Okoye Blessing Nwakego, also known as Ego, a popular Tiktoker who was arrested for defaming Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus, has been sentenced to two years in prison.
The Tiktoker was arraigned in court today, August 2nd, and was sentenced to two years in prison by a Federal High Court in Lagos.
Blessing Nwakego was charged in court with two counts of cyberstalking. It was claimed that she and one Chimabia, who is still at large, “connived to commit felony to wit: cyberstalking and thus committed an offense punishable under section 27 of the cybercrimes (prohibition, prevention, etc) act 2015” between December 2022 and July 2023 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of the honorable court.
Following her court arrangement, she was convicted on the counts against her and sentenced to one year in prison with the possibility of a N50,000 fine on count one.
On count two, she was sentenced to two years in prison with a N100,000 fine. The successive terms must be consecutive, whereas the incarceration terms must be concurrent.
Not unexpectedly, Ego chose the latter, citing online reports that she had agreed to pay the N150k punishment in order to be released.
“Eniola Badmus is a professional pimp, she connects girls to chairmen” – Lady makes serious accusation
A Nigerian woman has claimed that popular Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus is a professional pimp, revealing how the actress allegedly connects girls to big men.
The unidentified woman made the serious accusation on her social media page.
She claimed that the actress approached her friend, who is engaged to a man, in December of last year and told her that she has a chairman for her, right after taking her phone number.
She also claimed that, prior to allegedly becoming a pimp, Eniola Badmus used to dally with various politicians in an attempt to gain political relevance, but she became bored with it.
The woman claimed that because she had grown old and was no longer attractive to her clients, they hired her to connect them with young and attractive ladies.
