Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Chukwuemeka Okoye, popularly known as Frodd, has revealed that he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child, sharing that the experience began when he was just five years old.
The reality TV star made the disclosure on Friday in the comment section of an Instagram blog post, where he detailed being molested by multiple househelps and a neighbour between the ages of five and nine.
Frodd used the opportunity to caution parents, urging them to be more observant of how their children interact with adults in their surroundings.

“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 may be in different parts of the world — plus a certain neighbour,” he wrote.
He further warned parents to pay attention to behavioral changes in their children, especially when they show discomfort or unusual attachment around older individuals. “When your little boy or girl starts becoming attracted or irritated by a big aunty or uncle, watch those aunties well. We couldn’t speak then because parents didn’t give us that relationship and they never read the room,” he added.
Frodd’s emotional revelation came in the wake of widespread public outrage sparked by a viral video showing controversial singer Speed Darlington claiming to have had sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl.
