A young lady, Fortune Akhuetic, has accused the coordinator of Norland Nigeria, Isaac Alocha, alias Mayor of Norland, of sexual harassment.
Norland Nigeria is Chinese company that offers Multi-Level Marketing Business in Nigeria built on curative Chinese Products, and compensation and benefits plan.
In a petition submitted to the Lagos State Police Command, and sighted by the correspondent, Akhuetic claimed that her Uncle, who is also a registered investor with Norland Nigeria introduced her to Norland Nigeria multi level marketing scheme.
While alleging that Mayor of Norland was in the habit of making forceful, unpleasant and unacceptable sexual advances towards her, Akhuetic further revealed that Alocha had requested for oral sex, while describing his penis as “hotdog”.
She claimed Alocha had sometime ago told her that he was coming to her house to drop some products, and had asked her if she had anything for him when he comes.
Thinking he was referring to drinks or food, she told him she had nothing, he then told her she had ‘pussy’ to give him, a statement which angered Akhuetic.
Akhuetic said that Mayor of Norland had supported his statement with his nude picture with full erection. She said he even boasted that unless she had sex with him, she could not grow up the ladder in Norland.
The petition which was first submitted to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT), Ministry of Justice, but transferred to Lagos State Police Command for investigation.
In the referral letter to the state Commissioner of Police dated August 20, the Coordinator, Titilola Vivout Adeniyi said, “ We refer Miss Fortune Akhuetic to your office for your kind assistance. Miss fortune alleged that one Mr. Isaac Alocha (Mayor of Norland) has been in the habit of making unpleasant and unwarranted sexual advances towards her.
“ She lives in fear of being sexually assaulted. This is a case of sexual harassment, threat to life and assault occasioning harm, contrary to the criminal law of Lagos State 2015. Being a criminal allegation, the intervention of the police is needed in ensuring that the case is investigated and justice is served.”
Alocha, who was contacted for comment, had through a voice note alleged that Akhuetic was the one making sexual advances on him, which he had refused severally.
He claimed that Akhuetic was in the habit of calling him at odd hours, and that she had called him while she was naked and had turned around to blackmail him.
“ Thank you very much for getting back to me to find out the truth. One is that Fortune never worked for me or worked with me. I am a network marketing professional and somebody he claimed to be his uncle who is also a partner with me registered her in the business.
“ She tried as much as she can to draw close to me, which did not happen. While she was trying to draw close to me she started demanding for one money or the other and I tried my best to give her through transfer or in cash.
“ Just trying to help her in the business, most times she will chat me up in the midnight. She had called me personally in the midnight naked a lot of times. She tried to invite me over to her place, which I did not come. I have evidences of all these things that I am telling you.
“ I never went to her, in one of the video call that we made, I discovered that she screenshot my picture because of the ulterior motive that she had and since then she has tried to use it to blackmail my person. She and whoever that is behind her. I have told her that she is not a minor, she is above 18 and I did not touch or come close to her.
“ She only called me on video, she was also naked when she called me, for her to now turn around and screenshot my own and carry my picture and send to different persons in an attempt to blackmail me, I told her it’s cheap blackmail and it’s a criminal offense.
“ I have briefed my lawyer before now but I decided to overlook it but it’s like they are not giving up. After I discovered that she is into blackmailing, I heard it from some of my partners that she tried to drag them but one said he also calls them in the midnight. I discovered that is how she used to live her life by trying to lure men and blackmail them. I will send you one of the evidences, ” he stated.
Alocha also sent a 2minutes record where a group of men were debating the personality of the young lady. Most of them alleged that she was a seductress, and had tried in the past to lure them but they refused to give into her advances.
The Nigerian Xpress learnt that the case is being investigated by the Gender section at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba.
