Legend Izu Madubueze

A young Nigerian man, Legend Izu Madubueze has reportedly ended his life by committing suicide after he was accused of rape by a Twitter influencer.

It was gathered that the young man 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.

See tweets below:

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.

Teach women to stop weaponising rape.
Teach women that It's ok to be rejected by men.
Teach women to respect the choices of men when it comes to who they date.

It's almost impossible to fight accusations once they've been made, and today we saw its dark side. #JusticeForIzu

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
