Edgar Obare admits error in reporting Vera Sidika's Dubai trip, extends apology

Popular blogger Edgar Obare has extended a public apology to the renowned socialite Vera Sidika, following a series of false claims he made regarding her recent trip to Dubai.

The apology, channeled through his Facebook platform BNN on August 13, comes after Obare falsely alleged that Sidika's luxurious Dubai escapade was funded by a wealthy tycoon.

This retraction comes as a result of Sidika providing concrete evidence contradicting the earlier reports of sponsorship.

"We apologise for the incorrect reporting of retired socialite Vera Sidika Dubai trip being sponsored by a Russian tycoon, she responded and provided us receipts," Edgar wrote.

Obare's initial post on August 12, had stirred significant attention, causing quite a stir on social media.

The now-retracted post, suggested that Sidika was flown to the U.A.E. for a rendezvous with a Russian magnate residing in the prestigious Jumeirah District.

Furthermore, Obare's post claimed that during her stay, she purportedly demanded exclusive service, refusing attendance by East African staff on account of her celebrity status.
