An e-mail leaked to the media on the age cheat allegation that has trailed her since she was announced winner of MBGN.
This has made her to be rejected by the organisers of Miss World taking place in August in China this year. Silverbird Group, the organisers MBGN has come out to say their side of the story.
Silverbird, in their statement, said that Isabella will now go for Miss Universe contest while the MBGN first Runner up, Miss Diamette Charles Granville will now represent Nigeria in the Miss World contest.
Here is the leaked e-mail exposing Isabella on her age cheat allegation;
“No doubt corruption is now a way of life in Nigeria and as such you find corrupt practise in anything we do in Nigeria. Few months, when I raised the alarm that Isabella Ayuk, the lady who won the crown of the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) is more than 26 years which she claims she is, many felt I was Blackmailing her!
I knew this because her younger sister who was my classmate in secondary school is now 27years old. Today the truth has been told which the organisers of the MBGN, the Bruce family knew even before she contested!
But instead, favoured her to be the winner because Isabella is dating Hon Emeka Ihedioha, the Deputy Speaker House of Representatives Abuja and she also warms the bed of a big time businessman Henry Imasekha, a very close friend of James Ibori.
Today she has been disqualified from contesting in the Miss World Pageant due to age factor which she lied about and as such the first Runner up Diamete Charles will now represent Nigeria. My question is what Kind of country do we live in? Even in the pageant industry there’s corruption!.
The Bruce family have now disgraced themselves and Nigeria before the entire world.”
Silverbird Group response;
