Group urges UK to deport Sandra Duru over Akpabio, Natasha’s saga

A group, Arewa Youths Progressive Assembly, called on the United Kingdom to deport activist Dr. Sandra Duru for constituting a public nuisance.

Their demand came on amid controversy stoked by Duru when she claimed that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan allegedly attempted to induce her with N200 million to falsely accuse former Akwa Ibom governor and now Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, of organ harvesting.

In a statement on Tuesday, the group’s National President, Shuaibu Usman, and National Secretary, Abdul Kefas Gambo, noted that in her live video, Duru, popularly known as Prof. Mgbeke, claimed she had no contact with Senator Akpabio.

He said that fresh allegations have emerged suggesting that while scrolling through her phone contacts, her recent call log revealed communication with Senator Akpabio.

Reacting to the developments, the youth group said Duru had become an embarrassment and should be deported by the UK authorities.

The group said the alleged discovery of Akpabio’s call log on Duru’s phone proved that she is a serial blackmailer.

Gambo said: “Such character should not be shielded by the United Kingdom. Apart from the now-discovered baseless claims she made about Senator Natasha and her denial of having any contact with Senator Akpabio, she went as far as accusing well-respected Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili of engaging in bribery.

“With the emerging facts, she should be hiding her face in shame, just like her enablers who have refused to stop at nothing to bring Senator Natasha down.

“The United Kingdom, a decent country, should not be a safe haven for such characters, who are hiding under the banner of activism to spread falsehood and instigate chaos in society.”
