An 18-year-old girl, Nkechi Bella Nwoko, has apologized to her bestie, one Richard Ebuka Osita, 24, for ‘jokingly’ falsely accusing him of r@pe.
Richard, a Lagos-based web developer, said Bella first accused him of r@pe in 2021 but later apologized. She, however, accused him of r@pe again sometime last week.
According to him, “In 2021, Nkechi Bella Nwoko contacted me, I know her because our moms are friends. I have no relationship with her other than her being a family friend. One thing lead to another and she said she wanted to sleep with me, she wants me and all that. I told her I can’t sleep with her and her response was: “You don’t want to see me because you can’t control yourself,” adding that I’ll r@pe her but she’ll like it. This happened in October 3rd, 2021.
I warned her not to joke with r@pe ever again. I told her I can’t sleep with her because she’s like a kid sister to me. That same year I borrowed her N30k because she said her mom was ill.
Fast forward to last week, she called me again and asked for a loan of N20k but I sent her N10k, making it a total N40k that she owe me.
So when I called her to ask for the money she repeated the r@pe accusations of 2021 again, her words: “What N40k? Abeg leave it jhoor, if I tell people you r@ped me now your body will come down, nobody will believe you.
Her family has since refunded my N40k. But at this point it wasn’t about the money, I have a career now and the fear of being tagged as a r@pist scares me so I informed her family about it and I asked for an apology video, but unfortunately an apology won’t do.”
On her part, Bella while speaking with Instablog9ja said: “It was in 2021, he was always asking me to come to his place and then I jokingly said: “You’re acting like you want to r@pe me.” I know I shouldn’t have said that. I apologized back then and after that we never talked about it until yesterday when he started thr£atening to post me and asked me to do a 20 seconds video apologizing to him.”
