Viols of Paris
Koffi Olomide was put in review Monday, February 13, 2012 by an examining magistrate of Nanterre for rapes and sequestrations of three former dancers of his group. Koffindy, according to the four dancers, satisfied his libido when he saw fit, with practices worthy of a sadomasochist, in an apartment rented for them in the French capital. Apartment that girls should not leave on any pretext at the risk of being brutalized by the henchmen of the musician.
A dancer recounts her daily life during the French tours of Koffi Olomide: "As soon as the concert was over, we had to go home to Asnieres. We were guarded by three vigilantes. We were four in the same room, we were not allowed to go out without authorization. I could not call even my mother. We were paid 100 euros for a concert from midnight to six in the morning. We were forced to sleep with him: he called a vigil to bring a dancer to the Etape Hôtel. Then she describes the sexual brutality of one of the fathers of Congolese rumba also feared for his mystical practices: "he does magic, weird stuff, he blew us on the body". When it was not at the hotel, the "rapes" sometimes took place in the recording studio or in the toilets of a supermarket in Asnières, remembers another fourteen-year-old dancer at the time. facts. "He asked me to go shopping with him. (…) He asked me to drop the cart, go to the bathroom and I do not close the door. After, he came. (…) He told me that I turned and made his thing come back. (…) I was sick. He told me "do not scream" because there were people next door. Those who refused him were dismissed. These dancers also lived locked in the house in Kinshasa of the singer's mother. Beside this house-prison, there is a hotel where vigilantes brought dancers forced to satisfy the impulses of the star who waited for them, completely naked. The rapes were regular and brutal.
Antoine Christophe Agbepa Mumba (born July 13, 1956), known professionally as Koffi Olomide, can no longer trample the French soil where he would be immediately incarcerated.
