In a new press release just released on Instagram, the BBNaija star is out to clear his name and respond to allegations of abuse and domestic violence from his ex-girlfriend.

Somadina Anyama, better known as Soma, who is a two-time contestant on BBNaija, has released a lengthy press statement explaining his side of the story.

The actor and singer took to his Instagram page on Monday, November 25, 2024 to publish the statement in which he refutes the allegations of abuse and labels them as false.

Soma disclosed that it has taken him this long to respond because he was focused on recovering from a life-threating situation that challenged his well-being.

I have been slow to respond because I was focused on recovering from a life-threatening situation that challenged my well-being. Unfortunately, while still processing that experience, I have been confronted with these allegations, which have taken a toll on me emotionally and mentally,” part of the statement reads.

“First and foremost, I want to clearly state the accusations being made against me are false. I have never drugged, assaulted, or harmed anyone, and I deeply condemn any form of abuse. These allegations are completely baseless and such actions are contrary to my values and the person I strive to be,” it continues.

The actor, who recently split from his co-star, Angel Smith, was recently accused by his ex-girlfriend, Hilda of drugging, beating and tying her up. Hilda posted on X that Soma did not cheat with her on Angel and then alleged that he drugged, beat and tied her up in April 2024.

She wrote, “I’ve been done with Somadina Anyama for the longest and seized communication since July but, he again reached out to me in August when he was being dragged on Twitter, accusing me of being “responsible or behind it.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Monday, April 14, presented Peter Obumuneme Okoye, as its first witness against Jude Chigozie Okoye, his elder brother and former Manager of Paul and Peter Okoye, aka PSquare, before Justice A. Owoeye of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.

At the resumption of the court proceedings on Monday, April 14, Peter while being led in evidence by the prosecution counsel, Aso Larry’s Peters, said

“The group, P-Square started sometime in 1997. But in 2017, it was disbanded. We stayed apart for about five years. But in November 2021, the group came back. Before Jude became our Manager, we had several managers, including Chioma Ugochi, who managed us when we were in the secondary school and in the University; and the late Bayo Odusami of Mbuntu music, who managed us for five years.

Thereafter, my twin brother and I managed the band for a couple of months before we decided that he (Jude) would manage us and Northside Entertainment Limited.

So, we continued running our business. But we were always having issues about how he was running the business. The issues were mainly about the fact that he was the sole signatory to all our bank accounts in Ecobank, Zenith and FCMB.

These issues lasted for a couple of months. I didn’t have access to the accounts until the current Minister of Aviation, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, who was our lawyer, said we needed a sharing formula.”

While giving further evidence, he recalled an incident when the brothers were building their houses in Ikoyi, saying

“The funding of the house project was by Northwest Entertainment Ltd. But they just stopped financing my house for six months. The accounts were owned by the company, while Jude was the only signatory to all the accounts. At some, I approached him and my twin brother, Paul, to know why they stopped financing my project. But what I heard from them was “As you leave P-square, u leave the money’.
