However, Regina clarified that she has never used any of Jaruma’s products and was just paid to advertise for her as an ambassador.
Nwoko also clarified that Jaruma was not responsible for the collapse of his marriage with Chanrai, adding that he divorced her because she had an affair with another man and had plastic surgery without his consent.
Speaking on her arrest, Jaruma said;
I don’t know how someone would abuse you and you will abuse them back and then the person will now use the Nigeria Police to bully you, to silence you. You’ll take someone’s land, the person will complain and you will send Nigeria Police to arrest them. You’ll also take someone’s plantation, the person will complain, you’ll send Nigeria Police to arrest and put that person in prison.
She added;
I paid N10m for a job that was not done and I complained, boom, my own too don land for my head. How many Nigerian youths do you want to put in jail?.
