Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has confirmed the arrest and prosecution of a blogger who shared a video of her from the burial ceremony of actor Odunlade Adekola’s father. The video, which showed Ajao hiding and acting unusually after greeting Odunlade’s wife, sparked widespread criticism and speculation about her relationship with the actor in August.

Ajao had previously denied the allegations, describing them as an attempt to damage her reputation. However, the blogger, Adabasioni Oluwafemi Aseoro, faced charges under the Nigerian Cyber Crime Acts for criminal defamation and cyberbullying. According to Ajao, Adabasioni manipulated the video to create a false narrative online, which led to her being ridiculed.

The actress stated that Adabasioni was detained for two weeks at Ikoyi Prison for his actions. She also shared a video of Adabasioni apologizing to her and asking other bloggers to remove the video. Ajao’s decision to take legal action against Adabasioni marks a significant step in her efforts to clear her name and protect her reputation.

The incident highlights the importance of verifying information online and the potential consequences of spreading false or manipulated content. It also underscores the need for bloggers and social media users to be aware of the laws and regulations governing online activities in Nigeria.

In recent years, Nigeria has taken steps to regulate online activities and combat cybercrime. The Nigerian Cyber Crime Acts, which Adabasioni was charged under, provide a framework for prosecuting individuals who engage in online harassment, defamation, and other forms of cybercrime.

The case against Adabasioni serves as a reminder of the need for responsible online behavior and the importance of respecting individuals’ rights and reputations. As the online landscape continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see more cases like this, highlighting the need for greater awareness and understanding of online laws and regulations.
