Woman docked for allegedly threatening Seyi Tinubu, IGP

A woman, Olamide Thomas, who allegedly threatened Seyi Tinubu with a death threat on social media, was, on Friday, arraigned at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Olamide was arraigned by the office of the Inspector-General (I-G) of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, before Justice Emeka Nwite on a three-count charge.

She, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olamide was arrested on allegations bordering on harassing and threatening Seyi Tinubu, Egbetokun, and the Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a viral social media post.

In the charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/636/2024, dated and filed on Dec 18 by the police team of lawyers led by A.A. Egwu, Olamide was sued as the sole defendant.

Upon resumed hearing, Victor Okoye, who appeared for the police, informed the court that the matter was slated for arraignment and that he was ready to proceed.

After the counts were read to the defendant, she pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The defence lawyer, T. J. Aondo, SAN, sought to move an oral application on his client’s behalf, but the request was turned down.

Justice Nwite directed Aondo to file a formal bail application and adjourned the matter until Dec. 30 for the commencement of trial.

The judge, however, assured the defence counsel that as soon as a bail application is filed in the form of a motion on notice, the court would not hesitate to hear it.

He consequently ordered her to be remanded in Suleja Correctional Centre pending the hearing of her bail application.

NAN reports that in count one, Olamide was alleged to have, sometime in 2024, knowingly and intentionally transmitted communication in the form of video recording through a computer system or network on her social media platforms wherein she made remarks in Yoruba language.

In the video, she was alleged to have stated “that Mr Seyi Tinubu would die this year, and misfortune and calamity had befallen the Tinubu family, with intent to bully, threaten, and harass the person of Mr Seyi Tinubu.”

The communication was said to have placed Seyi in fear of death, violence, or bodily harm.

The offence is contrary to and punishable under Section 24 (2) (a) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.

In count two, the defendant was alleged to have intentionally transmitted communication in the form of a video recording wherein she made remarks in Yoruba language to bully, threaten, and harass the person of Mr Egbetokun.

The communication was said to have placed Egbetokun in fear of death, violence, or bodily harm.

The offence is contrary to and punishable under Section 24 (2) (a) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.

In count three, Olamide was accused of intentionally transmitting or causing the transmission of communication in the form of video recording wherein she made remarks in Yoruba language, stating that the children of Adejobi would all die before his eyes.

She was quoted to have also said that “he (Adejobi) will bury all his children in a single day, with intent to bully, threaten, and harass the person of Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi.”

The communication was said to have placed Adejobi in fear of death of his loved ones.

The offence is said to be contrary to and punishable under Section 24 (2) (a) of Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024. (NAN)

This law needs to be strengthened with sufficient deterrent.

People who criminally defame should be treated like murderers. As a matter of fact, in the Bible, slander is ranked with murder!

Giving the seriousness of the crime, I agree with those who believe that the law should give a minimum of life imprisonment to anyone convicted of criminal defamation. This is the most practical way to stop the menacing prevalence of this crime especially online.

EVEN GOD EXTREMELY HATES CRIMINAL DEFAMERS!

Anything God hates, I hate too!

Olamide don sing am before say "Freedom of speech dey, I no go dull you, but freedom after speech, i cant assure you"


Make her twitter followers wey dey hail her go represent her for court

Why would you even threaten anyone at all, Seyi Tinubu or not

This is family matters…

Yoruba Threatens to Kill Yoruba

Who am I to judge?

It is unfortunate for this lady as all the people in charge of her case are sad yeast people, they will asslick Seyi Tinubu at the detriment of the lady.

Next time, you should present your arguments on social media without courses or wishing anyone/family death.

This is serious

These days you talk you get docked

It's a pity that she will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Hopeful she can get good representation.

The internet does not forget. Let's calm those emotions.

She's even raising her left fist.

So threatening someone's life via twitter makes you a freedom fighter

You will learn a hard lesson.

E no that one.

I know that the London and Washington can't see these atrocities when the military take over they will start shouting. God bless Putin, if we are going to have democracy without speech we might as well adopt military rule. A woman without gun is in jail for ordinary speech while the men who kill Deborah are walking freely in town.
I hope smart military officers are collecting all these act to present to UN since they are blind to it. You can see why we are struggling with Boko haram our officers are so we it's taking 15years to deal with ordinary terrorist. I want to write a book the last general. Since Obasanjo left our military has become boys scout they only powerful dealing with armless citizens.

Spend the next 8days in jail if no bail!

It pays to keep mute sometimes!

The person wey go sue us win us make we no abuse am!

Gbegirian threatening fellow gbegirians.

Ok

Wahalur


9ja de slowly turn to North Korea

Go and threaten someone with death in USA and see what happens to you.

I don’t know why we want a lawless country. Why are you threatening people with death if you’re not a devilish criminal.

Put this same effort in speaking against corruption and see Nigeria automatically align itself in the path of sanity and progress

I have no pity for anarchists who want to use their mouth to force terror and chaos on individuals and Nigeria as a whole.

Imagine that this fool even provided video evidence that will certainly nail her?

I still don't get why Nigerians don't understand how to be civilized, even if you hate someone?

Okay nah

Nigerians are a very hopeless set of hypocrites.

Many claiming things are better done in the saner clime, and that they want a new Nigeria are just terrible liars.

Their opinions to incidents like these, reveal how depraved many are and their inability to live in a sane society where there is rule of law, where right and obligation go hand in hand.

She should have been wiser than that nau

Put this effort into your own life first and you will see how your life can change and how you can use your little light to light other candles.

Most of you are from horrible family backgrounds where you see your parents and elders cheat and destroy innocent people so you don't see anything wrong when people destroy others. In fact, people like you fight people who insist that people who destroy others should be punished, regardless of their status.

Anything God hates, I hate too!

Goan drink your medicines and stop barking like a rabid dog. Life imprisonment for slander? You think Nigeria is your primitive "Oyo empire"? When Abacha was lumping all your uncles together in jail for all sorts of accusations, you all were loud protesting. Now we have to go back to the same discredited Abacha laws just because defending tinubu has become a task that must be achieved. Crazy things.

If you like dey think say na play
Defamation is more than a civil offence it is criminal............
Only criminals blatantly do to others what they wouldn't want done to them.
Don't post or say what you can't defend especially on social media
Be very very careful...........
E go do you like filmtrick when Dem pick you up, irrespective of where you are living or hiding

This girl has landed herself in trouble.

Very bad. How can you threaten an igp, fpro, and even the president son?
Unbecoming of an omoluabi

I am convinced that Nigerians enjoy the decadent Nigeria they claim they want to change.

Any attempt to enforce sanity is always resisted by the same people who posit that there is a saner clime.
