Popular Nigerian journalist and a reporter for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has been put on blast on Nigerian Twitter.

Featured24 reports that this comes after human rights activist, Segun Awosanya, took to his official handle on the micro-blogging platform to accuse the journalist of threatening Seyitan Babatayo, the woman who accused singer D’banj of rape.

This newspaper recalls that Benjamin Ese had on June 3 in a Twitter thread accused Nigerian popular musician, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo also known as D’banj of raping Babatayo in her Lagos hotel room.

The alleged rape, according to Ese, who is said to be a friend of Ms. Babatatyo — on December 31, 2018, at an all-white party where D’Banj allegedly offered her friend some money to spend the night which she rejected until he surprisingly showed up in Seyitan’s hotel room at midnight.

This newspaper also reports that, Ms Babatayo in a letter written to the police and dated July 17, said she is withdrawing from her petition.

In the letter, Ms Babatayo, cited her reasons to withdraw from the case as personal.

However, following her withdrawal, Mr Awosanya popularly known as Segalink took to Twitter to accuse Kiki Mordi of 'playing the role of the hitman' to threaten Babatayo.

“Kiki Mordi is playing the role of the hitman under the auspices of the Coven sending threats to Seyitan and myself. We have it all on record,” he wrote.

“It will end in premium tears for her & their coven and she will be revealed for the monster that she’s become on this agenda. #EndRape,” Mr Awosanya tweeted.

Reacting to the development, the BBC Africa Eye Reporter who did not give a detailed response to the accusation said “if you didn’t hear from me or a statement signed by me, it’s not my truth.”

She said; “Guys I’m blocked by Sega I definitely can’t see the tantrums he’s throwing. I wish him peace. In the meantime he has my number and email and if I have committed a crime against him surely a man like Sega would know what to do.

“In case you’re wondering what my response to anything he’s saying is; if you didn’t hear from me or a statement signed by me, it’s not my truth.”

Kiki Mordi, the once celebrated reporter who was praised for her heroic report on the pervasive nature of sexual harassment of Nigerian women in universities in the country, has now turned to the enemy of Nigerians on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the lawyer of Dʼbanj, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), to has said despite Ms Babatayo's withdrawal from the petition, the singer is forging ahead with the N1.5bn libel suit filed against the accuser.

The real gist is the girl withdrew her case against dbanj but Kiki Modi and fellow devils parading as feminists wanted her to continue. Now the problem is when sega asked them (Kiki Modi , MissDSF and co to return the 1.6 million they illegally raised. They don't want to return the money and now they've resorted to send threats to sega and the girl. Last week there was a story of guy that commited suicide due to false rape accusation and I see a lot of nairalanders blaming the dead guy. The true story has confirmed by the girl is the guy had sex with her and broke up but the girl wanted a relationship, she then submitted her name to another devil that specialises in putting out names of rapists. The guys face and name was everywhere for a crime he didn't commit, the guy then begged girl to bring down his pictures but the girl told him blatantly that she was enjoying the attention. Which led the guy to suicide..you see most of these girls parading as feminists are demons and if nothing is done to curb their menace. a lot of irredeemable havoc will be wreked
