A young man named Izu Madubueze takes his own life over sex accusations by a lady.
The Lady, Nanichianese @nanichianese added his name to a list of predators while all efforts to vindicate himself proved abortive.
According to Izu Madubueze, he has lived and grappled with the trauma brought on by the accusation for close to 3 years. He watched people who should have trusted him distance themselves from him without giving him a chance.
The burden was so heavy that he once attempted suicide. This time around, he closed all his social media handles before his demise.
In an excerpt of the suicide video he posted on twitter just before he took his own life on July 16, 2020, Izu said:
“I wasn’t ever given a fair chance to clear my name or explain my side of the story or verify whether any of the allegations against me were true or not.
“This whole situation reiterates why I don’t need to be here…I still maintain that I don’t know how or the person who said I sexually harassed her.
“To the girls who posted the list, thank you for posting the list… I can’t shoot the massager. You denied me the opportunity to clear my name.
…“understand what a safe place is first before you claim to create it… to everyone who reached out to me and tried to hear my side of the story, to everyone who supported me, thank you – it wasn’t in vain, I just don’t have much to live for.”
Izu Madubueze’s name featured in a list of sex offenders posted on Twitter by a yet to be identified lady who took down her twitter handle when she probably herd of his demise.
His family has posted a statement saying they forgive his accusers but would not rest until justice is dealt his case.
Press release from the Madubueze family:
#RIPIZU has been trending all day with some people offering to contribute to a crowd funding for justice to be dealt his case.
