Tiktoker Ego sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for defaming Eniola Badmus

The Tiktoker was charged today, Wednesday, August 2, 2023 and a Federal High Court in Lagos sentenced her to two years in prison.

Blessing Nwakego was charged to court on two counts that appear to be related to cyberstalking.

It was alleged that she and one Chimabia now at large “between December 2022 to July 2023, in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of the honorable court, did connive to commit felony to wit: cyberstalking and thereby committed an offense punishable under section 27 of the cybercrimes (prohibition, prevention, etc) act 2015.

She was found guilty of the counts against her following the court’s decision, and count one resulted in a sentence of one year in prison with the possibility of a N50,000 fine.

She received a two-year prison term on count two, with the possibility of an additional N100,000 fine.

While the periods of imprisonment must run concurrently, the terms of the consecutive must be consecutive.

As expected, Ego went with the latter option after reading online that she had consented to pay the N150k fee in exchange for her freedom.
