Following the rape and death of 22 year old Uwa Omozuwa, many victims of rape have taken to social media to share their survivor stories. In latest developments, Nigerian artistes Dbanj and Peruzzi have been accused of rape by two women on Twitter.

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— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
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.— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
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— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
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”— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
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.— Princess (@Jayamah22) June 3, 2020
Tweets from Peruzzi that same year have also implied that he supported rape.
In a related event, another Twitter user, Seyitann has accused Dbanj of raping her in her hotel room.
I was invited for an all white party at Eko Atlantic(splash off)which was an all night party on the 30th of December 2018, by franklin Dbanj ex manager at that time and I went with my friend then named Laide.

When I got to the party I met a girl at the party named Oyin,who was with a guy who happens to be Dbanj’s friend. she asked who I came with I told her the person I came with already left.
— Aunty Seyitan (@seyitannn_) June 3, 2020
On getting to the hotel,Oyin called me when I got to my room. and told me dbanj saw me at the party and he wanted to be with me for the night and I was offered a sum of money but i bluntly refused because I wasn’t interested.

So I slept off within 5/6am and pls note (I’m a naked sleeper) and woke up and found Dbanj in my room already,and I asked him what he was doing in my room he didn’t say a word and *asked if I was a baby* and started fingering me,
— Aunty Seyitan (@seyitannn_) June 3, 2020
I went ahead to threaten him that I was going to shout he said if i shout I’ll leave the hotel naked, Dbanj raped me .
— Aunty Seyitan (@seyitannn_) June 3, 2020
when he left and I got to see he came in with an extra key (card) and I later found out that Dbanj lodged all his staffs in the hotel..Then I called my supposed friend Oyin who I saw at the party if she planned with Dbanj she said No.
— Aunty Seyitan (@seyitannn_) June 3, 2020
She came downstairs to meet me where I was crying. She asked us to go upstairs to meet her guy who was Dbanj’s friend. when I got there the guy was disappointed and begged me to keep quiet and promised me Dbanj will call me and apologize.

This allegation comes a day after Dbanj condemned rape on his Instagram page.
He has however, not denied or acknowledged this allegation.
