The owner of Ibadan-based radio station, YES FM, Yemi Sonde has raised an alarm of being blackmailed with his nude video.
In a press statement issued by the ace broadcaster in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, Sonde said the blackmailer claimed to be in possession of his nude videos.
He said the blackmailer sent him a video of him alone in his bedroom and repeatedly demanded sums of money which ranged from N500,000 to N1,500,000, to keep it off social media.
The radio station owner also revealed that the blackmailer contacted some of the broadcaster’s friends with the said video, asking them to prevail on him to send him the money or see him get embarrassed by its release.
Yemi however said he told the blackmailer to go ahead with his threat as he would not part with his hard-earned money to any blackmailer.
The statement read; “I am issuing this release to let Nigerians know that some powerful individuals who are bent on destroying me have orchestrated this blackmail. I don’t know what I did to necessitate this but I know that they will fail.
“I suspect some high net-worth individuals in society who got the blackmailer to go after me, having hitherto sworn to take me down.”
