UN GATE Exclusive, Nov 12 –  The UN is involved in a sexual harassment and sex trafficking scandal in the Democratic Republic of Congo, of which Inner City Press was exclusively informed and published after no answers in 2022 while the organization under Secretary General Antonio Guterres is still trying to cover up.

  Now Guterres' cover-up agency OIOS, the Office of Internal Oversight Services, is trying hamhandedly to get Inner City Press to ID a person OIOS presents as the whistleblower. But Inner City Press never published the whistleblower's names, and does not publish or confirm whistleblower's names.

Guterres has turned to the UN and OIOS into a global joke. Here, while Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuse all Press questions, is what OIOS sent Inner City Press:

From: Ghislaine Ines Ofweley-Bate Date: Wed, Nov 5, 2025 at 7:11 AM Subject: OIOS investigation Case 1006-25 To: Matthew Russell Lee / Inner City Press  Cc: Mcbride Kaite at UN

   Dear Matthew,  I am Ghislaine Ines Ofweley-Bate,  investigator with the Investigations Division of the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) and I have been assigned to conduct an authorized investigation into a report of possible misconduct: an allegation of unsatisfactory conduct implicating Mr. Amadu Fuseini Kurata Timbilla, Chief Service Delivery, United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), based in Goma, DRC.  Specifically, on 2 July 2025, you received from Mr. Mutombo Faustin,  a report that Mr. Timbilla would allegedly blackmail senior mission officials, including Ms. Bintou Keita, MONUSCO SRSG and the DMS, while engaging in inappropriate behavior such as exploiting women in the region.  OIOS would like to interview Mr. Faustin as complainant and would appreciate if you could provide any of his contact details which could facilitate the contact with him. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.  Best regards               Ghislaine Ines OFWELEY-BATE/ Investigator  Investigations Division | Office of Internal Oversight Services|

    Again, Inner City Press never published the name of the person Guterres' OIOS now says emailed Inner City Press. Guterres' UN is happy to rough up and ban journalists, now this, from a former OIOS investigator now asking, rightly, whether the UN is illegally spying on or hacking

We'll have more on this.

From its exclusive publication in August 2022, Inner City Press has daily asked the UN, from Guterres, through Melissa Fleming to spokesman Stephane Dujarric about this scandal, including providing names involved. No answer; cover up - and no response to Inner City Press' 2022 application to enter and report on UNGA week [and now answer to requests in 2023, 2024 and 2025]

 Inner City Press has the names of those involved; it is informed that Guterres' Assistant Secretary General for Human Resources Martha Helena Lopez is well informed but has yet to act - that was in 2022, and still nothing in 2025. Guterres' UN is corrupt and in decay.

Inner City Press will have more, much more on this. Watch this site.
