Nigerian man commits suicide after being accused of rape by a Twitter influencer
A young Nigerian man has reportedly taken his own life after he was accused of rape by a Twitter influencer.
#JusticeForIzu is currently trending on Twitter after a user named Legend Izu Madubueze took his life when a Twitter influencer named Nanichi Anese published his name and other names 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”.
Izu made an attempt to clear his name but his accuser was not cooperative.
Izu 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.
His last tweet was on Friday, July 17, and it reads:
“Oh and if you’re reading this, I’m dead lol.”
His accuser, Nani has deactivated her account after Izu’s suicide was made public.
Social media users are demanding Justice for Izu.

He refused to go with your terms and you accuse him of rape. Now he’s committed suicide. I just hope your concience speak a word or two to you. #JusticforIzu #saynotofalserapeaccusations

Someone was accused of nonphysical sexual assault and added to a list of rapists.
The young man pleaded with the curator of said list to tell him who his accuser was, the curator refused.
The young man has committed suicide and the curator has locked her account.

To us men, I think is time we start seeing these ladies (feminist) as enemy to humanity. They are destroying lives daily, destroying hard work some of these guys has labor for over the years as a result of false accusations. We confront them and stop giving strength do more evil.
