INDIGENOUS rapper, Owoh Chimaobi Chrismathner popularly known as Zoro, has sought the probe of the rape allegation against him.
Eelive.ng had reported that the lyricist who was called out and accused of rape by a lady identified as Yachit, with the Instagram handle, @mystic_sweetness, denied the allegation.
In a petition to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Zoro said he wants the rape allegation investigated, as the news has not only almost ruined his reputation but relationships with the different brands he works with.
He wrote; “Dear Fans, Further to my last post, my team (legal and management) and I have reported the rape allegation leveled against me to the Nigeria Police. I want to implore you my fans, friends, and family to kindly disbelieve any lies from the unscrupulous lady while the Police continue their investigation on the matter.
“I am more than certain that my innocence will vindicate me eventually. Finally, it is important to fight against false rape accusations. The implication of false accusations on the ‘falsely accused’ is grievous and causes mental, and psychological damages which can affect business and personal relationships.
“It will also deter rape victims from speaking up because of disbelief and stigma. Thank you very much for all your calls, messages, and well wishes during this period. #saynotorape #thistooshallpass #saynotofalseaccusation.”
With the petition, will the police be able to vindicate Zoro?
