i say that's not a mining site. Nobody owns and controls it. Boys just go there and mine gold. Been happening since the 80s.

I'm not sure you know the difference between clay and gold. People mine clay, limestone, etc. That is different from gold. Do you know the price of gold? Those who own golds are too rich to be found in illegal gold mining sites.

thatigboman:
that's a lie. IBB has nothing to do with that mining site. I used to live in that area. In Tunga, Minna. It's a stream where people go mine gold since 80s and 90s. There is no mining company there till today. Just that they became unruly as civil defense has been chasing them away when the issue of illegal mining came up

Poor people do not mine and own solid minerals like gold in Nigeria. They mine for the site owners. The same where terrorists protect the sites for the rich owners in Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger, Katsina, and the Chinese are the mining contractors. Mining sites are like oil wells. Oil wells are legally owned by the rich, whereas, solid minerals mining sites are illegally owned by retired military generals, emirs, former government officials, politicians, etc.

Bro there's nothing like a mining site as long as there's no company operating in that region....

I don't understand what you are trying to say here. But watch this video to clear your head.

She should gettat. She wants to trend.

She wants to trend you said? Why not say Natasha herself wants to trend? Nigeria is in terrible hands. It isn't shocking anymore when their atrocities are blown open. Akpabio is corrupt. Just wait for Sandra to release more audio. But of course, nothing would happen to him.

Last week, 37 poor citizens were killed to cover up those behind the illegal mining in Niger state. IBB is alleged to be the power in charge of the mining site, but no one would question him.

Here is the transcript of the roughly 9–10 minute audio conversation circulating from the post (the recording Sandra C. Duru / Prof. Mgbeke released and described as a “sneak peek”)

Duru presents the male voice as Senate President Godswill Akpabio; she is the other participant (often responding “yes daddy,” “yes sir,” etc.).

Speakers (as presented in the leak):
Male voice: (identified by Duru as Akpabio)
Female voice: (Duru)

Male: They lied against me… the one… the one that they… no. But please, anything between me and you, don’t tell uncle Ned. You know why?

Female: Hm.

Male: Okay. When we were campaigning for election to be Senate President, uncle Ned was with his… eh… businessmen. Okay, Senator Yari. Okay. Eh, please… hm… please, because sometimes somebody could say something to you… hm… and then he gains your confidence… hm… and then suddenly he says something that spoils [the relationship] between you and I without your knowledge. Okay? To understand the background, I didn’t want to tell you this before. Okay.

Female: Hm.

Male: So the reason why you see Ned around me now, confidentially… hm… is that he has some payments… okay… that he… eh… on [something] and local government think that he wants my assistance to get it done. Okay. And so he’s always with me. And I see the secret of his success: he’s very pushful. Hm. When he wants something done he doesn’t leave you alone.

Yes, I can tell you that I was in shock when I saw him by 4 AM as I came out of British Airways. I came out of British [Airways] and I saw him there. Hm.

And then secondly, uncle Ned was… eh… Anioma… Anioma, yes, Anioma State. Yes. And he has mobilized every person that you can imagine in that area. Hm.

And thirdly, uncle Ned’s seat is under threat by Okowa. Yes. And those three things — the only person that can punctuate [them] is me. Yes, by the grace of God now. Yes. And then God Almighty, because it is what I will say that the President will take. Yes. If I say I’m comfortable with Ned, then Ned stays.

You’re not hearing what I’m saying?

Female: I heard.

Male: I’m saying that anything that Ned is saying to you… hm… he can’t take it to the bank. I’m telling you now that what I say is final. Okay. I just give you an idea.

I said… hm… only the President can create ministries. Yeah. He said he can merge it, he can do anything… so directorate. Okay. It is not through law. Okay. It is not through law-making. Do you understand what I mean?

Female: Okay.

Male: And that this… it will be sweeter… hm… when Natasha is pronounced guilty. Hm. Even if it’s for two weeks. Hm. And then they will say, “Oh, so this thing was actually true.” Hm. So a woman can manipulate the media, manipulate opinion, manipulate everything even when she was telling blatant lies against another man. Yes. And it will come out that we need to protect men. Yes.

I also wrote it. That’s what I’m saying. It will come out naturally… hm… that we need to protect men. At that stage they say, “Oh, in that case we have to also have a Ministry of Women Affairs and Men Affairs or Gender Affairs.” They will have two directorates. Let’s abolish the Ministry of Women Affairs and set up the Ministry of Gender Affairs.

Female:Yes.

Male: So it will cater for both men and women.

Female: Yes.

Male: See, since both of them are puzzled… victims.

Female: Yes.

Male: So these are the things that will come out of this Natasha case. Okay? You need to understand me. And I’m like you. The only thing is that the strategy may differ. Hm. We arrive at the same destination. Okay. We arrive at the same destination.

I can swear with everything I own in this life that I value you more than you can ever imagine. And to forget that without you [I would] not be a former minister… joining Natasha against me… with my innocence. Hm.

