Nollywood actor, Moses Armstrong, has denied the rape allegations levelled against him.
Recall that Armstrong, who was aide to the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, was arrested in June and sent to prison.
He was prosecuted for allegedly raping a minor – a teenage girl he adopted and was living with his (Armstrong’s) family.
The actor was first arraigned before a Magistrate’s Court in Uyo on June 17, but the case was struck out after the Magistrate, Samuel Ukoima, ruled that the matter was not properly filed.
He was alleged to have been charged with rape, intimidation, conspiracy, and supplying of drugs or instruments to procure abortion.
He pleaded not guilty to all four charges.
Armstrong was granted bail in the sum of N5 million by Justice Ntong Ntong.
Upon perfecting his bail conditions, he got home to a rousing welcome Tuesday night.
Taking to his Facebook page, Armstrong said he never raped anyone.
He announced that he got home to a party organised by his kids, friends and colleagues in the Nigerian movie industry.
“Coming back to meet a rousing welcome party, organised on behalf of my humble self… by my beautiful kids, my guardian Angel Akeem Oguntoye, that same Comedian Sir James Essien a perfect brother, best Son Nifty Bass and my wonderful Son Ezekiel Ezekiel, my perfect friend and brother Henry Huk and a host of other friends, colleagues, Sons and daughters of mine,” he wrote.
He also disclosed that he was happy he went to prison because “God went with me
“Nothing Pass God. If you believe, you will receive. Nothing Pass God. I did not rape nobody. I don’t rape…I have never raped.
“And I will never rape. I’m back stronger and better…I’m happy I went to prison, God went with me.
“The experience is awesome. You will hear it soon. Blessings to all of you Angels that believed in me. Love you all deeply. #ONELOVE #AkwaIbomFinest,” he wrote.
