Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has shed light on detaining a blogger over allegations of defamation and cyberbullying.
On her Instagram page, she revealed that she arrested a blogger known as Adabasioni for criminal defamation and cyberbullying. She claimed the blogger went online to make derogatory and unfounded claims against her following her appearance at the burial of Odunlade Adekola’s father.
She explained that she told him to provide evidence of what he said about her, and he had none, so she ensured he was detained in Ikoyi prison for two weeks. She recalled how his mum and three wives rolled on the floor and begged her passionately to forgive and let go, which is why he only spent two weeks.
The Yoruba actress made it known that she is now ready to go to the full extent of the law with anybody. She said her mental health is seriously affected because she is extremely traumatised.
“Hello everyone, after deep consultations with my media and legal team, it became important for me to publicly address this once and for all.
I can confirm the arrest and prosecution of Adabasioni Oluwafemi Aseoro, a blogger, for criminal defamation and cyberbullying under the Nigerian Cyber Crime Act. This blogger went online to make derogatory and unfounded claims against my person, following my appearance at the burial of our Late father, PA N. A Adekola, the father of my BOSS, Ambassador Odunlade Adekola.
Over the past few years, I’ve been a target for cheap bloggers and social media trolls. I endured bants even when I labour hard to put my work out there, but God has always shown up to elevate me above these enemies of progress who use social media as a tool against me.
Adabasioni took videos of me, which were made by another party blogger with malicious intentions. Adabasioni manipulated the video to suit his narrative and posted it online to achieve his trolling goal, I became a subject of ridicule, no one questioned the highly-manipulated video, I chose to respond for once by taking legal actions, the said blogger was arrested to produce his evidences as claimed in the video, he had none and I ensured he was detained in prison for two good weeks at the Ikoyi prison, He assassinated my character, he paid for it in full!
His family and friends, who hadn’t cautioned him when he made the video, joined him in begging me when I responded legally. Of course, Eniola is a gentlewoman. I have forgiven him after he apologised and retracted the report of calumny he posted. I pitied his mother, but this is the way going forward.You want to drive traffic to your page with defamatory stories, you will pay dearly for your foolishness”.