Imagine my wife addressing the press conference — something she has never done in her life. Yes. Imagine her going to court, getting female lawyers to sue Natasha… out of anger… in a house that contained over 40 people. Hm. And Natasha is not a Christian. We are going into the chapel. You can see from the CCTV: you see her and the husband holding hands. Yes. When they looked in and saw a Reverend Father they all walked away. Hm. Both of them walked away. Hm.

When [someone] was conducting “Happy Birthday to you,” you look into the pictures and look into the video — you will see Natasha far away with the husband. Hm. Evidence has shown from even Wegboni and all that that I never even shook hands with her. Yes. Because I never got near to her. Just welcomed all of them. And the one I welcomed — the senators who were about 20 at that time — the husband went back to go and help her to put on [her shoe], because whatever she was wearing had given up on her legs. Yeah. And so when she came out of the car she was shouting “Where are you going to when I’m having this kind of problem with my shoe?” Hm. So the husband went back and was helping her. So he missed greeting people. Hm. He missed the greetings.

And when I switched up to tell him from the dining, “Let us go to the chapel to go and offer prayers to God,” they are not Catholic. I said those who are Catholic follow me. Hm. That’s why [he] can shout like that because he followed me. Yes. If anybody follow me around… because he’s a Catholic. Hm.

So you… I don’t want you to… one of the things: don’t compare me with anybody. Hm. And don’t allow even Ned to know that you and I are talking. Hm. Do you understand what I’m saying?

Female: No, he doesn’t know we talk.

Male: So because one day he… don’t forget we have a political divide. Yes. Ned… Ned… I’m just a very forgiving person. Hm. Ned was not one of those who supported me at all. Yes. And you can understand why, because they do business too. Yes.

Yeah. I mean my normal way. I always say that God has given me the position I wanted. Hm. So I cannot hold anything against anybody.

Female: Yes sir.

Male: So I draw everybody close. Hm. I took him to the President. Hm. And then they had a robust discussion. Hm. Before even Okowa came. Hm.

So Okowa is now coming. Okowa is coming late because he’s coming because of fear of his corruption traces. Hm. It’s not because of sincerity. Hm. So if he wants to come and challenge [for the] seat, I’m the one to say no, you can’t have a ticket. Hm.

Okowa does not know anything about the new chairman of the party. Hm. Hope does not know anything about the new chairman of the party. Hm. Are you hearing what [I’m saying]?

Female: Yes daddy, I’m with you. Yes sir.

Male: So when the new chairman of the party was coming… yes sir… it was just between me and the President. Hm.

Female :Yes daddy.

Male: I must say that many people did not know because they probably would have spoiled it. Yes. Or they would have tried to bring their own candidate. Yes sir.

So you have to understand… I don’t know how to put it. Please, please, please, please.

So I know very well and I would never have slept this night if you didn’t talk to me. It was uncle that was crying. It’s all good.

I said I too… but she doesn’t understand me. Why does she want to… I said okay, let me send you a text. I was writing a wrong text. Hm. But because I’m not very familiar with this telephone I wanted to correct something I wanted to say to… or I put off. So I now try to edit it. Hm. In the process I [pressed something they] say cut. I thought he was going to cut off. Hm. He cut off half of what I said to you. That is why I didn’t say this. You don’t have to be mad because I was mad because Ken them were lying.

Can I tell you something?

Female: Yes daddy.

Male: Okay. Since you and I are talking, do you know why I’m using Ken right now? Hm. Okay. Ken wants money. Yes. He has been able to deliver the father-in-law of Uduaghan into my hands. Hm. You are the only other person that knows this. Hm.

From London we had a meeting with the man. Hm. I brought the man into the country. Hm. I brought the man into Akwa Ibom State. Hm. I got the man to swear to oath… witness on oath. Yes daddy.

The man now downloaded all the terrible messages that Natasha used to send to him.

Female: Yes daddy.

Male: The threats to him. Hm. And he went further to go and bring pictures of Natasha with blood dripping through her legs on the matrimonial bed on [Malero?]. Hm. Are you hearing what I’m saying?

Female: Yes sir.

Male: And he said that if they know that they will put… so we wanted to swear in court. Hm. But we said no, that the content and the revelations are such that if a court class sees it he may want to use it to make business before it is filed. So we took it before a notary public. Okay. So he used the Bible…

(The circulating clip ends around this point.)

This matches the excerpts quoted across news reports (Ned Nwoko / “Uncle Ned,” Okowa joining APC over corruption fears rather than sincerity, the Natasha “pronounced guilty” / gender ministry discussion, etc.).

Duru framed the release as only a preview of more material. Both Akpabio and Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan have so far declined public comment on this particular recording, according to reports from 20 September 2026.

Sandra C Duru, aka Prof Mgbeke, who was allegedly hired by Senate President Godswill Akpabio to tackle Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has released an audio conversation between them, describing it as "just a sneak peek of what's coming on Sunday."
