[VIDEO] 16-Year-Old Barakat Recants, Says Sexual Harassment Claim Against Ogun Commissioner “A Misconception”
A sixteen-year-old girl, Barakat Melojuekun, whose video went viral over the weekend after she claimed that the Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Abiodun Abdul-Balogun sexually harassed her, has withdrawn her allegations against the now-suspended commissioner, saying it was as a result of “a few misconception and misunderstanding”.
Barakat in another video obtained by Eko Hot Blog on Monday thanked well-meaning Nigerians who showed her support and love after the first video believed to have been recorded by a police investigator went viral.
“I want you to know that there were few misconception and misunderstanding between I and the commissioner. And I now want to use this opportunity to appeal to meaningful Nigerians to please allow this matter to rest,” she added.
