BBNaija alumnus Frodd has revealed a painful chapter of his childhood, disclosing that he was sexually abused by multiple domestic workers from the age of five until he was nine.
The father of two shared his harrowing experience to raise awareness and encourage parents to be more vigilant about their children’s interactions with adults.
“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 revealed.
Using his own story as a cautionary tale, Frodd urged parents to pay close attention to their children’s reactions around adults. He emphasized the importance of recognizing subtle signs of discomfort or attraction, saying, “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’s candid confession sparked a wave of reactions about sexual abuse, particularly among children. Many people with similar experiences felt empowered to share their stories, highlighting the prevalence of such abuse.
One user commented, “You would be surprised at the statistics of 1990s babies that were m0l3ted. Both male and female. I am so glad that in this era, parents have become conscious of such and more protective.”
Another added, “You see those big aunty that called us my husband, I won’t forget. Please protect your child from those AUNTY.”
Others pointed out that sexual abuse is not limited by gender, with one user stating, “That woman speaks up more often doesn’t mean men don’t get m0lested.”
This conversation on sexual abuse comes shortly after Speed Darlington faced public backlash following a viral Instagram livestream.
During the live session, he shockingly alleged that he had sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl at an unnamed hotel. He further claimed that the girl was left bleeding after the encounter and that he paid the hotel staff N2,000 to change the sheets.
