Liverpool FC midfielder Naby Keita has found himself in a latest disarray on social media. The Guinean international footballer has been accused of sexual misconduct by a woman on Twitter. The lady has made several posts narrating the incident, but unfortunately, most of the responses isn’t in her favour.
Pontso Dlamini, who is from Manchester, United Kingdom, runs a website called Popcorn’s Kitchen, delivering cooking essentials to the local public under the COVID-19 lock down. On 23rd June, Ponsto made several posts on Twitter, narrating an incident from the month of January, when she was sexually assaulted by Keita. Along with describing the complete incident, she also claimed to have gathered all the evidences, which include messages and recordings. She also added that reports were made to Greater Manchester Police and Merseyside Police.
On the 18th January 2020 I was sexually assaulted by @LFC player #nabykeita.Reported it to @gmpolice and @MerseyPolice.With all evidence/recordings &calls where his people requested to meet to apologise, I was told that it was his word against mine.Fuck the system it failed me.

In a follow up tweet, Dlamini claimed that the incident took plae after she was invited to Keita’s party by a female friend. She also added that Keita didn’t book a cab for her after everyone had left, and ‘started touching’ Dlamini, and even offered her cash after she resisted.
My girl invited me to Naby’s party in Formby, at the end of the night Naby said he called a taxi for me.He lied,It never came!Everyone left,I was left alone, he started touching me.I repeatedly said NO.That’s when he offered me money.I refused it! #womenslivesmatter @MENnewsdesk

Dlamini added more information about her text messages with her mother, phone calls with someone named Bayo who claimed to be Keita’s agent, and also the evidence she submitted to the police.
Asked #nabykeita to use the toilet and messaged my mom,I called her and she insisted I stay on the phone with her till taxi comes. He became angry when he noticed I’m in the phone and told me to wait outside #justiceforwomen. These are the screenshots my mom took from her phone. pic.twitter.com/nDsD5MELKG

Leo, Nabys agent and Bayo the friend kept calling my number to try to talk to me alone and my mom told them to call her instead. She went in to talk to them and recorded the whole convo on her phone. All this was later submitted to @gmpolice & @MerseyPolice pic.twitter.com/sbjpYMVumP

Dlamini’s post soon gathered attention, and already has over 3.7k retweets. Unfortunately, the responses she have been getting for the most part is in a bad taste. Most netizens didn’t believe Dlamini’s claims. some stated that she is just seeking attention and the whole narrative doesn’t add up, expressed doubt on Keita ever doing such behaviour, and even accused her of lying.
Reading this thread carefully let me disprove it. She texted her "mum" who didnt give 2 shits her daughter had been "assaulted" and the convo swiftly moved on. You arent allowed to take photos of police evidence bags, therefore this is also fake and furthermore if this was the

5: He’s a very religious person and sexual assault would be going against his faith
6: She said the police failed her because they didn’t look into it, I’m 99% sure if you go to the police and say you were sexually assaulted they would start an investigation

However, there were a number of people who defended Dlamini’s claims, and asked for a proper investigation into the matter. There haven’t been any response from Keita or Liverpool as of now.
