    Share proof that I raped you-Oluwadolarz tells accuser

    Nigerian comedian and skitmaker, Oluwadolarz has reacted to a rape allegation leveled against him by an anonymous lady on Twitter.

     

     

    A Twitter user @unilaganon had asked people to expose influencers who might have raped or assaulted them in the past. The Twitter handler then shared a DM from a certain lady accusing the comedian of raping her two years ago.

    The lady who appears to be 19, alleged that the Comedian saw her photo on IG when she was 17 and contacted her. She claimed the comedian mentioned to her that she has a pretty face and would like to feature her in one of his skits. She claimed he invited her over to his house where he allegedly drugged her and raped her. She also alleged that she had an abortion for him.

    Reacting to the allegation, Oluwadolarz denied the allegation, saying he has never and will never rape a person. He asked his accuser to come online to share proof. He also mentioned that he will be pressing charges.

    “This is false accusation and I will like to press charges because I have never raped anybody in my life. You that sent that message, come out plain, post your picture, post proof, post when I asked you to come down to my house two years ago, post when you accused me of rape by chat. Just post something to tell the world that I actually raped you” he said

  • Khafi opens up on rape experience

    Khafi opens up on rape experience

    Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Khafi has averred that she was raped at some point in her life.

    The reality TV star shared the disturbing experience via her Twitter page on Tuesday, June 2, 2020.

     

    According to her, the reason she didn’t report the rapist was because the one person she told about the incident, ended up blaming her for getting raped.

    “#WhyIDidntReport – because he apologized right after. Because I made myself believe him being drunk was an excuse. Because the one person I did tell said I caused it. Because I felt dirty and ashamed. #WeAreTired,” she tweeted.

     

    “Yes, this did happen to me. I’m sharing in the hope that others will feel no shame in sharing what happened to them. Please don’t deflect or say it is not my story when it was already hard enough sharing it.”

    Khafi’s tweets are coming on the heels of the recent protests over the rape and murder of a young student in Nigeria.

    Senator Akon Etim Eyakenyi, contributing to the motion, said the particular issue of rape has been raised and spoken against severally in the Senate.

    “It is not just arresting the culprits and taken to the police station, the court and then sentenced to a few years of jail time that is enough. A severe penalty should be given to such culprits,” Senator Eyakenyi said.

    Also, Senator Betty Apiafi joined in condemning the violation, she said has become a daily occurrence in the society. She added the rape incidence of a 12-year-old girl in Jigawa State to the motion and called for not just stiffer penalty but stronger advocacy against rape.

    Following deliberations on the motion, the Senate condemned the killing of the girls, called for the immediate arrest of the perpetrators, and observed a minute silence in honour of the two girls and others who have fallen victims of rape.

    TNG reports the Senate also urged security agencies to ensure the enforcement of the child rights act, which includes forceful marriage, while also urging State’s Houses of Assembly to amend the code to make rape punishable.
