The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) has withdrawn a case where a Nigerian man was charged at Milimani Law courts for allegedly forcing his Kenyan girlfriend to perform oral sex on him and posting the video online.
The accused identified as Joseph Adekunle Odu was charged with assault, threatening to kill, cyber harassment, and being in possession of bhang.
According to a police report, Odu requested the complainant, Caroline Wanjiku Wairimu, to meet him in his Ruaka house to settle some domestic issues.
When she arrived, Odu allegedly accused her of sleeping with other men and threatened to kill her with a knife.
He then forced her to perform oral sex on him at knifepoint while recording the act on his phone and later posted the video on his WhatsApp status and Instagram account.
“I woke up in the morning and found a lot of missed calls and messages on my phone from people trying to ask me whether I was ok. I was shocked because I didn’t understand what was going on,” read the statement of the complainant.
The complainant appearing before Magistrate Robinson Ondieki told the court that she willingly and without coercion chose to withdraw the case.
The prosecution did not object to the withdrawal of the case.
The court allowed the application for withdrawal and the accused person was acquited on all the counts of sexual assault.
