Mr Jollof claims Akpoti's voice was cloned

According to Mr Jollof, the controversy surrounding the voice note is not new. He pointed to a report from 2025 in which Akpoti formally notified authorities that her phone number had been hacked and her voice cloned, presenting what he described as documentary evidence of the filing.

Mr Jollof further disclosed that he personally had two encounters with calls coming from Akpoti's number, and that the voice on the line sounded convincingly like hers. After reaching out to the senator directly, he said she confirmed the situation and advised him to block the number.

In his words:

"Say na Senator Natasha's name you wan spoil, God go punish you. Your disgrace na for public. The issue of the voice note date back to 2025; she wrote and reported that her number and voice were cloned. Someone called me with her number; I have had the experience twice. It was her voice. I reached out to her, and she asked me to block the number. When they try to manipulate stories, dig deep; no slander of Senator Natasha will be tolerated in this place."
