A federal high court in Lagos has arraigned and sentenced TikToker, Okoye Blessing Nwakego, who was recently detained by the police for saying that actress Eniola Badmus is a pimp.
She needs to establish and prove the claim in court, according to Eniola Badmus, who was present when the TikToker was arrested.
Nwakego was brought up in court on two counts of suspected cyberstalking. According to the allegations, she and a man named Chimabia who is currently at large “did conspire to commit felony to wit: cyberstalking in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of the honorable court, between the month of December 2022 to the month of July 2023, and thereby committed an offense punishable under section 27 of the cybercrimes (prohibition, prevention, etc.) act 2015.”
Additionally, it was alleged that she and Chiamabia intentionally caused the transmission of a communication that was offensive and that may put the actress in danger or cause her to suffer an injury or suffer criminal intimidation.
