Update: Sayria Spa Breaks Silence Over Assault Allegation, Suspends Staff Pending Investigation

 

Sayria Spa, owned by BBNaija star Khloe Abiri, has issued a formal statement addressing the sexual misconduct allegation made by content creator Angelica Kelechi. The incident, which allegedly occurred on May 21, 2025, has generated intense reactions online following a viral post by Angelica and the circulation of a controversial voice note purportedly from Khloe.

According to Sayria Spa’s official account, the client had booked a surprise spa session for her sister and specifically requested the services of a male therapist. The massage, reportedly conducted with both women in the same room, was described by the management as strictly professional throughout the session.

No signs of distress or discomfort were reportedly observed or communicated to the spa team during or after the treatment. The spa claims both women expressed satisfaction with their experience and showed appreciation by tipping the staff a total of ₦25,000. They also remained on the premises for some time before leaving.

Later that evening, the situation took a sharp turn. The client reportedly returned to the spa accompanied by a group of individuals and law enforcement officers. This led to the male therapist being taken in for questioning following an allegation of inappropriate conduct during the massage.

Despite the gravity of the allegation, Sayria Spa revealed that the client formally withdrew her complaint the following day. A signed letter, according to the spa’s statement, was submitted to this effect, indicating a change in the client’s stance on the matter.

While the complaint may have been retracted, the spa’s management emphasized their commitment to due diligence and transparency. The accused therapist has been suspended while an internal investigation is ongoing. The organization says it remains dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and ensuring the safety and trust of its clientele.

“We want to reiterate that Sayria Spa has zero tolerance in protecting our clients and community. We remain fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, client care, and safety,” the statement read.

Efforts to reach out to Angelica have reportedly been made by Khloe and her team. The spa noted that the client’s concerns are being taken seriously, and they aim to ensure proper handling of the matter in accordance with both legal and ethical standards.

The controversy gained additional traction after the emergence of a voice note allegedly featuring Khloe’s voice. In the recording, a statement interpreted by many as dismissive—“These things happen at a massage”—sparked public outrage. Online users criticized the tone and apparent minimization of a serious allegation, prompting calls for greater accountability from public figures and business owners.

As discussions unfold across social media platforms, public opinion remains divided. Some users have demanded a more robust and transparent approach to client protection from establishments like Sayria Spa. Others have questioned the circumstances of the complaint's withdrawal and called for a thorough, impartial investigation to ensure justice is served regardless of celebrity affiliations.

Despite the backlash, the spa has expressed gratitude to clients and supporters who continue to stand by the brand. The management closed its statement by reaffirming their dedication to providing a respectful and secure environment for all guests.

The incident continues to dominate conversations online as observers await further updates. Whether the internal probe will shed more light on the incident and help restore trust remains to be seen.
