Glory Agbor Denies Husband Dickson Agbor Assault Claims, Says Viral Video Could Be Fabricated
Glory Agbor, wife of Dickson Agbor, the lawmaker representing Obubra I State Constituency in the Cross River State House of Assembly, has rejected claims that her husband physically assaulted her. The controversy erupted after a video circulated online showing Glory appearing injured, allegedly following a domestic dispute with her husband. The footage prompted public outrage and led the Cross River State House of Assembly to suspend Dickson Agbor indefinitely over allegations of violent behaviour. In a new video shared on social media, Glory described the accusations as “baseless,” insisting that no such incident occurred. She suggested the original footage could have been fabricated or manipulated, possibly using artificial intelligence, as part of an attempt to damage her husband’s reputation ahead of upcoming elections. “I am here to tell Nigerians and everyone at home and abroad that what has been circulating online for the past three to four days is false. Nothing of such ever happened,” she said. “Maybe it is AI, or they want to use that to blackmail me and my husband. With the elections around the corner, perhaps this is an attempt to bring him down. Nothing of the sort happened to me. Look at me—I am okay, I am fine. Did you see any mark on my face or anything like that? Nothing like this ever happened.”
