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.

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