Mr. Okeke said after the scandal sent shockwaves
across the country, the family immediately moved to save Miss Okeke, 20, from
committing suicide.
Mr. Okeke said he handed over his “little girl” to another family member because he had to travel to the family’s ancestral home for another engagement.
He denied news report quoting him as declaring his daughter missing in the aftermath of the racy video.

“I have been trying to make
contact with one of The Sun newspapers that published the story because they
want to sell (market) and I will give them a seven-day notice to correct it,”
Mr. Okeke said.
But The Sun says it stands by its story.
Bruce Malogo, the editor of Saturday Sun which published the story, told Premium Times the headline was appropriate for the direct quotes from Mr. Okeke, which he said were on the record.
“As it stands now, my daughter is still a small girl. I don’t know whether she is still alive or dead. But all I know is that God will prove Himself worthy to fight His children’s battle. I don’t have much to say for now,” the paper quoted Mr. Okeke as saying.
Mr. Okeke, however, maintained his ground.
“I did not tell press man
that called me from The Sun that my daughter is missing or that I couldn’t find
her,” Mr. Okeke reaffirmed.
Specifically, Mr. Okeke said he told The Sun
reporter that the family was holding on to God for a breakthrough in the wake
of the scandal.
“I will allow them (police)
to do that (their job), but I know my daughter was drugged by some people who
took advantage of her as a young woman.”
