According to him, 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.

"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," he wrote.

"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."
