Popular actor and cerebral film maker, Prince Eke says he wouldn’t bandy words with actress Angela Okorie who accused him, in an interview with ENCOMIUM Weekly, on Wednesday, May 7, 2014 of setting her up in South Africa, while shooting a movie for her.
Responding to our inquiries on some of the issues the actress raised, Eke sent us an exclusive press statement where he rather apologized to his fans, family and colleagues for entangling himself in the ignoble scandal.
He wrote: “My fans, family, friends and colleagues ,my sincere apology to you all for finding myself in this messy situation out of the fact that I wanted to help an up and coming artiste to realise her dream in movie making in South Africa ,which I consider as giving back by helping others grow. This is not the first time I am doing this. I have always been into charity works but unfortunately this has put me and my name in a messy situation just because I had to speak the truth. I say so because morally, I couldn’t stand to see or witness another man messing around with another man’s wife. This is just the crime I committed and the lady involved is now dragging my name in the mud, saying she got me passport to travel to South Africa. For heaven’s sake, I flew United Airways to Houston on January 30, 2014 to film. I proceeded to Maryland, where I shot another movie directed by Kingsley Ukaegbu, featuring Best Davies, Moses Efret and Oge Okoye. I returned to Nigeria on March 13, 2014.And this was three weeks before the South Africa trip.
So, it’s stupid for someone to say she got me a passport. It is very sad that when you try to support people to grow, they turn around and stab you at the back. $1,000 my foot! This is one who actually begged and pleaded that she can’t afford to pay me, that I should help her. I still have a munched copy of the SMS she sent with her phone number.
On the issue of paying my flight to South Africa, professionally a producer is responsible for flights, accommodation, and welfare of artistes during a production. So, she wasn’t doing me a favour.
Why would she say I connived with Prosper to blackmail her? Come on, that’s too cheap! This is someone I even persuaded an American based director (Kingsley Ukaegbu ) to feature in a movie I have been booked to film in Maryland by July 2014. What more can one do to satisfy people on earth?.I also have a munched copy of my conversation with Kingsley. So, what could have gone wrong for one to think that I can blackmail her? Besides, she first introduced Prosper to me as her boy friend. How now could he be more of my friend than hers.
My advice to you, Angela Okorie is, ‘Please, get a life .It is not too late for you to repackage yourself into becoming a virtuous woman. That way, you will regain your lost dignity with ease. I don’t wish to be mentioned in this matter any longer. And please, be warned! This should be between you and Prosper because only the two of you what transpired’. And to my fans, family and friends, I am sorry for being mentioned in such a dirty topic. I stand to be corrected .God bless you all”.
Prince Eke has been at the centre of stealing and adultery allegation against the pretty Holy Serpent actress and producer of Nwa Abakiliki in South Africa. Alleged to have connived with one Prosper Ojinnaka who claimed he slept with the sweet- faced and sexy, Ishiagu, Ebonyi born mother of one child to blackmail her, embittered Prince Eke has now washed his hands off the saga. He even warned Angela not to cross his path.
With husband, Chukwuma Orizu voicing out his support for her embattled spouse, Angela has continued to deny stealing Prosper’s 32,000 Rands ($3,200). She also wondered how she would have anything to do with a man she practically fed and catered for all through her stay in late Mandela’s country.
