Nathaniel Bassey petitions IGP over alleged defamation

Bassey tasked the office of the IGP to investigate and prosecute for criminal defamation and cyberstalking.

The lawyers urged police authorities to urgently treat the petition against the four social media users, identified in the petition as Okoronkwo Ejike, Kingsley Ibeh, Terrence Ekot and Dj Spoiltkid. “However, our client was disheartened, saddened, and grossly disturbed to find that the above-mentioned suspects, as mischief makers with a criminal intent to destroy the image and character of our client, had made different social media posts of defamatory matter, calling our client ‘the father of minister Mercy Chinwo Blessed’s son,’ a woman who is married to another man.

The lawyers said the social media posts by the four individuals amounted to assassination of Bassey’s character. “The consequences of making such statements on social media have been known to tarnish the reputations of individuals, render marriages unstable, and many never recover from them. International reputation is an asset both for the individual and for the nation and it takes time to acquire.
