Linda Ikeji sacks head of programmes after rape allegations

Pregnant celebrity blogger, Linda Ikeji, has fired the head of programmes, Theo Ukpaa, over accusations he raped model, Emilia Samuel, numerous times.

Linda Ikeji, who is currently expecting her first child in the United States, made the announcement that she has parted ways with Theo on her blog on Wednesday night.

She wrote: “I personally wanted to let everyone know that Theo Ukpaa, who was Head of Programmes at Linda Ikeji TV, is no longer a staff of the company. His job with my company was terminated on Monday, August 27th, just a day after I read the heartbreaking story of Emilia Samuel.

“The general public is therefore advised not to transact any business with him in the name of Linda Ikeji TV, as anyone who does it, does so at his/her own risk.”

Emilia Samuel revealed in a post to Instagram on Monday that she was raped on three occasions – when she was 16 and 17 years old respectively – by Theo.

Here’s what happened to me years back, I forgot about it partially and I ran into his page last week when he got married and the memories came back. He was working at @soundcityafrica as at when it happened and he presently works at @officiallindaikeji please kindly read before you judge and I know most models can attest to this.
