Tobechukwu Victor Okoh popular called by Peruzzi has rejected claims he raped anyone.Peruzzi who released a statement on Thursday June 4 insisted that he hated rape and he cannot condo such.According to the singer,he wrote
In light of recent allegations, accusing me of rape in 2012,I want to say that I,Tochukwu Victor Okoh, strongly refute such claim.I have never and will never rape or sexually assault anybody.The claim is false and has also been refuted by a witness who was present at the time of the allegation.Rape is a heinous and cowardly act,which I do not condone.I am ashamed and deeply apologetic for a series of tweet posted on social media 8 years ago.Those tweets were irresponsible and ill-informed.I was younger and didn't fully grasp the implications of making such statements.They are neither a reflection of who I am then,or now.
I sympathise and stand with all victims and survivors of rape.I do not take your trauma lightly.My heart goes out to the families of Uwazila,Ada,Farishina and all other survivors who have courageously spoken about their abuse in recent times,may the Almighty heal your hearts.It is my earnest prayer that the perpetrators be brought to book.Once again,I sincerely apologise for those tweets, containing really stupid and insensitive statement;I take full responsibility,as I should have know better.
Say no to rape
