The police spokesperson for Lagos State, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has announced that a blogger named Stanley is set to face prosecution for allegedly smearing the reputation of businessman Mr. Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, through an online video.
Hundeyin made this declaration on Monday during a press briefing held at the command’s headquarters in Ikeja.
The spokesperson mentioned that following a complaint lodged by E-Money regarding the disparaging video, an investigative team from the command promptly took action, leading to the arrest of the 24-year-old suspect in Uromi, Edo State.
“He is going to be prosecuted because the things he engaged in were criminal in nature. He has allegedly defamed E-Money and he is going to be prosecuted.
“We are not prosecuting the suspect because of the personality involved, but because he has allegedly committed crime, the personality goes through the normal channel by reporting the case to the police and we investigated and arrested the suspect.
“If one is defamed and you only talk about it on social media, you have not reported the case yet to the Police, it doesn’t work that way. The best thing to do is report at any police division, area command or police headquarters, we will take it up”.
