As Nedu Takes Steps to Clear Self of Fraud, Sexual Allegations Scandals
Beyond the apology he made at a recent press conference to those who may have been offended by his remarks on The Honest Bunch Podcast, On Air Personality, Nedu Wazobia seems to be taking steps to clear himself of the controversies since he “stepped aside from the show due to personal attacks.”
Nedu, real name Chinedu Ani at the meeting in Lagos to address some issues bothering on sexual allegations and speculations of fraud against him by a social media influencer, expressed remorse and sought forgiveness from those who must have been hurt by his words during his time on the podcast.
Interestingly, the podcast had become a viral theme on social media with each passing episode. The controversies began when a guest on the Podcast made allegations about the sexual orientation of the social media influencer known as VDM, real name Martins Vincent Otse, which led to an exchange online.
VDM’s response then opened a Pandora’s box regarding Nedu, including claims that Nedu through his NGO defrauded a UK-based initiative which connected with him for a charity event aimed at raising funds for scholarship. In addition to allegations that he sexually exploited some female guests, and others he offered roles in his production.
Nedu, through his management team at Tokindrumz, assisted by the Chief Operations Officer, Ms. Sarah Williams-Konha, categorically denied the allegations of fraud and financial misconduct. While announcing his intention to seek legal redress against false claims aimed at him, said Nedu did not defraud anyone with a fake scholarship scheme.
The statement added that the Nedu Scholarship Foundation had been invited by the police following a petition and that the police had cleared it of any wrongdoing and advised parties to the scholarship scheme to seek an out of court settlement.
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan School of Business and Management, UK, which was linked with providing the scholarship in a press clip online, stressed its resolve to push for full financial transparency, accountability, pursue legal action for misappropriation of funding and breach of contract, expose fraudulent practices that undermine genuine charitable efforts.
