Former BBNaija Star Frodd Shares Childhood Sexual Abuse Ordeal, Urges Parents to Stay Vigilant

Chukwuemeka Okoye, popularly known as Frodd from Big Brother Naija, recently shared a harrowing experience of being sexually abused as a child.

Commenting on an Instagram blog post, the reality TV star revealed that between ages five and nine, he endured abuse from several househelps and a neighbor.

He noted that only one caregiver, Aunty Chinenye, who looked after him in his early years, did not harm him.

Frodd urged parents to closely monitor their children’s interactions with adults, highlighting behavioral changes as potential red flags. He reflected on how, as a child, he lacked the voice to speak out due to the absence of open communication with his parents.

He wrote: “As a child, I was physicallymolested from the age of 5 about 9 by different house helps we had except for the lady that nurtured me at my baby stage (Aunty Chinenye) the rest may be reading this or they may be in different parts of the world

Plus a certain neighbor When your little boy or girl starts becoming attracted or irritated to a big aunty or uncle (watch those aunties well)We couldn’t speak then because parents didn’t give us that relationship and they never read the room”

This disclosure comes amid public uproar over a video of Speed Darlington admitting to sexual activity with a 15-year-old, prompting the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency to refer the matter to NAPTIP for further action.

Frodd, the second runner-up in the 2019 BBNaija ‘Pepper Dem’ season, also participated in the 2023 All Stars edition, where he was evicted in the fifth week alongside Tolanibaj.
