Just some few days back, a TV presenter and model, Emilia Samuel accused a filmmaker working for Linda Ikeji, Theo Ukpaa of rape. The lady claimed he raped her when she was 16.

She claimed he might want to deny committing the act, but her model colleagues who were working with her at the time can attest to the allege rape.

Read her post in case you missed:

Here's what happened to me years back, I forgot about it partially and I ran into his page last week when he got married and the memories came back. He was working at @soundcityafrica as at when it happened and he presently works at @officiallindaikeji please kindly read before you judge and I know most models can attest to this.

Pleaseeeee help me repost this @instablog9ja @tundeednut @stelladimokokorkus @ijeomadaisy @bellanaijaonline @olorisupergal @nigerianwomendiary @generalwayne @chinnysblogng thank you. This is the guy I'm talking about @theoukpaa

The latest development to that story now is that his employer Linda Ikeji TV has relieved him of his job at the organisation.

Read their statement below:

I personally wanted to let everyone know that Theo Ukpaa, who was Head of Programmes at Linda Ikeji TV is no longer a staff of the company. His job with my company was terminated on Monday August 27th just a day after I read the heartbreaking story of Emilia Samuel.

The general public is therefore advised not to transact any business with him in the name of Linda Ikeji TV as anyone who does it, does so at his/her own risk.

Thank you

Linda

You are quick to give her credit for it..

Let me ask you a question.. what if you're the Theo guy and this accusation happens to be false?

If it false well I hope he get something better ,but why have the guy not debunk this and secondly the lady has witnesses. Let's wait and see how the event unfold.

if the story is true, it is a very sad one.... what was this "supposed rapist" answer to these serious allegations?!

Amen to the bolded part..

You are right but you should know the guy will definitely debunk it soon..

My own question is..why is the girl just making it known now after so many years? Plus she could have reported to the police and not social media... Imagine the girl claiming to have forgotten about it partially until she saw that the guy was getting married and the memories came back.. Do rape victims forget rape partially

My reason for not finding it easy to believe rape allegations these days is because many girls to this to get at people for some reasons other than the rape alleged.

who will hire this guy in Nigeria again,he has lost his livelihood because of 5mins of pleasure.

Hmmm. Na wa

one thing i've come to know about most Nigerians is that things like evidence, fact and proof doesn't exist in their vocabulary. like where's the hard earn evidence the said guy raped this girl.

So, a girl just came online and wrote a story about how a guy raped her over a decade ago and voila! The guy is guilty to the point he gets fired from his job.

Trust women and you are doomed.
