Music star Paul Okoye has denied reports claiming that a woman who once accused him of serious sexual misconduct and crimes involving young people has been sentenced to six years in prison. Okoye made the clarification in a public statement to set the record straight.

He said the reports circulating online were false and misleading, stressing that no such conviction has been issued by any court. Okoye also repeated that he has always maintained his innocence regarding the accusations made against him.

The singer’s response came after several social media posts and blogs claimed the woman had been convicted and jailed, a claim Okoye said was “untrue and irresponsible.” He urged members of the public not to spread unverified information.

Okoye thanked his supporters for standing by him and asked that they allow the legal process to play out through the proper courts. He emphasised that only official court records should be relied upon for updates about the case.

Legal experts say that misleading reports about ongoing matters can harm all parties involved and that only official statements from law enforcement and the judiciary should be trusted. They encouraged the public to be cautious about information shared online.

At the time of filing this report, there has been no official announcement from any court confirming a sentence in the matter. Okoye’s team said they would continue to address misinformation as it appears.
