This is not the first time Peruzzi has been accused of sexual molestation.
Popular Nigerian singer Okoh Tobechukwu aka Peruzzi is currently trending on social media for the wrong reason after he was accused of rape again.
On Wednesday, June 3, 2020, singer Perruzzi joined the growing list of major celebrities in the entertainment industry to be caught between the crosshair of the #whyididntreportit trend still sweeping across Twitter.
Several eyebrows were raised towards the music star after a female social media user identified as Princess Jayamah released a series of tweets accusing him of raping her.
Sharing her story, Princess said that the alleged incident occurred eight years ago when he accompanied a friend to his house in Lagos.
For so long I've kept this to myself but I have decided to speak out due to the boldness of Daffy Blanco & other rape victims. Let's expose these rapist for who they are, they have no right to take advantage of us. #SayNoToRape #SayNoToRapist #SurvivingPeruzzi

So one time in 2012, I can't really remember the date and the month
But I accompanied a friend "Aisha" to 1004.
And as at then, I think she had a thing with Peruzzi, I accompanied her there, we spent a night that day and I happened to stay in the same room with Aisha and Peruzzi— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
In the night, he started touching me
without my consent, I tried to tell him that that's wrong and besides
he has a girlfriend lying in between.
So I left the room and went to sleep in the mini parlour upstairs, I had to leave the room because I wasn't comfortable anymore— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
I tried to tapping my friend to wake up so she'd understand what was going on but she was too fast asleep.
So then I went to the parlour,
and he came out and I had to tell him to leave if not I was going to create a scene.— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
He obliged and went back to the room and for some time he didn't come out again.
I left the parlour upstairs and went downstairs to the main parlour
so I could sleep on the chair, I couldn't sleep in the other rooms cos it was occupied with his other friends he had over— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
When I was already fast asleep,
thinking he was just making advances and all, me saying "NO" maybe he got the message.
Being deep asleep and I felt someone trying to unbuckle my pants and then I woke up— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
And I'm like "YOU CAN'T DO THAT IT'S WRONG" that is when we started struggling and he was "PRESSING ON MY NECK"
Telling me I should chill and likes me, all this kind of shit and I'm like
Yo! "I'M NOT INTERESTED"— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
At that point struggling was very stressful, you know he tore my PANT and then he did what he did, He raped me.

I was too naive to know that I was meant to go for test, i was too scared of going to the police because as at then my parents didn't know I was in Lagos so I was scared to come out with the news
and ithe whole story of him raping me.— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
Similar with other accounts under the hastag, the young lady noted that she was empowered to tell her own story by the boldness of other rape victims who have shared theirs, including Daffy Blanco, a London based singer who accused Peruzzi of sexual molestation earlier in the year.
I've kept this inside me for over 8 years now and I finally feel a bit of relief speaking out. I hope my story would encourage more suppressed rape victims to speaker out, no matter the situation you find yourself no one has any right to rape you!

Her claims quickly sparked widespread reactions from Nigerians on the micro blogging platform, which caused the singer to quickly respond back to the rape allegation via his Twitter and Instagram pages.

In his response, Peruzzi reiterated that he has never abused a lady sexually and he does not intend to ever carry out the act.
MY NAME IS OKOH TOBECHUKWU, I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER BE A RAPIST.
