A video circulating widely on social media showing Senator Adams Oshiomhole aboard a private jet with a woman has continued to stir reactions and public speculation.
In the brief clip, Oshiomhole is seen sitting opposite the woman, massaging her leg while the two engage in conversation.
The video quickly spread across social media platforms, with some users claiming the woman was his wife, Lara Fortes, a Cape Verdean lawyer and former model.
However, multiple online reports identified the woman as South African influencer and adult content creator, Leshaan Dagama. WATCH VIDEO
Further investigation confirmed that the female passenger in the video matches the social media account of Leshaan Dagama.
The clip has sparked widespread debate online, with reactions divided. Some users criticised it as a display of political privilege, while others cautioned against jumping to conclusions from a short, unverified video.
Some reactions online included:
“Look at him, it is why Nigerian politicians are addicted to embezzlement. They can’t stop the lifestyle. The private jets, the ordering in of exotic bbl baddies, the high price of hard drugs, cost of maintaining properties they have abroad. Yet slaves still defend 9ja politicians.”
Another user said, “Steal all those billions and then splurge it on women and other frivolities, this is the ‘LIFE’ for most Nigerian politicians. Look how this man is simping for a woman. A big political figure out of Edo State. Work they won’t work, provide basic amenities, they won’t. But things like this and self-serving frivolity is what they’d rather imbibe in.”
One comment read, “The only thing they know how to do. Give them all the resources to fix a state and watch them squander everything.”
An X user added, “These politicians don see us finish! We dey shout say hospital no get anti-venom injection, our politicians dey spend our money anyhow.”
Another user, @okakahprecious, questioned what they described as selective criticism online, urging that accountability should be applied evenly across states and political leaders.
The video continues to provoke strong reactions online, with many users condemning such behaviour as inappropriate for a public office holder.
As of the time of filing this report, Senator Oshiomhole has not publicly addressed the video or clarified the identity of the woman.
