The controversy surrounding a viral video linked to herbal mixture seller Sisi Alagbo has taken a new turn, as her husband, Akeem Adesola, publicly addressed the situation and denied any involvement in its release.
Akeem Adesola stated that the clip was never intentionally shared, pushing back against growing speculation online. In a strongly worded statement, he insisted that neither he nor his wife deliberately made the content public.
According to his account, the situation began as an accident. He explained that his wife mistakenly uploaded the private video while attempting to send a message via Facebook Messenger. Before it could be deleted, he claims, another individual had already accessed and saved it.
Adesola alleged that the incident escalated when the person who obtained the video demanded money in exchange for keeping it private.
He described the situation as an attempt at blackmail, noting that they were pressured to pay to prevent further distribution.
However, the couple reportedly chose not to comply. He said they were advised that giving in to such demands could lead to repeated extortion, prompting them to refuse payment and instead seek help through legal channels.
The Nigerian Police Force was subsequently involved, and Adesola claimed that a suspect was arrested in connection with the case.
He further stated that during questioning, the individual allegedly admitted to sharing the video with others, thereby contributing to its wider online circulation.
The video, which began trending earlier in the week, quickly drew widespread reactions across social media, placing the couple under intense public scrutiny.
In response to the backlash, both Adesola and his wife, Sisi Alagbo, issued public apologies, expressing regret over the situation and appealing for understanding as investigations continue.
Beyond the immediate controversy, the incident has reignited discussions about digital privacy, consent, and the risks of sharing personal content online.
It also highlights the growing issue of online blackmail, where private materials are sometimes used as leverage.
As the case unfolds, attention is now focused on the legal process and whether further action will be taken against those allegedly involved in distributing the video.
For the couple, the priority appears to be damage control and moving forward, while navigating both legal proceedings and public reaction in the aftermath of a deeply personal situation becoming public.
