Singer Lil Smart arrested for ‘criminal defamation, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and falsehood’ against Naira Marley

In December 2024, Lil Smart took to social media to allege that his former boss, NairaMarley and Zinoleesky had attempted to kidnap him. He stated that Naira Marley should be held responsible if anything happened to him.

Upon his arrest and questioning, the police in a statement released on Thursday, February 6, said Lil Smart admitted in writing that the allegations were false and without evidence.

The police wrote, “ARREST OF SUSPECT FOR CRIMINAL DEFAMATION & CYBERSTALKING.

Following a petition filed by a law firm, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime arrested one Idowu Smart Emmanuel, a native of Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, for criminal defamation, cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and falsehood against Abdulazeez Adeshina Fashola (A.K.A Naira Marley).

Investigations revealed that the suspect, using his Instagram handle @lilsmart_, falsely alleged that he was abducted, assaulted, and robbed of $300, further claiming that Naira Marley had bribed all police officers in Lagos and was involved in credit card fraud.

The suspect later admitted in writing that these allegations were false and without evidence to prove his claim.

On January 28, 2025, he was apprehended at his residence in Megamound Estate, Ajah, Lagos, and the exhibits involved in this crime were recovered.
