While some Twitter users identified with Solomon, other were of the opinion that his story wasn’t adding up on the basis that he was stuttering and playing the victim, others, however, stressed that the interview was scripted to make Solomon appear innocent.

This trend also opened the conversation on the authenticity of the accusers’ story as some Twitter users pointed out that some of Solomon’s accusers are not being truthful about their claims, even as they shared photos supporting their claims.

You haven't sued Solomon for allegedly assaulting you, it's an anonymous page you're coming for.
If your claim is true, sue him!
The fact that you haven't made any legal move shows that you are lying oga.

While rape is a serious crime, false accusation is an even more heinous act as it not only mentally take a toll on the accused but also goes on to affect their image. Solomon, however, in the interview, pointed out that he is also seeking legal advice even though he has forgiven his accusers.
