Maryam Booth, Nigerian actress, has finally reacted to a
leaked video where a woman believed to be her was seen completely undressed.
On Friday, the Nigerian Twittersphere was sensational after
a less than 3 seconds clip of the Kanywood actress surfaced and went viral on
social media platforms.
The Hausa movie star was caught on camera unclothed while
also trying to put on her underwear. She is then seen heading towards the
person holding the camera the moment she realised she was being filmed.
But in a statement on
Saturday, Maryam accused Ibrahim Ahmad Rufai, popularly known as Deezell, of
blackmail.
The actress also alleged that the video was recorded three
years ago by Deezell, who happens to be her ex-boyfriend. She, however,
wondered why it was released now without her knowledge.
Maryam said she might take legal actions against whoever
that’s responsible for leaking the video.
“I am aware of the current trends and media outrage
regarding the unfortunate leaked video, purported to be me, released via number
of social media platforms, and viewed by thousands of people so far,” she said.
“Initially, I wanted to keep mute until security agencies
concluded their forensic research and investigation.
“The recent statement from someone, in person of Ibrahim
Ahmad Rufai, popularly known as Deezell, leaves me with no choice but to break
the silence. As a woman, actress and role model I will not let this matter to
be swept under the carpet.
“For the record, I want to categorically state that this
same man (Ibrahim Ahmad Rufai) has been, in multiple occasions threatened to
leak my video if I didn’t give him money.
“As a woman, actress and role model to millions, I have been
trying to protect my dignity through possible means, but without my knowledge,
the three-year-old video was leaked.
“In a situation like this, one need to be very observant
before any pronouncement, but it is true that Deezell was my Ex who then
sneakily recorded me while I was changing.
“I am already in touch with associates for consultation,
which may require taking legal actions against whoever is responsible for
leaking it.”
Her reaction comes hours after Deezell had taken to his
Twitter page to issue a lengthy statement, where he denied circulating the
video.
