#JusticeForIzu: Young Nigerian Man Allegedly Commits Suicide After Being Falsely Accused Of Rαpe

A young Nigerian named Izu Madubueze (@Legend_Izu on Twitter) has allegedly committed suicide after being falsely accused of rape by a Twitter influencer identified as Nanichi Anese.

According to reports, Nani had compiled of a list of those she claimed are sex offenders, including Izu’s name, and posted it on Twitter.

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”.

Izu tried many times to get her remove his name from the list because he was innocent, but Nani who was not cooperative, blocked him instead.

The young man later left a note apologizing though he stated that he doesn’t know what he did or who he hurt that led to him being accused.

Izu couldn’t handle backlash from the false rape accusation. He eventually committed suicide and Nani has deactivated her account after Izu’s suicide was made public.

His last tweet was on Friday, July 17, 2020, and it reads: “Oh and if you’re reading this, I’m dead lol.”

Older chats from Izu’s phone allegedly shows that Nani had asked him out before but he declined, meaning that Nani accused Izu of rape simply because he rejected her advances to initiate a relationship.

#JusticeForIzu is currently trending on Twitter as Nigerians are demanding Justice for Izu.
