She called on international security agencies and the Nigerian Police to investigate Natasha’s alleged claims regarding the murder of a young girl named Umoren and noted the senator is bent on destroying men.

Reacting, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan said all the allegations made by Professor Mgbeke were false.

The lawmaker representing Kogi Central claimed all the recorded conversations played in the live stream were manipulated.

As reported by The Punch, she said recorded conversations could never have come from her.

This was contained in a statement issued by her media aide, Israel Arogbonlo on Friday, May 2, 2025.

“I have carefully watched a live stream which was done by one Sandra C Duru on Facebook on May 1st, 2025. The content of the live stream, including the voice effect credited to me, is entirely untrue and most manipulated to serve Sandra Duru’s ulterior motive of playing the script of Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The embattled federal lawmaker promised to address Mgbeke's allegations against her soon.

“It was from recent research that I also found out that the person who now represents herself as Sandra Duru is the same person who operated as Prof. Mgbeke on Facebook. In the nearest of time, I will respond to the unfounded allegations made therein.”
