Skit maker admits fabricating videos on Soludo’s son, apologizes

Ejike Ofoegbu, publisher of Igbo Time Magazine, has confessed to creating and distributing fabricated videos on social media, falsely portraying himself as Ozonna Soludo, the son of Governor Chukwuma Soludo.

In a video statement, Ofoegbu acknowledged that the skits contained entirely false claims. He specifically retracted a fabricated narrative suggesting Governor Soludo had disowned his son. He also admitted to inventing quotes attributed to Ozonna Soludo regarding his father and other public figures.

Ofoegbu stated his motivation for creating the deceptive content was to attract online engagement and generate revenue through social media platforms. He expressed deep regret for his actions and pledged to retract the false claims on the platforms where the videos were initially shared.

"I am really sorry to Nigerians and to the Soludo family for what I have caused them. I will do everything possible to retract the false claims," Ofoegbu said. As of the time of reporting, it remained unclear whether authorities had arrested Ofoegbu, as no official statement had been released.
