:

“I  saw the nude pictures in a memory card which I  picked up on the floor in Yabatech, sometime in November 2019. After downloading the nude photographs on my phone, I  picked up her mobile number from her Instagram page.

“On April 1, 2020, I chatted her up and also called her after sending a few of the photos to her, online. My intention was to negotiate with her for a few bucks and destroy the photographs.

“I thought everything was going on fine until the following day when I heard the news of the blackmail over the radio. I was with my mother who was even cursing the blackmailer unknown to her that I was the brain behind it.

“I immediately sneaked out, destroyed the memory card, and threw my mobile phone and SIM card in a nearby wetland in Magboro. Since then, I never mentioned it (anything about the nude pictures) to anyone nor called Madam Salawa Abeni about it again.”
