K24 news anchor Eric Njoka denies being gay: Someone blackmailed me

K24 news anchor Eric Njoka has come out deny that he’s not gay. In an interview with fellow K24 presenter Sarah Ibrahim about his love life, Njoka shared that he was framed by an unknown person.

According to the presenter, the person tried to squeeze Ksh 60,000 out of him after creating a fake profile of him.

”In 2016 some guy just decided to get some money from this guy who looks like he is so moneyed. So what does he do? He collaborates with a friend and colleague in one of the universities here, forms a profile and gets all my pictures and gets a picture of the penis or something, shares with friends and then calls me and promised to leak the information (if I don’t pay).

“I said whatever, do what you gotta do. I thought he was playing with me. It is a person I have never met or interacted with, he sounded really old, sounded so Somali and he was so confident about it. He said that if I didn’t give him KSh 60,000 he would expose me,” he said.

Silent

The individual went ahead and posted the allegations on social media which was then picked up by blogs. He told Sarah that he never bothered to defend himself after the legations because he knew he was innocent.

”I never told anybody about this because there was nothing to tell. I never shied away from it because there was nothing to be afraid of because at the end of the day that was not me. And my career was never to be destroyed by that weak person who thought that one Eric Njoka will fall. He has not fallen,” Eric said.
