Nollywood actress, Cossy Orjiakor, has cried out in demand of justice, years after rumour of her having sex with a dog went viral on the Internet.
Back in 2002, Cossy’s career suffered a hit when a certain journalist, Tunde Moshood, alleged that the actress had sexual relations with a dog.
Moshood, the then publisher of Enquirer Magazine, also released footage of the actress where she appeared to be intimate with a dog, to back up his claim.
The movie star had constantly denied the rumour, explaining that the clip was a scene from the 2002 movie, Itohan, which tried to portray the precarious position of persons trafficked to other countries as sex slaves.
With renewed attention being paid to bestiality in the past weeks, the actress has called on law enforcement agents to revisit a report she made to them as regards the scandal which tanked her career in the last decade.
Recounting the experience via her Instagram page on Wednesday, Orijiakor said the rumour had resulted in emotional trauma and caused her to “lose her sense of purpose”
“Sometimes a lifetime award turns out to be a lifetime shame, that’s when Nigeria happens to you,” she wrote in the caption.
Tagging various handles of the Nigerian Police, she said, “I reported this case years ago. But I was just a naïve girl, a nobody. It was all over the news. Cossy Orijiakor slept with Dog and got HIV. My image, emotional trauma, my career, everything went down the drain. I lost my sense of purpose. Up to date, no justice, no apologies. Nothing.”
