Nwakaego Okoye was convicted on Wednesday, April 3, after she
pleaded guilty to the charge brought against her. She confessed to have
defamed actress Eníola Badmus because a friend, Fortune Ibe, promised to
pay her N200,000 to do so. However, for being remorseful, Justice
Oweibo gave her the option to pay the fine of N150,000 in lieu of jail
time, saying that her action contravened Sections 24(1)(b)(2)(a)(c) and
27 of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015. It was learnt that Nwakaego and one
Chimabia who is now at large were jointly charged for the offence.
