The controversy surrounding a series of leaked sex videos online said to involve former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke has not stopped organiser of Miss Diva Awards from honouring her.

The project coordinator of DIVA Queens award, Chijioke “Mr. Decency” Awugosi said the ex-beauty queen is an icon to many young ladies.

“Chidinma didn’t have to meet any criteria to receive this award. It was solely the decision of the brand to honour her,” Chijioke “Mr. Decency” Awugosi, project coordinator of DIVA Queens award, said.

“We are aware of the controversy that will come with it. But we hope that in due time, every well-meaning and reasonable individual will see the reasons behind the award.

“We chose to stand with Chidinma right till the very end. We’ll give her every support we have at our disposal; morally, psychologically, legally. She is an icon and through her we can reach out to thousands of girls who have or are on the verge of being sexually exploited. It is a civilized world, we shouldn’t be so judgmental,” he said.
