BBNaija All Stars: Tiv Group Demands Venita Apologize For Allegedly Making A Slanderous Statement
Venita Akpofure, a housemate on Big Brother Naija All Stars, has been asked to publicly apologize after she was accused of "defaming" the Tiv Nation by the top Tiv socio-cultural organization, Mdzough U Tiv, Lagos State Branch.
In response, the Lagos State chapter of Mdzough U Tiv demanded a "incontrovertible and unreserved public apology from her while she still has the global media platform" in a statement signed by its president, Engr. Theophilus Ukaa, and secretary, Anagbe Terungwa.
Venita's statement, according to the group, "is not only a falsehood taken too far, but an aspersion cast on not just an individual but an entire tribe."
"This statement is not only a falsehood taken too far, but an aspersion cast on not just an individual but an entire tribe, and we take a very strong objection to this unwarranted provocation against our Tiv tribe.
"The said Venita Akpofure is reportedly a former wife of a Tiv man from an important family in the Tiv Nation, they are now divorced, so we expect that she should know better and despite the facts of the divorce, she is said to have children from her former marriage, as such we expect that she should be an ambassador of truth for her children's sakes.
"That the said Venita Alpeture has decided to band up with evil conspirators intent on image battery of the Tiv Nation and rather champion a course for demeaning her children race, we demand an incontrovertible and unreserved public apology from her whilst she still has the global media platform."
The group continued by saying that it has instructed its attorneys to begin legal proceedings against Venita Akpofure "towards seeking legal redress for this libelous infraction against an entire tribe."
