Abuja-based businesswoman Laylah Othman and her friend Sadiya Marshall are at war over a leaked audio where the former described the latter as a talkative and troublesome person.

An associate of Marshall is said to have leaked the audio conversation between him and Othman.

Reacting to this, Marshall released a 13-minute video recorded in Hausa on Facebook, warning Othman to mind her business.

Marshall, a commentator and businesswoman, threatened to reveal her friend’s ‘‘dirty secrets’’.

Marshall alleged that Othman, who married Yusuf Gagdi, a member of the House of Representatives, in 2023, has several lovers.

“I have heard what you said, and you said I am troublesome. Let me tell you, and open your ears wide. Never should you call my name or any family member in any of your waffles from today,” she said.

“You know I know who you are and all your secrets. I will expose you to the world if you try me again. Who do you think you are? Calling me a troublesome person did not sit well with me, and I am warning you to seal up your mouth, or I will expose you to the world.

“You started by brainwashing young girls not to respect their husbands and to be feminist in their dealings. You also lied that you will not marry a married man again in many of your interviews on social media. Yet you married a family man now, a member of the House of Representatives.

“You think we don’t know why you married him. We know it is about his money. And you have the plan to divorce him when he leaves office. I know all your boyfriends and what you do to them.”

Marshall accused Othman of sending nude pictures and videos to some of her lovers in Abuja.

She also claimed that her friend had a false identity.

‘‘I dare you to deny changing your name from Hauwa Ali to Laylah Othman. That was your reality, but you changed it because you are not proud of yourself and your family,” she said.

Othman, who turned 38 on Tuesday, had yet to respond to the allegations as of press time.
