Following the sad incident of a young lady, Uwa Omozuwa, who was raped and murdered on Saturday, May 30, 2020 in Benin city, many people are coming out to make their voices heard on the matter. Joining in the movement is former Big Brother Naija housemate, Khafi who disclosed that she was raped at some point in her life.
The reality TV star took to twitter to share gruesome experience yesterday. According to her, the reason she didn’t report the rapist was because the one person she told about the incident, put the blame on her instead.
#WhyIDidntReport – because he apologised right after. Because I made myself believe him being drunk was an excuse. Because the one person I did tell said I caused it. Because I felt dirty and ashamed. #WeAreTired

Yes this did happen to me. I’m sharing in the hope that others will feel no shame in sharing what happened to them. Please don’t deflect or say it is not my story when it was already hard enough sharing it.
