Summary: Reality TV star Neo Akpofure has been accused of rape by a woman identified as Notralia on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. The woman stated that Neo raped her at the University of Calabar after she confronted him about being in a relationship while they were casual sex partners.
Reality TV star Neo Akpofure has been accused of rape by an X user identified as Notralia. She made the allegation in a post on Tuesday, February 17, 2026.
“Neo Akpofure is also a rapist. He raped me in Unical; he should come out and deny it. We were casual sex buddies with the clause that he wasn’t in a relationship. I found out he was and went to his apartment to confront him. So he raped me. Neo, come and say you didn’t do it,” she wrote.
The woman stated that she and Neo Akpofure were in a casual sexual relationship with the understanding that he was not in a committed relationship with anyone else. She tweeted that she discovered he was in a relationship and went to his apartment at the University of Calabar to confront him, where she stated he raped her.
She challenged Neo Akpofure to deny the allegation publicly. As of the time of writing this report, Neo Akpofure, who gained fame as a finalist on Big Brother Naija Season 5 (Lockdown) in 2020 and later competed on Big Brother Naija: All Stars in 2023, has not made any public statement in response to the rape allegation. There is no confirmation from the police of any investigation or report filed.
The allegation has sparked discussions on social media about sexual violence and consent, with many users calling for accountability.
Following the allegation, Neo Akpofure responded on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, by posting a legal letter from his lawyers, E.L. Akpofure, SAN & Co., demanding that Notralia retract her statement and issue a public apology within 48 hours.
“Your allegation is entirely false, malicious and defamatory to say the least. It portrays our Client as a sexual offender and a criminal, thereby subjecting him to public odium, reputational injury, emotional distress, and severe personal and professional damage,” the letter stated.
Naija Feminists Media has reported on women publicly exposing their rapists and demanding justice. In previous reports, NFM covered a woman’s account of being raped inside her home by a rejected suitor and the case of Araromi Emmanuel, who was exposed for rape and sexual extortion.
Editor’s note: This report has been updated with Neo’s response.
