She admitted to defaming actress Eníola Badmus after a friend, Fortune Ibe, offered her N200,000 to do so.

However, because she was apologetic, Justice Oweibo allowed her to pay a fine of N150,000 instead of facing jail time, stating that her actions violated Sections 24(1)(b)(2)(a)(c) and 27 of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015.
