Last week the media was awash with an allegation that newly-wed media practitioner, Theo Ukpaa, was fired from his job as head of programmes at Linda Ikeji TV after a woman accused him of rape.
The alleged victim, Emilia Samuel, had taken to Instagram with the allegation that Ukpaa raped and deflowered her when she was 16-year-old.
The mother of two said she met him when she took part in a modelling competition held by an entertainment media outfit.

He stated,
“I am aware of the rape allegation. I am on my honeymoon right now; I will be back to the country next week. My legal team is on the matter. When I come into town, we can have a chat.”
Reacting to the development also, Linda Ikeji sacked Ukpaa while he was still on honeymoon. The blogger said she terminated his appointment on Monday, August 27, after reading Samuel’s story.
