According to Oladunjoke, he said that he found a memory card which he picked up on the floor of YabaTech November, 2019. It was in the memory of that he saw the nude pictures of Abeni.

After he downloaded the pictures on his phone, he picked up her mobile number from her Instagram page.

He said, “On 1st of April, 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 few bucks and for me to 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, she was even cursing the blackmailer unknown to her that I was the brains behind it.

“I immediately sneaked out, destroyed the memory card and threw my mobile phone and SIM card into a nearby wetland in Magboro. Since then, I never mentioned it to anyone and called Madam Salawa Abeni about it again.”
