Former radio presenter of YFM, Adaeze Onyinyechie Ayoka, also known as Ada, has resurfaced, this time round expressing disappointment about the way the Ghana Police Service has handled investigations into her supposed kidnap and rape saga and requested for an apology from the Service.
“I was virtually raped. The police should come back to the public and probably apologize. It is not for me. It is for their reputation. It is not for me,” Ada said during a recent on The Pulse on Multi TV and described some of what the Police said about the 2015 incident as ‘big black lies.’
News broke in April 2015 that the YFM radio presenter had been kidnapped and raped by some unknown persons. Photos of naked Ada in the company of some men who appeared to be sexually assaulting her also went viral on social media just around the same period.
A statement from her employers, calling on the public to help with information on Ada’s whereabouts also gave some credence to the supposed kidnap and rape tale but Ada, later, was found unhurt and over a year after that incident, there has not been an official report that explains what actually happened.
Speaking on The Pulse, Ada said she has hazy recollections of what happened: “I remembered being in a room full of smoke. I could see people around me, I couldn’t really make them out. I wasn’t in total control…I am not really somebody who smokes. I am not a smoke person…The next thing I saw, I was in a car moving from Takoradi to Accra…the next thing I was in the police station then I was in the hospital, then I was handcuffed…Doctors say I have a bi-polar disorder. It was my first time of hearing about it”.
This is the second time Ada is publicly criticizing the Ghana Police Service over the manner her so-called rape saga was handled.
Ada, in a recent interview with Kojo Preko Dankwa, host of Kasapa Entertainment on Kasapa 102.5 FM Saturday, said the police investigators did not have enough evidence to prosecute her in what they (Police) termed was a staged drama.
“Up until now, one year on, I think it wasn’t my duty to tell what exactly happened, truth is bad and it’s the police’s duty to investigate because my story doesn’t necessarily mean it is the truth, so am expecting the police to come out again but this time not somebody’s say but a real proof into the incidence.”
When asked by Kojo Preko Dankwa if she thinks the police’s initial investigations were lies, Ada replied in the affirmative and added “in one word they (Police) goofed, I don’t want to pick up wherever they started from.”
“I’m not sad because it happened to me, but I’m sad because many people go through real life stories like mine and police will have to play like this. I’m so glad it wasn’t just me because during my time I also heard about Charles Antwi; BNI picked him because he said he wanted to kill the president and it was the public that had to beg because he sounded psychotic.”
Reacting to a quote from the police report Ada stated that “I never mentioned to anybody that am coming to shoot a movie, I didn’t speak nor say a word to the hotel manager, I didn’t have conversation with him and the same person who went to the police station to report that I (Ada) hired him was the same person who told the hotel manager that he is coming to shoot a movie.”
