A significant development has occurred in the ongoing saga involving South African adult content creator Leshaan Da Gama and Nigerian Senator Adams Oshiomhole. The Instagram page belonging to Da Gama has mysteriously disappeared from the platform, sparking widespread speculation and discussion across social media channels.
Instagram Profile Becomes Inaccessible
Users attempting to access Leshaan Da Gama's Instagram profile with the handle @shaandg47 are now met with a message stating: "Profile isn't available. The link may be broken or the profile may have been removed." This development comes just days after Da Gama broke her silence regarding a viral video that allegedly shows her with Senator Adams Oshiomhole aboard a private jet.
Background of the Controversy
The controversy began when a video clip surfaced on Nigerian social media platforms, purportedly showing Senator Adams Oshiomhole massaging the feet of Leshaan Da Gama during a private jet flight. The video quickly gained traction and became a trending topic, drawing significant attention from Nigerian internet users.
In response to the viral footage, Da Gama took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, February 6, to address the situation. Rather than denying her presence in the video, she directly confronted Nigerian critics who had flooded her social media accounts with negative comments. "Your senator is the problem, go be mad at him, not me," she wrote in a pointed message to her detractors.
The Alleged Threat and Reactions
The situation escalated when an Instagram Story post, allegedly from Leshaan Da Gama, threatened to release a private tape involving Senator Oshiomhole. This threat prompted varied reactions from social media users and public figures alike.
Nigerian human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong dismissed the threat as "nonsense," while other commentators offered diverse perspectives on the unfolding drama. Senator Oshiomhole's media team has consistently denied the authenticity of the original video, maintaining that it was generated using artificial intelligence technology.
Social Media Reactions
The controversy has generated significant discussion across various platforms, with users expressing mixed opinions about the situation:
- stephtochi commented: "Keep waiting to herself? Biko speak for yourself. Since our senator could not perform well in his job, we need to see his performance in bed."
- Real_AmakaIke said: "Wetin concern us. That lady dey learn self. Person don already deny ever knowing you, what makes you think he cares."
- VOTEaTRADER commented: "OBJECTION MY LORD! Barrister please we are interested in seeing every second of the video. We're also committed to sharing it far and wide across all social media platforms when it drop."
- ChangeNigeriaa said: "blackmailing ..she is not saying it for our benefit. She is telling the senator I will do this."
- IronHeart1414 said: "She's been paid for another level of distraction Who cares about their nonsense beauty and the beast scene."
- FadaChristmas_ said: "Sadly, the only person the tape will affect is her, Nigeria is not a place where people like senators get consequences for their actions. Our senate president literally abused natasha and got away with it. The former chairman of APC has a tape collecting bribe. Madam rest."
Broader Context and Previous Incidents
This incident occurs against the backdrop of Senator Oshiomhole's previous political commentary. Legit.ng previously reported that Adams Oshiomhole had criticized former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi during Hadiza Bala Usman's 50th birthday celebration, recalling contentious periods during the late President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
The disappearance of Leshaan Da Gama's Instagram profile adds another layer to this developing story, leaving many questions unanswered about the nature of her relationship with the Nigerian senator and the authenticity of the materials in question.
