A 30-year-old lady, Ms Paula Lawrence has dragged a known politician Anietie Ekong, who is the media aide to Senator Godswill Akpabio, ex-governor of Akwa Ibom State, before a federal high court, for allegedly drugging her drink, sleeping her while under the influence of the drugged drink and using his phone to take her n*de pictures.
After her n*de photos leak, the lady is now seeking N100m as damages for the emotional, psychological and reputational pain, torture she had been caused as a result of the incident.
Ms Paula accuses Mr Ekong of sleeping with her without her consent in the hotel room. Ms Paula, through her lawyer, Oseini Bamigbaiye, sought the court restraint Ekong from further harassment, threatening and invasion of her privacy and an order compelling him to tender an unreserved and written apologies on all the social media platforms through which he defamed her with the pictures.
Ms Paula, who is a graduate of Theatre Arts from University of Uyo, said Akpabio’s aide drugged and had s*x with her, took her N*de pics and then circulated them on social media after she met him in a hotel in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom state.
Ms Paula said she met Ekong sometime in 2014, during the commissioning of the international stadium in Uyo where they exchanged numbers.
According to her, they later met at an hotel in Uyo, where he slept with her when she was allegedly drunk and took her pictures.
She said: “In the room, he brought out the bottle of red wine from the luggage in his wardrobe. At that time, I was pressed and had to use the toilet. Before I came back, he had poured the wine in the glass. I drank from my glass of wine, while he drank from his.
"When I wanted to drink from his glass of wine, he refused me, saying I should drink from mine. Shortly after drinking I started feeling dizzy and drunk. He made love to me and I slept off till morning. I did not know that while I was drunk, he took N*de picture of me with his cell phone camera.”
Sources say efforts to reach mr Ekong failed as his mobile phone rang many times unanswered.
