Benson has also acted in over 30 movies and worked with producers both home and abroad…should we say he has paid his dues?
Anyways,Benson recently poured out his heart exclusively to this blog recounting how he was molested by a 35year old neighbour when he was just ten years old.
The incident he says haunts him and talking about it might get it off his mind
He says'' things may not be glamorous as they seem and he has gone through a lot in the past and that is what made him the Benson Okonkwo many love and respect today in the industry. He says he was sexually abused at the tender age of 10 by his 35 year old neighbour named ms Amaka who is presently in the diaspora.he says Amaka was A lady whom he loved and respected as a ten year old but She took advantage of him on that fateful afternoon after luring him with sweets and biscuits!
She Stole his innocence and ever since he has been haunted by that painful,un-erase-able memory and that is why he puts passion into his acting job because its takes away his pain''
Benson says the incident did not make him hate women but rather made him weary of women,he affirms he loves ladies and is grateful to his teeming fans who are mostly ladies and thanks them for their support and belief in his talent.
Do you think he is using this story to cover up his homosexuality?
