A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on August 2nd, 2023 sentenced a lady identified as Okoye Blessing Nwakaego, to three years imprisonment for cyberstalking Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus through TikTok.
Justice Nicholas Oweibo convicted Nwakaego after she pleaded g¥ilty to a 2-count charge of cyberstalking. The judge, however, considered the convict’s remorse and gave her an option of paying a fine of N150,000 instead of jail time.
According to the charge, Nwakaego and one Chimabia (now at large) between Dec 2022 and July 2023 in Lagos conspired to commit the off£nce. The duo was also said to have knowingly caused the transmission of communication via numerous blogs and social media networks with her mobile number.
Her conduct according to the police, was “grossly offenssive, false and to cause annoyance, inconvenience, danger, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred and needless anxiety to the prejudice of Badmus.”
