A Nigerian broadcaster has found himself in serious controversy after he was exposed for allegedly dating and duping single ladies on Facebook.
Iniabasi Bassey Asuquo
A Nigerian man identified as Iniabasi Bassey Asuquo has apologized after he was exposed to have deceived more than three woman with marriage proposals even though he was married and had three kids.
Asuquo was alleged to have even asked one of the girls to marry him as he hid his marital status from her. The ladies took to Facebook to expose the cheater after they alleged he duped them.
One of the women identified as Lydia Chidiebere Idam wrote long epistles bashing Asuquo for his deception. She narrated how Asuquo frequented her house to fulfil his needs and collect money from her, including the shocking lies he told her about his supposed family. She also revealed screenshots of their chats as they have been in a relationship for a long period of time. Asuquo who initially denied it was overwhelmed by the revelation of different women he had allegedly duped who accused him of collecting money from them and proposing to them.
Asuquo exposed
Writing a long post, Natalie Ewaen, said Asuquo not only dated several women, but duped them as well.
Ewaen wrote: “Let me tell you my story. I dated one guy who also doubles as a family friend; we kinda grew up together. While we were in the relationship, bros was planning a wedding to an ex he denied vehemently. Because we were in different countries, it was very convenient. Smh.
I thought I went through betrayal, but that’s nothing compared to the new trend on social media. MARRIED MEN POSING AS SINGLE MEN and not ending there, THEY ARE ACTUALLY PROPOSING TO THE WOMEN THEY’RE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH.
The evil some of you do amazes satan!!! Like the case of this man Iniabasi Bassey Asuquo. He actually dates multiple women at the same time, visits them in their different locations, goes down on one knee and pops the question, duped some very unfortunate ones and then moves onto the next girl.
Is this a generational curse or something? You people should help me answer? What kind of wickedness will make a man go around denying his wife and children, and proposing to different women across Nigeria?
Mr Iniabasi, your game is up! You and the many men who troll women on social media, doing the work of Satan. You are not worthy enough to have a family, people like you should be dumped in a psychiatric home and not allowed visitors till the day they die. I hate callous, conscienceless people. I detest deceit with all my life. Tell me you’re married let me choose to date you “at owner’s risk”.
Tell me you’re tired of a relationship (or marriage) let me choose to walk or stay and don’t be living parallel lives. Sorry to say this to his wife….Madam, you don’t have a husband: you have a f*ckboy living in your home.
Women be careful, there are many devils on Social media. Sometime you cannot do enough research, some dudes are very smart as they even allow you visit or stay with them for sometime. I don’t know how they manage this though….#evilhearts. Please share so his next victim (and others like him) will be warned. #godlesshumans.”
Revelation that nailed Asuquo
Also writing more details of Asuquo's nefarious activities, Solomon Buchi Bartholomew who is a close friend of Asuquo and knows the man's wife added: "I am not a drama fan, and try my best to stay away from any form of social media drama, but at this point, I have to speak out about the trending brouhaha that involves two of my friends on here, Lydia Chidiebere Idam and Iniabasi Bassey Asuquo. I'm doing this because I have to say the truth and correct those speaking ill of Lydia. Lydia never knew Iniabasi was married.
I decided not to let her know. What did I do?
That same day, I inboxed Iniabasi and spoke to him like man to man, I told him I wasn't gonna tell anyone, he should just break up with Lydia, because he's married and he knows the relationship will lead to nowhere. Unfortunately Lydia saw it leading somewhere because she told me he proposed and also mentioned her to his alleged elder sister who according to him is the only surviving member of his family.
Iniabasi denied ever having anything to do with Lydia. He denied proposing, he denied everything. Instead he turned the tables and said Lydia is the one who wants him. I wasn't happy because I wanted helping this man. I expected him to say the truth and we trash it off but he lied. Well, I said nothing.
