Nollywood actress and media personality, Omotunde Adebowale-David, also known as Lolo 1, has revealed that she was r@ped by a male colleague in the broadcast industry six years ago.
The media personality made the claim on her podcast, Say My Piece. While not naming her attacker, Lolo explained that doing so now will only make people criticise her for not speaking out when it happened six years ago and instead waited until the person became established in the industry.
The actress said she is still traumatised by the attack six years later, noting that she goes into a momentary panic whenever she sees her attacker; something she says happens ‘every other day’.
“I hardly ever say this, and I am not even ready to tell the full story. The stories of sexu@l assault. When I discussed it with my daughter yesterday, she held my hand and said, ‘Mummy, you’ve gone through so much.’ And I said I had.
I remember how many of those things I have to relive. I have been r@ped only once in my life, and a colleague r@ped me. I see him every other day. Do you know how traum@tised I am? When I see him, I just get into this momentary panic.
But if a woman of my calibre named him, he’s an established person in the broadcast industry, won’t people say, ‘How come I didn’t speak about it for all these six years until now that he’s taking a prominent TV position?’
Lolo added that women often respond to sexu@l ass@ult with denial and self-blaming, highlighting the complexities of trauma and recovery.

Who is the male friend that was very close to this woman six years ago?We may not know the circumstances, but then, I wonder how a big woman like this would claim rape. Could it be a case of you not being in the mood and he forced himself on you and eventually penetrated you?

As in Really?!? This last sentence you wrote right here, is the very definition of r@pe itself! ‘Not in the mood’ indicates lack of interest! ‘Forced himself’ indicates it was non-consensual!

The reason I always say 98 percent of people on this LIB streets are dumb people. No education, no social skills, no public decorum, just a lot of dense people with data on their phones.

Why do people only open up when the alleged aggressor becomes successful? It should become a crime also when rape victims don't open up immediately to enable authorities stop the rapist from attacking other people. Dear I hope you get justice if your story is true.

May God help us all and deliver us from evil. It’s very easy to say if it were you, you’ll speak up, but even as an adult, speaking up about sexual assault isn’t as easy. I’m praying for my unborn children not to experience such trauma in Jesus name 🙏🏽

I knew that once that Slut from kogi state succeeded in her false sexual harassment claims, it would open a floodgate for other sluts to accuse innocent men. That's why she must be stopped by all means

Bro i am a man like you and also a father. Don't call Natasha or any other lady against sexual harassment a slut. If they are your daughter, sisters, nieces, cousins will you call them slut. Bro when it comes to sex don trust any man. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and men keep doing this because they know ladies don't speak up.

Unless the person is lying! But again, how would you know if it's true or not? If there's no evidence to prove her case, should we still hang the man because she said so?

Women don't speak up because no one believes them. It's sad because the average Nigerian guy thinks rape is ok.

Some unsavory and damaging information are better kept as personal secrets forever, while the victims seek counseling, try to heal quickly and move on with their lives. The story should have provided more details and clarity , to enhance its credibility. Where did the incident happen? Your office, his office, his home or yours or tricked to a neutral location? Were you on a date with him, that went awry, and led to the non-consensual sex? Outing yourself like this on social media does a lot of damage to your public image, as a celebrity, and a role model to some youngsters. As a man, I'll not be pleased if a lady i have a crush on, or a girlfriend comes out to spill out an ugly past innocent like this. As a mother, you may have said it to your daughters as a learning pricess, to guard against such stuff happenings to them in the future, but don't rule out the possibility of your children's peers, mocking them if any of them come across this your undignifying expose. Application of Wisdom is paramount when divulging personal information on social media, due to its viral nature. .

I had always thought that lolo was a bold and forthright person, but this her statement is unfortunately cowardly and cunning. She has just thrown all her male colleagues under the bus by not naming the exact person. Now everyone will think that the men working with her are rapists since it could be any male colleague. If she thinks that she is doing a "Natasha Akpoti" she is wrong. Natasha Akpoti was bold enough to name the person and insists that she has evidence (by the way nothing short of evidence in writing, video or audio evidence or another human witness can effectively prove a case of alleged sexual harassment).
