Instagram ‘models’ apologize for extorting Nigerian billionaire
Jyoti and Kiran Matharoo, the Toronto sisters who have been accused of extorting money from Nigerian billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, are now apologizing for their actions.
“We apologize to Femi Otedola and his family, especially his wife and children and all the other petitioners,” Jyoti said in a video posted to YouTube. “We created a platform called NaijaGistLive dot com where people can send in stories. Most stories were sent by close friends or associates of people being written about. The intention was not to hurt anyone or be malicious.”
— Facebook, Instagram and Twitter helped police target black activists —
The two Instagram models have been arrested and are being detained in Nigeria after they allegedly extorted Otedola by claiming that they had evidence of him cheating on his wife. They allegedly threatened to post the proof of his infidelity to a sex scandal website if he didn’t pay up.
The girls have also been accused of cyber-bullying around 274 people.
