Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Khafi says she was raped at some point in her life.
The reality TV star shared the harrowing experience via her Twitter page on Tuesday, June 2, 2020.
According to her, the reason she didn’t report the rapist was because the one person she told about the incident, ended up blaming her for getting raped.

“#WhyIDidntReport – because he apologised right after. Because I made myself believe him being drunk was an excuse. Because the one person I did tell said I caused it. Because I felt dirty and ashamed. #WeAreTired,” she tweeted.
