‘I hate weak people,’ Tacha slams OAU student for forgiving false rape accuser

Reality TV star Tacha has taken to social media to criticise Ojuko Adefesobi David, a student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), for forgiving a fellow student who falsely accused him of rape, calling the decision “weak.”

The controversy began when David was accused by fellow OAU student Adewale Adeife, who posted on her WhatsApp status that he was a rapist. The allegation quickly went viral, circulating widely across social media and group chats. David explained that the misunderstanding started after he shared his opinion on the trending Mirabel case, which escalated into online attacks, with Adeife tagging him as a rapist.

Following the accusation, David’s lawyers, Anekwe & Associates, demanded a written apology, full retraction of defamatory statements, and N15 million in damages. The law firm described the claim as “malicious, reckless, and without any factual foundation,” noting that the circulation of the allegation had caused David sustained harassment, reputational damage, and loss of business opportunities.

In response, Adeife issued a public apology in a video, admitting that she acted in the heat of the moment:

“He is never a rapist. I’ve never caught him raping anybody. So, I am sorry, David, I’m sorry for calling you a rapist, and this is just to clear the air. He is not a rapist. David is not a rapist.”

Despite the ordeal, David chose to forgive his accuser, citing appeals from respected individuals and his parents, as well as the reflective spirit of Lent and Ramadan. He shared the apology letter publicly for transparency and thanked friends, his lawyer, and supporters for their support during the difficult period.

Tacha, however, was unimpressed. On X, she wrote:

“I genuinely dislike WEAK people. Someone literally tried to ruin your life and failed, and you still chose to play ‘forgive and forget.’ I hate weak people.”
