Nigerian singer, Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, popularly known as Peruzzi, has apologised for some of his old tweets in which he boasts about raping women after being forced to deny another allegation of sexual assault.
The 30-year-old singer apologised for the tweets on Twitter on Thursday, saying that they are ‘not him.’
The Lagos-born singer again denied the claim made by a woman with Instagram username @Jayamah22, who on Tuesday accused him of raping her in 2012.
“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’m ashamed and deeply apologetic for a series of tweets posted on social media 8 years ago,” he added.
“In light of recent allegations, accusing me of rape in 2012, I want to say that I, Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, strongly refute such claim. I have never and will never rape or sexually assault anybody,” he wrote.
