A former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has offered the sum of $50,000 for anyone who can provide a photo of him attending the State Banquet for Uhuru Kenyatta in 2014.
Omokri made the offer on Thursday via his Instagram page.
The drama between Omokri and a Lawyer and politician, Natasha Akpoti when the latter accused the former of making a pass at her during the State Banquet held for Kenyatta during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
However, Reno Omokri denied the allegation and provided evidence that he was not in Nigeria when the event took place.
He wrote: “Many photos were taken at the State Banquet for Uhuru Kenyatta on May 6, 2014, both by the State House photographer and every media house in Nigeria. I hereby offer a $50,000 prize to anybody on Earth who can provide a photo of me at that event, and I give my word of honour that I will pay.
“This money will also be paid out if even the photo you have is a mobile phone photo. Any type of photo at all.
“I was a Presidential spokesman and chairs are ALWAYS reserved for us at the front with our names on it. Our table is usually one table away from the President, should he need to summon us at any time.
“Also, there are videos of the event. Channels, AIT, SilverbirdTV and other stations had video coverage that is still on their YouTube pages. Also, one or two prominent journalists would have been there. They should have sighted me physically with their eyes. Can they come out and testify in a sworn affidavit that they saw me at the event?

“I have provided incontrovertible evidence that I was not in Nigeria during the days that President Uhuru Kenyatta visited Nigeria between May 4-7, 2014. Meanwhile, the person making the allegation has not provided one shred of evidence. Is it not he or she that alleges that should also prove?
“Since the said Natasha H Akpoti, who made the allegation is from Kogi State, which is in the North, I will deposit the money with the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 Northern states.
“A clear conscience fears no accusation. The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend the truth. You simply unleash and it will defend itself. I have unleashed it with $50,000 and I am waiting.
“Natasha. Spell that name backwards. Ah-satan!”