It wasn't so long that same afternoon, Lydia inboxed me, telling me he just called to break up with her. And when she enquired: he said it was for personal reasons. Lydia was heartbroken, how a man will wake up from the blues and just break up with her, so Lydia asked me to talk to him, that no matter what it is, they can work it out. Why the abrupt break up?
Remember, that I haven't even told Lydia he's married. So she was acting based on the false reality that he is single. That's why she wanted him back.
Who wouldn't be pained and want another trial if the one you love just suddenly gets rid of you?
You'll want to know what you did, you'll want to know how you can make things work again..
From what I observed, it was taking Lydia time to forget this guy because she just wanted something positive to happen again. So I decided to tell her the truth, so it'll help her move on. I was scared, but I had to. One morning I blew it out to her that he's married and I know his wife and three children.
Lydia was almost getting mad. Her voice, in fact I know she cried. She was confused, surprised and afraid that a man could be so deceitful. Lydia shouted on phone. I made her understand that I divulged it to her so to help her move on.
So that was how Lydia knew that Iniabasi is married.
The only thing she was now after was how to get her money from him. She borrowed some 130k to him last year for an alleged radio permit bla bla bla. So I ensured her that he'll pay.
Later she told me that he's paid part.
It wasn't too long. Lydia made findings from where I don't know and discovered that this man has been doing same to some ladies. She told me that she's found some ladies who have same experience with him. I was shocked but I tried my best not to let this whole stuff escalate in public, because I know the consequences on his image.
I had to write this because since this issue went viral, Lydia's name has been soiled. Saying she was desperate and she knew he was married, that's false. People should stop involving themselves in what they know little about. Not because you see a drama, you feel it's just that superficial.
Lydia didn't know. She wasn't desperate. She borrowed the money to him out of love a woman would have for her man, she didn't do that because she was desperate.
I thought it wise to post this because it'll be wicked that I know the truth and still keep quiet in the bid not to involve in drama. It's better I involve to save an innocent one, than watch her reputation marred. Last night Lydia's family member had to inbox me to tell me that her family believes she purposefully had an affair with a married man and it's causing issues.
I pray her family members see this post and get understanding about how it all happened.
Thanks people."
Asuquo finally apologies
After it became obvious that he has been caught in his own game, Asuquo issued an apology saying: "Enough has been said yesterday and today about me. But then, we are humans and we make mistakes, learn from it and then move on.
To my family members and friends who felt humiliated by this, I tender an unreserved apology.
Yes, there was an affair, a mutual one at that, which I have not denied. I read somewhere where they said it is 18+ ladies. Well, I don't know where the poster got that from but that is not the issue now.
As for the fraud allegations by these ladies (Lydia Chidiebere and Preye Clever), let me state it here that it did not happen and I need them to clarify the public about that by putting up a post to that within 24hrs from when this post was made because it is a very serious allegation.
I understand that the backlash am receiving is because I broke up when I realised that what I was doing was wrong. I apologize for that.
I have learnt my lessons, this has also given me an opportunity to know some of those I call my friends and this won't repeat itself again.
Mind the kind of friends you keep. Be careful of who you call your friends, I am not saying you should not have friends but evaluate them properly.
Thanks to those of you who called, sent messages suggesting on how to put an end to this. Your calls and messages kept me strong. I appreciate you all. This is the time to move on. I have also forgiven all those who made or said who also came up with stories that are not true just to make sure they follow the trend. I appreciate everyone here and hope you guys out there will learn from it.
Finally, to Mr. Imoh David, I understand how you feel about that write up, sorry brother and thank you for your maturity. To Emii Bountiful, Mgbo Mma UdeAbara, Kate Bassey, Ibiene Bato Martha Williams and others who tried as much as they can to be fair in this, I say thank you to you guys.
This too shall pass away. Thank you all and God bless. That's all I have on this."
The story is still trending on social media as women have been advised to take precautions when dealing with people on social media to avoid falling victim to scammers.
