Nigerian junior athlete accused of rape in America gets freedom, cries out

Nigerian junior athlete, Emmanuel Ineh Ortisemeyiwa, was a promising athlete with potential to be a world champion in the long jump, but his life and athletics career took a tragic turn after he was accused of rape in Alabama, United States.

“I was married to an American citizen, and I was given relief during my removal proceedings, but I elected to come back home voluntarily, because of my mental health.”
 
Narrating his story, Oritsemeyiwa said: “There was this girl I had consensual sex with on our first date. As a student athlete, it was hard to resist girls who practically threw themselves at you.

“She became really clingy, so, I told her I didn’t want a relationship. I ended all ties with her.
 
“A year and eight months later, I got married and she came asking why I got married; if it was because of papers or if I actually loved my wife? I then told her that I don’t talk about my life with people.
 
“She got very irritated. The next day, I went to my apartment complex housing station to hangout. She was already there waiting. I didn’t touch her, yet she accused me of rape.
