A social media user identified as King Chidi has stirred massive controversy online after publicly blaming Favour, the 20-year-old woman who allegedly took her own life in July 2026 following a reported sexual assault by content creator Odogwu Asaba.
Rather than directing anger at the accused, Chidi, in a post online on Thursday, July 16, 2026, turned his attention to Favour herself, sharing a photo of her on Instagram and questioning her character based on her appearance and online behaviour.

He argued that she was not as innocent as people were making her out to be, pointing to videos of her dancing online as evidence of her character, instead of blaming the content creator who was arrested on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
Chidi doubles down on victim-blaming stance
Chidi acknowledged that his comments had sparked a wave of backlash, with users flooding his comment section after he called Favour "stupid" for agreeing to meet someone she barely knew at a hotel without informing her family.

He maintained, however, that people were too focused on the outcome of the situation and not enough on what he described as preventable circumstances.
In his view, young women need to stop seeking attention on social media, and he concluded that Favour bore some responsibility for what happened to her. His posts drew immediate and widespread condemnation, with many describing his comments as dangerous and deeply insensitive.
