He admitted that he was in Nkoranza for a performance but said that the performance but said that the performance went well and he left Nkoranza the day after. The first time he heard the rape allegation, he said, was the next day when he was informed by his colleagues that some people were accusing him of having slept with a girl so they (his colleagues) had given them money to cool them down in the name of peace.

Okalla said he was not happy about the gesture of his colleagues and told them that he should have been contacted first before giving out any money since he was innocent. Okalla said that he is surprised at the turn out of events after almost three months. “God knows I am innocent,” he added.
