According to Bella, she reconnected with Richard in 2021 when she came across a video of him on social media.

At the time, her mum was sick so she told him about it and Richard helped her out with 30,000 naira.

She said that when she moved back to Lagos same 2021,(at the time she was 17 years, and Richard, 21) Richard was always asking her to come to his place, and his request became too frequent and persistent that, according to her, she jokingly asked him if his intention was to raape her because of how he was always asking her to his house.

Bella said that Richard had found her naive remark offensive and warned her never to joke with the sensitive word again.

She revealed that she had apologized, he accepted but still went on to block her and they never really spoke much again since then until March 2023.

They reconnected in 2023 and he began with his previous request, when she didn’t come to his place, he began acting up, cussing her and her family and demanding a refund of the 30K he had sent in 2021.

Bella said that he began posting various things on his status about her and said that the only way he’d forgive her for trying to ‘accuse’ him of raape in 2021 was if she made an apology video.
