Nigeria: Man commits suicide after being accused of rape by Twitter influencer

A young Nigerian has allegedly committed suicide after being accused of rape by a Twitter influencer who refused to provide further details.

#JusticeForIzu is currently trending on Twitter after a user named Legend Izu Madubueze took his life when a Twitter influencer by name, Nanichi Anese, published his name and that of others as men accused of rape.

It was revealed that Izu reached out to Nani and asked to know who he raped but she didn’t have a good answer, instead she claimed the accuser wanted to remain anonymous. She later said the alleged victim said it was a “non physical sexual assault”.
