He sent Kester’s naked photos to the WhatsApp group of the church she attends.
The blackmail suspect also sent the photos to her late husband’s family members and office.
“By the time I am done, suicide will be her only option,” Kennedy reportedly threatened the victim.
Kester, who lost her husband about eight years ago in a car crash, said the businessman, after chatting her up, started showering her with monetary gifts.
However, after a disagreement, he sent her over 50 of her nude photos which he secretly took after their lovemaking in a hotel.
She said the suspect demanded N100,000 from her as a condition to delete the photos.
The mother of two noted that after she sent the money and asked if the photos had been deleted, he demanded an additional N40,000 to delete them permanently, which she sent to him.
Despite the payments, the suspect went ahead to circulate the photos on Facebook.
The second victim, Temi, said the suspect usually had marathon sex with her in hotels while under the influence of drugs, and afterwards gave her N1,000 as transport fares.
She narrated a similar story of blackmail, saying Kennedy regularly called her to demand money.
