TikTok User Nwakaego Okoye, who was paid to defame a Nollywood actress, has been sentenced to jail
A Federal High Court in Lagos State has convicted and sentenced Nwakaego Okoye, a TikTok user, for defaming Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus.
Nwakaego Okoye was convicted on Wednesday, April 3, after pleading guilty to the accusation against her.
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.
