According to her, they both met at an hotel in Uyo, where her nude picture was taken and circulated on social media after abusing her sexually.
She alleged: “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 nude picture of me with his cell phone camera”.
Efforts to reach Ekong to comment on the allegation failed to yield results as his mobile phone rang many times unanswered
