Nigerian Lady accuses Peruzzi of Raping Her

Sequel to the report of the rape and gruesome murder of University of Benin undergraduate, social media users in Nigeria have taken to several platforms to share their sexual assault and rape story.

One of the alleged survivors of rape is a Nigerian lady with the Twitter handle @jayamah22 who shared how she was raped by popular singer, Peruzzi in 2012.

The lady who claimed she visited the singer with her friend who according to her was Peruzzi’s girlfriend at the time, shared how she struggled with the singer in his house before she was finally subdued by him.

Read her story below:

For so long I’ve kept this to myself but I have decided to speak out due to the boldness of Daffy Blanco & other rape victims. Let’s expose these rapist for who they are, they have no right to take advantage of us. #SayNoToRape #SayNoToRapist #SurvivingPeruzzi

So one time in 2012, I can’t really remember the date and the month
But I accompanied a friend “Aisha” to 1004.
And as at then, I think she had a thing with Peruzzi, I accompanied her there, we spent a night that day and I happened to stay in the same room with Aisha and Peruzzi

In the night, he started touching me
without my consent, I tried to tell him that that’s wrong and besides
he has a girlfriend lying in between.
So I left the room and went to sleep in the mini parlour upstairs, I had to leave the room because I wasn’t comfortable anymore

I tried to tapping my friend to wake up so she’d understand what was going on but she was too fast asleep.
So then I went to the parlour,
and he came out and I had to tell him to leave if not I was going to create a scene.

He obliged and went back to the room and for some time he didn’t come out again.
I left the parlour upstairs and went downstairs to the main parlour
so I could sleep on the chair, I couldn’t sleep in the other rooms cos it was occupied with his other friends he had over

When I was already fast asleep,
thinking he was just making advances and all, me saying “NO” maybe he got the message.
Being deep asleep and I felt someone trying to unbuckle my pants and then I woke up

And I’m like “YOU CAN’T DO THAT IT’S WRONG” that is when we started struggling and he was “PRESSING ON MY NECK”
Telling me I should chill and likes me, all this kind of shit and I’m like
Yo! “I’M NOT INTERESTED”
At that point struggling was very stressful, you know he tore my PANT and then he did what he did, He raped me.

I was too naive to know that I was meant to go for test, i was too scared of going to the police because as at then my parents didn’t know I was in Lagos so I was scared to come out with the news
and ithe whole story of him raping me.

I’ve kept this inside me for over 8 years now and I finally feel a bit of relief speaking out. I hope my story would encourage more suppressed rape victims to speaker out, no matter the situation you find yourself no one has any right to rape you!

As at the time of this post, the singer is yet to comment on this story. Also, recall that Peruzzi was called out by UK based rapper who claimed that the singer tried to rape her not too long ago.
