Businesswoman Tracyniter Nicholas Ohiri has alleged that her earlier retraction of claims against the Minister of Works, David Umahi, was scripted and made under pressure, insisting she was promised $70,000 that was never paid.

In a fresh video circulating online, Ohiri said a lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, coerced her into recording the retraction and assured her that Umahi had agreed to compensate her before the video was made public.

“Marshal, you gave me a script… you forced me to do this video. You said the person told you he was willing to pay me and compensate me for even arresting me and body-shaming me in public,” she said.

She alleged that the agreement was that payment would be made before the video was released, but claimed that did not happen.

“You told me that I will receive my payment before you release the video. How did you release the video without me collecting my money?” she asked.

Ohiri further alleged that she was isolated and intimidated during the process.

“You made sure I did not speak to anybody… you kept on threatening me,” she said, calling on the Nigerian Bar Association to investigate Abubakar’s conduct, which she described as unethical.

Ohiri had earlier accused Umahi of owing her about N250 million for promotional and printing services she claimed to have rendered during his 2015 governorship campaign in Ebonyi State. She also alleged sexual harassment and intimidation after she demanded payment, claims the minister has consistently denied.

She was later arrested in Lagos over allegations of cyberbullying linked to her social media posts and transferred to Abuja, where she was detained at the FCT police command. She was subsequently arraigned before a magistrate court in Wuse on a defamation charge and granted bail.

The matter gained public attention after activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore confronted the minister at the police headquarters, criticising what he described as the criminalisation of a civil dispute.

Umahi, in his response, denied both the allegation of indebtedness and the claims of sexual harassment, describing them as baseless.

“As party chairman, I owed nobody… I presided over both men and women, and nobody ever said I harassed them,” he said, adding, “What you read on social media, I’m not worried about it… it’s just to make social media alive.”

Amid the controversy, Ohiri had released a video retracting her allegations and apologising to the minister and his family, saying the decision followed consultations with her family, friends and legal team. In that video, she stated that there was no formally signed agreement between her and the minister and suggested that any materials she supplied may have been used by aides without his knowledge.

However, her latest claims challenge that retraction, as she now insists it was made under duress and tied to a promise of financial settlement that was not fulfilled.

Responding on his Facebook page, Abubakar denied coercing Ohiri or withholding any payment, describing her allegations as false.

He said he had supported her during her arrest by mobilising assistance, engaging activists and helping to secure her bail. According to him, attempts were made to mediate between Ohiri and the minister, who maintained that he was not indebted to her.

“He insisted that he wasn’t owing her and wouldn’t pay unless she can establish the existence of a contract,” Abubakar said.

He added that he found no evidence to support her claims during the mediation process.

“There was no single real evidence of any contractual agreement… no evidence that the minister ever engaged her,” he said.

Abubakar said Ohiri eventually agreed to retract her allegations as part of efforts to resolve the dispute, adding that the $70,000 mentioned was provided by a third party, Joseph Ekumankama, not as compensation or an admission of liability, but to facilitate peace.

He denied benefiting financially from the arrangement and alleged that Ohiri later demanded a significantly higher sum.

“She promised to drag my name online unless I meet them to pay her N300 million,” he said, adding that he is considering legal action over the claims made against him.

You cried out and the masses came to stand by you. You betrayed the masses by retracting your statement. Now that the thugs have disappointed you again, you want the masses to join you again. Opportunity comes many times but not always. You cannot always eat your cake and have it.

In fact, how do we now know when you are saying the truth? You said he tied a towel to meet you in a hotel. You recently turned around to say it never happened. You might come out tomorrow to tell us that you never said that they promised you $70,000.

Late me even ask this question. Did he actually tie a towel to meet you in a hotel and you later denied it just for the sake of the money he promised to pay you or did you actually lie against him? Did he actually say that what happened to the Engineers will happen to you or did you lie about that one too?

I understand that you acted out of fear because you were dealing with powerful politicians. But it is better to die a hero than to live a coward.

Every well meaning Nigerian knew there's something behind that retraction.

So, madam you didn't collect your money before doing that shii?

Where's her lawyer sef? Who's advising this woman?

Just negodu!


Edited:
It was her so called lawyer that collaborated with umahi to outmaneuver her
🙄🙄


Edited:
She actually got 70k to retract. The point is she's claiming the money was not what was agreed. And even at that, she didn't settle those who helped her with anything tangible, leading VDM to call her an evil person.

Madam Tracy, I think you should let sleeping dogs lie now.

Umahi, through a third party has settled you because he knows you both had a history, even though it's alledged you didn't have documentation or credible evidence to support your claim.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

This woman should be arrested, she is a crook and unreliable person

The sincerity of humans can never be trusted @all.

That woman deserves to be thrown into prison!

SadiqBabaSani:

SmartPolician:

She collected $70,000 but wanted more .
She is greedy and should not be trusted.

SisterAnn:

Go make your own full detailed research on that case not a fan of Umahi or the deadly APC but if that woman is not careful she is going to prison.

I have made all my research, full and detailed, and I don't see the reason why she is going to prison except because she rose against a very powerful and diabolic personality who operates in a system where conscience is a rare commodity and justice is reserved for the highest bidder.

If you have any contrary opinion, please share with me.

Where did it state she collected anything? Her videos are all over social media.

First no direct contact with Umahi, she should provide the paper contracts for the items delivered. Did she met Umahi wearing towels or was the story made up, that she had some business with some people is not the reason she should be castigating Umahi was Umahi in direct contact with her.

SisterAnn:

She collect 70k, couldn't even pay the lawyer what she was supposed to pay him and Flagboy that stood as her surety she paid him only 200 dollars out of the 70k

SisterAnn:

Put sentiment aside.

You are crazy, nobody will ever see you as serious type.

UMAHI

Even though I don't like Umahi,but this woman looks like a manipulative person. Sowore ,VDM and all came out for her,she went behind and betrayed them. Now she is back crying..

Has the $70,000 been paid to this unreliable person

Assuming Nigeria is working










Minister umahi should have resigned

This woman is the reason why women are being called all sort of names. She should be arrested immediately

Doing business with women are one of the most dangerous avenue...


They come out with different blackmail...

If it's not sexual harassment na attention....


You start wondering are men not doing business with each other are they not having issues with each other?



Make it make sense someone his owing 250m or so and told you to retract your statement for 70k USD...

At 1400 exchange rate that money isn't even up 100m in Naira....

She doesn't have proof to tender.
The court works on evidence and they can't take her by her words because anybody can say anything

This fellow obviously needs mental health help.

fact.
You are saying the truth

Anything you're doing in this life

Fear women oooo

They find it hard to feed the poor, but somehow money always comes out for politics, bribery and war.

The moment you retract your earlier words and come out to say another thing again about it you have already shot yourself in the leg. Your credibility is already gone. You can't have double mouth.

Agriculture is life
