Court Charges Victoria Ayomide Agboola After False Rape Allegation Against Paul Okoye

Victoria Ayomide Agboola, popularly known on social media as @Chubbiedivah, has officially been arrested and charged to court after falsely accusing Nigerian music star Paul Okoye (Rudeboy) of rape earlier in the year. The case, which first erupted in September, sparked widespread controversy and public outrage as the singer vowed to pursue full legal action to clear his name and set what he called a necessary precedent against malicious online defamation.

The controversy began when Agboola posted a series of claims alleging that Paul Okoye had sexually assaulted his then-househelp, Ivy, who later became his partner. Although many online users questioned the credibility of her story from the start, the allegations circulated rapidly, prompting Rudeboy to respond directly—something he rarely does. In a strongly-worded statement on X (formerly Twitter), Okoye promised to track her down using every available resource, insisting that she would face the law for what he described as a dangerous and deliberate fabrication.

Following her post, Agboola abruptly deactivated her X account, abandoned her online platforms, and reportedly fled her marital home in an apparent attempt to evade the backlash and possible legal consequences. However, her disappearance was short-lived. On November 6, 2025, she was arrested and taken into custody. Four days later, on November 10, she was formally charged to court.

Sources close to the matter revealed that Rudeboy intentionally refrained from sharing updates about her arrest to prevent any potential public sympathy that could influence the process or embolden attempts to obstruct justice. His goal, according to those familiar with his position, was to ensure that the case followed a lawful and uninterrupted path.

Not long after her detention, Agboola reportedly complained of health complications—claiming difficulty breathing and swollen legs. Her legal team requested medical leave, promising that she would return for the scheduled hearing on November 10. She did not appear.

Her lawyers then reported that her medical condition was “serious,” prompting the court to adjourn the hearing to November 17. Again, Agboola failed to appear, with her counsel repeating the excuse that she remained under medical supervision.

With growing concerns about her repeated absences and suspected attempts to evade trial, the court issued a new and firm date: December 1, 2025. The judge ruled that either Agboola herself or her legal representative must be present without fail. The court emphasized that the matter would no longer be delayed on the basis of unverified medical claims.

This case has reignited discussions about the real-world consequences of false rape allegations—an issue that legal experts say can destroy reputations, undermine genuine victims, and create social tension. Rudeboy and supporters argue that false accusations must be treated with the same seriousness as real assaults, as both have life-altering consequences.

Many Nigerians online expressed support for Rudeboy’s decision to pursue the matter to its legal conclusion, underscoring the dangers of weaponized social media narratives. The general sentiment is that Agboola’s prosecution may serve as a deterrent to others who casually make defamatory claims for clout, personal grudges, or political motives.

As the December 1 court date approaches, all eyes remain on the proceedings. Regardless of the outcome, the case stands as one of the most prominent examples of the escalating legal pushback against digital defamation in Nigeria, especially when it involves claims as severe as sexual assault.

Rudeboy, through his actions, has reasserted that no individual should be allowed to tarnish another’s reputation without evidence, and that false allegations—particularly of rape—carry grave consequences.
