‘I Did Nothing Wrong’- Ex-Yobe Governor Reacts To Video Of Him With Two Women In A Hotel Room

Former Yobe State Governor and Senator representing Yobe East Senatorial District, Bukar Ibrahim has admitted he was the one in a scandalous video that showed him dressing up in the presence of two women in a room, presumably after sex.

The Senator who also said that he had not committed any official wrongdoing, added it was after attempts to blackmail him failed that the video was made public.

“This is a personal, private matter. What does my having been with a girl have to do with the public?

“You know the normal thing: people ask for unreasonable things, and if you deny them, they try to blackmail you if they have a way,” Mr. Ibrahim, said Monday afternoon, July 3.

The video was published by SaharaReporters on Sunday, and it quickly caught online frenzy.
As Governor of Yobe State, Mr. Bukar Abbah Ibrahim introduced Sharia Law wish amongst others forbid adultery and prostitution

The footage, roughly two minutes long, showed Mr. Ibrahim reaching for his underwear, apparently after emerging from the shower.


In the room, one of the two women in the video held a device that was capturing the activities; while the other strolled about. But none of them was stripped like Mr. Ibrahim.

Mr. Ibrahim said he couldn’t remember where or when sexual activities took place, but the room appeared like a typical motel accommodation.

The senator said he owed no one an explanation since he was not accused of any crime.
“If they say I raped, that’s a different matter altogether,” Mr. Ibrahim said. “Is it because I am a public official then I am not supposed to be entitled to private life?”

The senator said he knew when one of the women was filming him, but was told it was only for fun and they also wanted to illuminate the room with a camera.

“They just mentioned it to me as a joke and I took it as nothing really serious,” he said. “This is something that happened between two adults.”

Mr. Ibrahim, who signed a controversial Sharia law while in office as governor, nonetheless, said he will investigate the matter.

“I have commenced investigations to find out why it is circulating,” the senator said. “But from all indications, it is a blackmail.”
