A woman named Queen, also known as Omojo, has broken her silence regarding the sexual assault allegations against social media figure Odogwu Asaba. In a video shared on Instagram, Queen confirmed that she worked as a salesgirl under Odogwu Asaba before leaving his employment in April. She provided a video of the two working together as evidence of her claim.
Queen distances herself from controversy
Queen was clear from the outset that she had no involvement in the unfolding situation. "I don't have a hand in what is happening to him now," she stated firmly, distancing herself from the controversy. She acknowledged seeing the news about the allegations but said her reaction was different from most people's. Rather than being shocked, she said the reports aligned with what she already knew about Odogwu's character.
"I saw it, but e no shock me like e shock yo people because I know the kind of person he is," she said in the video.
Pressure to speak out
Queen also addressed the pressure she felt from people expecting her to publicly speak out. She made it clear that she had now said her piece and did not intend to say more. In perhaps the most striking part of her statement, Queen suggested that the victim's death is what would finally convince sceptics of the truth of the allegations.
"If to say that girl never kpia, una no go believe her," she said, implying the public had been unwilling to take the complainant seriously while she was alive.
Background on the allegations
