Nigerian activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has criticized the swift conviction of a female Tiktoker who was handed a three-year jail term for cyberstalking Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus.
Sowore posted this via his verified Twitter account on Wednesday evening, 2nd August 2023.
He expressed surprise at the development and questioned how the judge could rule on a TikToker in days when cases filed in court since 2007 are still pending.

Sowore said, ”So judges treating cases in Lagos that haven’t been able to finish corruption cases of politically exposed persons since 2007 could easily jail a “tiktoker” in a few days? Jokers!!! An MC Oluomo that cyberstalked an entire ethnic group hasn’t even been arrested or investigated. TikTok user jailed three years for cyberstalking Eniola Badmus.”
Recall that a TikToker named Nwakaego Okoye was sentenced to three years imprisonment for cyberstalking Eniola Badmus.
Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos gave the ruling on Wednesday.

The judge convicted Nwakaego after she pleaded guilty to a two-count cyberstalking charge.

In a consideration that followed the convict’s remorse, Justice Oweibo gave her the option of paying a fine of N150,000 instead of jail time.
