In a fiery social media outburst that’s lighting up timelines across Benue State and beyond, activist D naked Zege’Orkwande has taken aim at Martha Mumun Akumbur, a once-celebrated orphan who rose from the shadows of hardship to become a symbol of government-sponsored success—until she seemingly walked away from it all. Posted just this morning on November 3, 2025, Zege’Orkwande’s thread isn’t pulling punches, accusing Akumbur of abandoning her education, her support system, and even her own story for a life shrouded in mystery and alleged violence.
The controversy centers on Akumbur’s abrupt exit from Benue State University’s Radiography program back at the 200 level. As an orphan, she was one of the lucky few handpicked for full government backing—tuition, stipends, the works. Her twin brother, still reportedly in the system, continues to receive that aid without interruption. But Akumbur? She left the orphanage, moved into her boyfriend’s house, and reportedly turned her back on a monthly stipend of ₦200,000. Zege’Orkwande wants to know why. “Why stop the support for her but not her brother? Why ditch everything for a man’s roof when the money was flowing?” he demands in his post, framing it as a betrayal not just of the system that lifted her, but of every struggling orphan watching from the sidelines.
It gets darker. Zege’Orkwande hints at a “violent incident” at the boyfriend’s home, painting a picture of chaos and conflicting stories about Akumbur’s current living conditions. Is she thriving in luxury, as some whispers suggest, or trapped in something far more sinister? The activist isn’t mincing words—he’s promising “explosive evidence” to back it all up, to be released only after Akumbur steps forward with her side of the story. “This isn’t personal,” he insists. “It’s about accountability.”
The post, shared via Benue info-pedia’s page, has already clocked thousands of views in under an hour, sparking a frenzy of comments. Supporters hail Zege’Orkwande as a voice for the voiceless, demanding transparency from those who benefit from public funds. Critics, meanwhile, accuse him of sensationalism, warning that dredging up an orphan’s past could do more harm than good. But in a state where orphanages and government scholarships are lifelines for many, the questions hit hard: How do we ensure aid reaches those who need it without strings? What happens when a success story sours?
Akumbur, estranged and silent so far, holds the key to unraveling this. Will she respond, or let the evidence speak for itself? As Zege’Orkwande gears up to drop what he calls game-changing proof, one thing’s clear—this isn’t just gossip. It’s a reckoning for accountability in Benue’s orphan support ecosystem, and the fallout could reshape how we view these programs forever. Stay tuned; the next move might just blow the lid off.
