British-Nigerian, Chris Obi, who featured in Netflix’s Star Trek: Discovery, is facing allegations of rapes and sex attacks on six students at his home in Notting Hill, London.

Obi, 48, was alleged by his accusers to have attacked the women while acting out love scenes during private lessons between July 2012 and August 2018.

Reports say the actor was taken into custody at Heathrow Airport when he returned to the UK from Los Angeles.

But he has denied the allegations and was released by police on bail.

Obi worked as artistic director at the Actor in Session drama school, but none of the alleged offences are believed to have taken place at the Kensington and Chelsea College.

A Met police spokesman said : ‘The allegations have been made by six female complainants and relate to separate incidents that allegedly took place at an address in the Notting Hill area.”

Obi played a Klingon in Netflix’s Star Trek: Discovery.

Christopher Obi Ogugua is an actor and filmmaker who trained at Drama Centre London and graduated in 2001.

He was born in London to an Igbo father on 24 September 1970.
