” We apologize to the government and good people of Anambra state, our sponsors, supporters, friends and all those associated with the Miss Anambra project for the embarrassment the mere reference to the pageant in the controversy may have caused while reassuring of the good intentions of the Miss Anambra pageant franchise”.

The management added that, ” the said Miss Chidinma Okeke who is allegedly linked to the lurid content in circulation has served out her term as Miss Anambra 2015 and handed over the crown in line with the terms and conditions of the Miss Anambra pageant”.

” We condemn in clear terms any amoral behavior and conduct as suggested by the alleged lurid content in circulation and do not condone such”.
The reaction of the ABS management followed insinuations in some quarters that the establishment had a hand in the sex scandal and alleged that she was framed up by the organizers.

However the ex-beauty queen today took to her Facebook page to raise alarm following the threat to her life. In her post, wrote, “Good morning all. This is Chidinma Okeke, Miss Anambra 2015, considering the need to make the world know the truth about the trending scandal and what we have been going through before, then and now I decided to address a world press conference at the NUJ press centre Awka today. But from the moment I made public this intention I have been under siege of threats by my black- mailers and traducers.
