“Hence, I seek to debunk and refute every and all misleading comments, myths, and claims of rape and child attachment in relation to allegations made by Ms. Almaz Jalloh,” Oniyama said in his statement. In a statement released over the weekend in Monrovia, Dr. Oniyama said the smear campaign is intended to blackmail him and injure his good name and business reputation thereby bringing him into public ridicule and disgrace. Dr. Oniyama encouraged Ms. Jalloh to take her grievances against him to court rather than engaging in a smear campaign on social media to seek public sympathy. I was outraged and went to Dr. Oniyama and asked what had he done to me? While the DNA remains an issue the most cardinal issue is the rape and humiliation Oniyama put me through.”
