Blogger Edgar Obare Apologizes To Vera Sidika Over False Claims

Popular blogger Edgar Obare has apologized to socialite Vera Sidika for falsely claiming that her recent trip to Dubai was funded by a wealthy tycoon. Obare retracted his statement after Sidika provided him with evidence that she had paid for her own trip.

Obare’s initial post on August 12 had sparked a lot of controversy on social media. He claimed that Sidika was flown to Dubai to meet with a Russian businessman in the Jumeirah district. He also alleged that she demanded exclusive service during her stay and refused to be served by East African staff.

Sidika denied Obare’s claims and provided him with evidence that she had paid for her own trip. She also posted videos of herself enjoying her vacation in Dubai.

Obare has since apologized for his false claims and said that he was “misled by his sources.” He said that he “deeply regrets” the damage that his post caused to Sidika’s reputation.

Sidika has accepted Obare’s apology and said that she “appreciates his candor.” She said that she is “moving on” from the incident and “focusing on her vacation.”

This incident is a reminder of the importance of fact-checking before publishing rumors. It is also a reminder that social media can be a powerful tool for spreading misinformation.
