The deceased recounting how she met Asaba, she had reached out to him online while seeking financial help because she was facing personal challenges, explaining that she deliberately sought his advice after another man wanted to have sex with her first before he could help her with money.
“This video is dedicated to him. As of Friday, two weeks ago — today is 14 July — was when the incident happened. I met him online and told him I had some challenges and needed money to solve them.”
“I told him I know of a man from Asaba but based in Abuja, and that the man wanted to have intercourse with me, but I couldn’t go… I needed someone to talk to because I don’t have any friends’
Penpushing further reports that Favour added that the alleged rapist discouraged her from travelling to Abuja but instead invited her to Asaba, that he was going to help her, and thereafter embarked on the fateful journey
“He (content creator) asked me to meet him in Asaba on Friday, that he was going to help me. He did not tell me that he was going to sleep with me before helping me. He did not engage in any conversations with me on sex that I would now say, okay, I’m going there’, she explained
Penpushing also reports that the lady said she travelled without informing her parents, adding that only her twin sister knew she was going to Asaba, and that she gave her the suspect’s phone number and name.

“I didn’t have it in mind that he would demand sex because he is a popular person and would not try rubbish because people would drag him online. That is where my mistakes came from. “We went inside, and he started saying stuff that he likes me and would like to have sex with me.”
