LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- In the wake of Speed Darlington’s rape confession of a minor, former Big Brother Naija star, Chukwuemeka Okoye, popularly known as Frodd, has spoken about suffering molestation as a child from his caregivers.
Taking to his X social, Frodd revealed that he was touched inappropriately by his caregivers from when he was five years old. He also disclosed that a neighbor also molested him during his early years.
He cherished his nanny, affectionately known as “Aunty Chinenye,” who uniquely saw him for the child he was and treated him with genuine care and warmth.

He wrote, “As a child, I was physically molested from the age of 5 to about 9 by different house helps we had except for the lady that nurtured me at my baby stage ( Aunty Chinenye) the rest may be reading this or they may be in different parts of the world, plus a certain neighbour.”
Frodd cautioned parents to be alert to signs of unusual interest or unease in their children around specific adults. Reflecting on his own past, he revealed that his parents’ lack of attention prevented him from opening up about the traumatic stress he suffered, emphasizing the importance of parental awareness and open communication.
“When your little boy or girl starts becoming attracted or irritated by a big aunty or uncle (watch those aunty’s well), We couldn’t speak then because parents didn’t give us that relationship and they never read the room,” Frodd advised.
