In the video, some people were questioning the lawmaker on why he was bathing in the midnight with a traditional sponge and why was it within their community. Owoeye was said to have escaped the wrath of the community members after the intervention of a community leader who pleaded for his freedom on self-recognition. But in a telephone interview yesterday, Owoeye dismissed the accusation that he was caught naked while performing ritual. The lawmaker attributed it to the handiwork of fraudsters who wanted to blackmail him and silence him over a case of fraud. Owoeye said those behind the video had been arrested by police and would be arraigned on Wednesday. He said: “Those who are versed in the antics of fraudsters will know that the video is an advanced state of fraud to blackmail. “I can’t say more than that now, I have been talking since morning. I will definitely speak further on this after the court sitting on Wednesday.” Also, the Commissioner of Police, Adeoye Fimihan, in a statement, said fraudsters were trying to blackmail Owoeye. He said: “God will help Nigeria and Nigerians. That man is a victim of fraudsters. He unfortunately played into the hands of fraudsters, who defrauded him of huge sums of money and later tricked him into that place in a way of getting something and to continually blackmail him, with a view to getting more money from him. “It is not as if he was there to do any ritual. We have arrested some of them (fraudsters) and they have been charged to court.]]>
