However, he added that “cybercrime is difficult to prove in court. You have to prove actual harm when the post was made. Erisco must prove that the Facebook post (by Okoli) affected its business as at the point it was made.” He noted that in Okoli’s post, she used a word with three asterisks, which could be open to interpretation.

“Harassment and intimidation of Chioma Okoli must end now,” Amnesty International Nigeria said earlier this month, as Nigerians began crowdfunding online to support her legal fees.

Okoli’s case has sparked protests at Erisco’s Lagos facility as many on social media called for a boycott of its products. The company’s founder, Eric Umeofia, refused to budge, however, saying in a recent documentary on the local Arise Television channel that he won’t drop the lawsuit against Okoli and that he would “rather die than allow someone to tarnish my image I worked 40 years to grow.

a lesson to you bigots
over here we don't tolerate shitt because it's my tribe or whatever.
if you fucck up you'll be treated squarely.
Igbos are unique.
nobody dey feed anybody because we dey work hard individually so you don't expect us to start bootlicking the rich among us in whatever they do right or wrong like some certain people.
If you be billionaire na for your pocket nobody cares.
that's the mentality of an average igbo man.
we don't entertain mediocre over here.
The man messed up real big just like an average Nigeria rich man that thinks he can intimidate people using his connections.
unfortunately you can't get away with some things in this digital age.
he's reaping his reward and no sorry for him.

Tjra:

They really hate themselves not just outsiders.

lol it's not hate but accountability irrespective of your status.
we no send any bagger over here because he no dey feed anybody.
he's a billionaire for his kinsmen and family.
so we won't hesitate to call him out if he messes up.
he's not even among top 10 billionaire in Igbo land so what's the fuse?
Talk about the tribe that loves themselves so much.
The same tribe that stood and watch a fellow man intimidate his fellow man to death because he's more richer and connected than him.
when the guy called the oppressor out, they blasted him protecting the oppressor because he's richer.
yes you know that I'm talking about Mohbad vs naira Marley and Sam Lary.
Same thing is playing out with kwam 1 and his poor drummer and as usual the tribe that loves themselves are worshipping the rich K1 blasting the poor guy without even trying to know the truth.
what a massive love
hiohiohiohio.
sorry hunny we don't do that over here.
you can't intimidate anyone here and expect us to back you because you have money.
no it's not done here because you no dey feed anyone unlike over there they normally share palliatives.

Hahahahahaha
hiohiohiohio
hahahahihihihi

Erisco took the whole matter too far, he really wants to crash his business. He should have known that his rivals could twist the whole matter against him.Power of PR sha
Fun fact is that majority of those reviewers don't even know most of erisco's products and they will still consume his product today today, erisco's products na must for your food.

Erisco foods messed up big time.

They had two options at the beginning of the saga and none involved the police.

1. Just keep quiet and allow her review go down quietly without saying anything or doing anything.

2. Reach out to her immediately. Offer to carry out an investigation. Invite her over for a facility or factory tour and even ask her to meet the CEO.
During the joking moments, let the CEO offer to give her some paste and ask if she can cook with it for everyone and let all management team eat the food together with her. She will gladly accept that offer.

Get some camera and capture the whole moment. Make sure it gets to the network news and let everyone watch the moment she does the cooking and the CEO as well as other management staff eating with her on a dinning table. Just a few carton of tomatoes paste as souvenir, an Uber money to take her home and watch her change her review sharp sharp.

Get a good PR team to spin the whole saga as a strong marketing tool.

Like I said, they messed up a good opportunity to scale up on marketing.

The best option is the first one. The second one is a no go area, do the second option and watch Nigerians messed up big companies in the name of review.

Make I buy one olot of land keep first, I will come back and develop it later, cos I need to read every of this reddit comments😁😁

You guys make NL boring with your childish pranks. Every damn thing is tribal to you. The FCCPC Chair who came out to defend Chioma and was replaced was not Yoruba? I believe many of you are jobless that's why your best job is to continue the divide.

I tire 4 dis post

Whom the gods want to kill, they first make mad. That's Eric's case.

This is stupid. Didn't she know she was pregnant before trying to destroy other people's source of income?
Why is she hiding under pregnancy? Is she the fist human to be pregnant

Redit and Redditor go finish this people.

Here is my take on this matter, Erisco got it wrong by using police to arrest the lady; Why because this is a civil matter not a criminal case.Erisco Coming out to justify their action of using law enforcement to arrest her is even more damaging than the act of arresting her, the statement of seeking law enforcement advise if it's a criminal matter or a Civil matter should be advised by their legal adviser not the law enforcement agency.

Looking forward
Two things could play out in court, the easy one will be to settle out of court. The easier one is to continue and wait for the court to pass a judgement; which if the judgement doesn't favor Erisco they go to a higher court.

I guess they(Erisco) have a deep pocket but dumb legal advisory team, any which way they will loose even when they win. The brand name is a gonna, they should go float another company with another name and image.

A Drop Of Honey Attracts More Flies Than a Gallon of Poison.

Pregnant or not. Woman should face the music. Law is the law.
If the video she made was that the tomato sauce was too sugary, that would have been better. But this woman said Erisco tomato sauce is killing people. That is way of slanderous. That shows a woman paid by competitors to demarket a product of a company that is employing hundreds of Nigerians. She should face the music. These influencers must have sense.

Playing the victim card as usual. The western world is too sympathetic to women, children girl child, pregnant women, gays, lesbians and transexuals. Now it is like the law is against you if you are none of these.

oladipuposadeeq:
it's not a matter of intimidation, do you have know what defamation is, she said his products killed people and posted it online, and she was told numerous times to take it down, I saw the post also and she told the lady that told her to to go tell her uncle that he shld stop producing products that kills people, do you know how weighty that accusation is, you don't say that to people. If it was your products, how would you feel, let's be sincere now she is crying to let the whole world know she was treated unfairly, did she think about her actions b4 she acted. Let's be truthful to ourselves please.

Don't mind the silly OP. Let her face the law. Reddit, CNN, Amnesty International are not above the law. Although I see her getting freed. But she should be taken to court.
