A Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced a female TikToker, Okoye Blessing Nwakaego, to three years imprisonment for cyberstalking Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus.
Reacting to the development, Badmus addressed the issue via an Instagram post where she shared a photo of herself at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi with the caption: “I will like to address an issue that has been plaguing social media platforms and online communities: defamatory statements about me.
“How do you wake up, go on social media and pull people down by making false/negative comments about them and still expect Mercy from God? This is someone you do not even know! Common!
“You have no single fact/evidence but will sit behind your phones and make a smooth video defaming my personality. Why?
“When I was plus size, it was the height of body shaming, now on my fitness journey, same negative comments, when I made my political choice, the same negatives. Guys, let people live their lives and respect them for it. Some of us have muscle to keep it going, how about those that can’t and silently struggle with depression and low self-esteem?
“We celebrities are human, we have blood running through our veins like you. No one judges your choice or approach to life in your corner, so why judge on personal and human actions?”
