Ufuoma Ejenebor

Nollywood actress, Ufuoma Ejenobor, on Monday alleged that she was battered by security men and aides attached to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, on October 29 on Lagos Island.

Ufuoma is nursing two broken nails and fighting to regain her belongings seized by the security men. According to her, the items include a gold necklace, Gucci wrist watch, Ipod, Blackberry Bold and Channels sunglasses.

She claimed that her Nissan Xterra Jeep marked UC 189 KJA was damaged, saying that she would spend N595,000 to repair the vehicle.

“My Apple Macbook Laptop fell during the ransacking of my car and the screen and the disc compartment were destroyed.

“My Louis Vuitton bag was also damaged while my wedding band was broken,” she said.

Ufuoma claimed that on the day she was assaulted, she left her residence in Lekki and was on her way to Gbagada when she met a traffic snarl on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue.

The actress added that she had through her lawyer, Mr. Obinna Ukawoko, written a letter to the Lagos State House of Assembly over the matter.

“I think it was about 3pm Suddenly, I noticed that a black Toyota Hilux truck which has Escort as its registration number, squeezed its way on my right side. Suddenly my jeep was hit violently, damaging the right fender. To my utter shock, the driver did not stop.”

But Ikuforiji has denied the alleged assault by his aides.

According to the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Mr. Lanre Odubote, “Ufuoma was the one that constituted herself into a nuisance to the speaker’s convoy.

“It is not true that her letter was ignored, we are addressing it. I don’t know what she is up to by going to the press. She was the one that refused police intervention.

“She rebuffed all entreaties made to her by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. Lateef Junaid. But we are addressing her issue and we will make our position clear to the public,” he said.
