JUST IN: Ex-Yobe Gov In Viral Threesome Sex Tape Dies At 75

Former Yobe State Governor, Bukar Abba Ibrahim, passed away at the age of 75 at the Saudi-German Hospital in Makkah, Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

Ibrahim, who served two terms as governor from 1992-1993 and 1999-2007, had a long political career in Nigeria.

He was a two-term Senator representing Yobe East Senatorial District, until 2019 when he stepped down for the current minister of Police Affairs Ibrahim Geidam.

In 2017, Ibrahim was involved in a scandal when a sex tape allegedly showing him in a threesome went viral online.

He admitted he was the person in the video, saying: “This is a personal, private matter. What does my having been with a girl have to do with the public?

“If they say I raped, that’s a different matter altogether. Is it because I am a public official then I am not supposed to be entitled to private life?” he had asked.

Ibrahim’s death marks the end of an era in Yobe politics. He made significant contributions during his tenure as governor.

According to reports, Ibrahim will be buried in Saudi Arabia where he had been receiving medical treatment prior to his passing.
