UK-based Blogger Reacts to Nigeria Police Wanted Declaration
UK-based blogger, Dorcas Adeyinka, has responded to being declared wanted by the Nigeria Police Force in connection with cyber-stalking, abduction, and murder allegations.
The Police poster alleged that she is wanted for cyber-stalking, abduction, murder, injurious falsehood, threat to life, and extortion.
Adeyinka, known for her TMS Blog and philanthropic work, hails from Ekiti state and obtained a Law degree from the University of East London.
Her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, criticized the Police’s declaration, citing ongoing court proceedings.
The Chief Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 6 summoned two individuals for criminal defamation against Adeyinka.
The defendants, Tolulope Adeoye and Tolulope Odegbami, were accused of sharing Adeyinka’s private images online.
The allegations made by the defendants include linking Adeyinka to the death of Folusho Asimiyu, also known as Iya Ibeji.
The complainant, represented by Olajengbesi of the Law Corridor, claimed the defendants’ actions constitute criminal defamation.
