Sandra Duru alias Professor Mgbeke
By CHARLES IWUOHA
In a bombshell revelation that has ignited social media and rocked Nigeria’s political landscape, United States-based activist and journalist Sandra Duru (alias Professor Mgbeke) has openly accused Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, of being a key sponsor and enabler of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s alleged campaign of deceit, blackmail, and cyber warfare.
Ms Duru’s latest expose has gone viral, pulling national attention to what she describes as a coordinated attack on her person and reputation.
In a fiery statement released via Facebook on Tuesday and shared widely across digital platforms, Duru declared: “The game is up, Natasha and Governor Hope Uzodinma!” She accused Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan of masterminding a sustained smear campaign against her, using hacked social media accounts, manipulated media coverage, and relentless cyber-attacks in a failed attempt to discredit her.
According to Prof. Mgbeke, the evidence of Natasha’s alleged misconduct is damning and authentic. “It wasn’t AI or cloned. Her voice, her guilt, her lies, 7% of which are already public,” she stated, asserting that more than 90% of the evidence remains securely stored but ready for release when necessary.
Ms Duru claimed that the Imo State Government, under the watch of Uzodinma, has been complicit, enabling and shielding Natasha through proxies.
“This is not hearsay. It is documented. I submitted my petition to the authorities before going public,” she said, revealing that official channels have already received detailed dossiers implicating several high-profile individuals in what she called a “vile web of deceit and abuse.”
Duru also confirmed the release of a series of controversial music videos and documentaries titled LIE-TASHA, which she described as an effort to expose Natasha Akpoti’s alleged manipulation and misuse of gender-based narratives to target innocent men.
“I don’t accept bad jobs. I am thorough and very professional,” she emphasized, asserting that the production of these exposés was her duty to the public.
Despite attempts to undermine her credibility, Duru claims she has emerged unshaken and spiritually grounded. “No weapon formed against me shall prosper,” she declared, responding to betrayals she said she suffered from close allies including Maazi Obinna Akuwudike and Emmanuel Uduaghan.
In a deeply emotional note, Duru extended empathy to the families of those involved, stating that she has intentionally withheld certain explosive confessions, including those from Natasha’s own brother, for the mental well-being of their children.
“I carry moral, ethical, spiritual, family, and cultural values,” she said, affirming her role as both a whistleblower and a guardian of justice.
Duru called on the Nigerian government to act decisively. “Now, the government has taken over. Justice will take its course,” she announced, adding that she is prepared to testify as both complainant and principal witness.
As public interest grows and the hashtag #TheGameIsUp trends nationwide, the call for justice reverberates across social media and political circles.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan and Governor Uzodimma have yet to respond to Prof. Mgbeke’s latest salvo.
