Dethroned Benue beauty queen speaks out, accuses organizers of stealing money donated to her by a former minister
Finest Girl in Benue 2015, Miss Paulyn Agbo who was dethroned
barely a month after she was crowned for alleged "lack of decorum, deceit
and defamation of character" has spoken out for the first time. According
to a statement issued by the organizers of the pageant, Dumas Events,
the beauty queen breached contract agreement by organizing a victory
dinner in Abuja without recognizing them. Idoma Voice reports that when
Miss Agbo was confronted, she hired thugs to beat up the organizers
claiming she had no contractual agreement with them.
“It all started when I organized my victory dinner party at NAF
Conference Center Abuja,with the help of my uncle Spitz Josef who helped
in the planning,all expenses for the dinner was from my pocket. I
rented the VIP hall at NAF for 350,000 not including the food and
drinks, I roughly spent close to 600,000 from my pocket.
“After the dinner the only cash realised was that of the former Minister of Interior (Comrade Abba Moro) which was 250,000 aside pledges, because of the trust I had for the organization, Dumas events, the money was collected by them from the former minister. At the end of the event, they vanished with the money leaving me stranded, as I was yet to balance NAF for food drinks, DJ and MC.
“All effort to reach them on phone proved abortive, the only conversation they managed to have with me was they are not having any conversation till the next day. “I was held up by the military men at NAF because I didn’t finish making payments, I had to call the Hon former Minister because I introduced them to him on his arrival which the President (of Dumas Events) sat with him all through the event.
He called them and they agreed to return back, when they returned, they were only coming for negotiations and not to bring any money, all efforts by the security men pleading to save me and bring back the money so I could pay the bills proved abortive as Mr Clef Obida, the Dumas event manager refused to listen to men on uniform who were only there to maintain peace. I, Miss Paulyn Naths couldn’t have hired any thugs to beat anybody up.
“The money was later collected from them and I settled the bills and we all dispatched, even though I lost so much I was happy as the essence of it was just for my victory, since that day I never heard from DUMAS until today.
“For the records I have witnesses, the event brochure carried every info about Dumas Events, I never fronted any other organization. Amongst those who witnessed this incidence is Spitz Josef, Ehi Eje and Mark Owi.”
