Court sentences tiktoker who bullied Eniola Badmus to 3 years in prison


On Wednesday, a Federal High Court in Lagos convicted Nwakaego Okoye, a Tiktoker, to three years in prison for harassing prominent Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus on social media.

Okoye admitted guilt to the accusations brought against her, and Justice Nicholas Oweibo found her guilty and gave her a sentence.

The judge also offered a N150, 000 fine as an alternative to the sentencing.

The police prosecutor Nosa Uhumwangho had earlier informed the court during the convict's arraignment that the convict and a person named Chimabia (who is currently at large) had plotted to commit the crime of cyberstalking.

He claimed that between December 2022 and July 2023, the tiktoker had bullied the victim online.

The prosecution claims that the offence violated Section 27 of the 2015 Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act.

The prosecutor, Uhumwangho, pleaded with the court to review the case's facts after the indictment was read and Okoye admitted guilt.

Then he pleaded with the jury to find the defendant guilty as charged and impose a fair sentence.

However, the convict's attorney begged the judge to temper justice with mercy, pointing out that the defendant was a first-time offender who did not waste the court's time.

Okoye was sentenced by Justice Oweibo to three years in prison on each of the two counts, or a fine of N150,000.

She should have minded her own business, perhaps she must have forgotten that Eniola and Tinubu are best of friends?
