The Lagos State government said it has commenced investigation into sexual allegations against one Bandega.
Platform Times gathered that Bandega is accused of manipulating women into having sex with him, recording the act and using it to blackmail them.
One of the victims said Bandega uses his mobile phone, laptop and camera to snap pictures and record videos of him and his female lovers engaging in sexual intercourse without their permission.
He is said to use this system to make money selling the nudes of his lovers and blackmailing them into silence whenever he was caught in the act.
One of the victims, who gave her name only as Mokogwu, while demanding justice, said she decided to speak on the matter to prevent other unsuspecting ladies from becoming victims.
She said Bendega was fond of manipulating women only to have sex with him and use a mode of operation she described as an “open blank system” to record the sexual activity or take pictures of his unclad lovers.
“I had an affair with Bendega from October 2020 to September 2021. I met him when he was house hunting; we went through the process together, and I lived with him on and off till our love affair ended.
“I just knew something was up and checked his laptop which he borrowed me for a course and I found out that he was distributing and selling my nudes, and also had folders of several women he had non-consensually filmed, neatly filed and labelled on his laptop,” she said in a social media post.
Mokogwu disclosed that after her break up with Bendega, he harassed and stalked her months so she wouldn’t reveal what she had saw to anyone.
Another victim, while sharing her experience on social media, explained that Bendega told her he was using nude pictures and sex videos to cure his addiction to pornography and masturbation.
She wrote, “I found out that he had a collection of nudes. Each folder had a name tag. He said it was his addiction and that he was working on getting better. He made it seems like he needed my help and support and he deleted them to show me that he was trying to be better.
“I never sent any of my nudes before and I found it weird when he asked for them. But he said he enjoyed it and that he preferred I sent them to him rather than him asking. I would try to take it and send it but I would often forget. The first time we had sex, he started to record us.”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Agency, in a post using its Twitter handle, @lagosdsva, said the agency had contacted one of the victims, adding that efforts were on to address the case.
The agency’s Executive Secretary, Titilayo Vivour-Adeniyi, stated that the matter had already been presented to the police and would go public once the investigation commenced.
“We are working with the police. The case has already been presented to the police station. We are in touch with one of the survivors. Once investigation commences, we will do well to inform the public about it,” she said.
