Court remands woman over alleged cyber bullying, threat to kill businessman

A Lagos magistrate’s court sitting in Ebute-Metta has remanded Folashade Olalude at the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Kirikiri, for alleged conspiracy, cyber bullying and threat to kill a businessman.

Chief Magistrate O. A Fowowe-Erusiafe ordered Olalude’s remand after arraignment, pending the formalisation of her bail conditions. Olalude was arraigned by police officers from Force Criminal Investigation Department (ForceCID) Annex, Alagbon-Ikoyi, Lagos.

The prosecutor, Henry Obiazi, during the arraignment, told the court that the defendant and others now at large, between 2015 to 2022, conspired among themselves to commit the alleged offences.

The prosecutor told the court that Olalude, with intent to steal, demanded over N5 million via the internet, at different occasions, from one Lawal Abdullateef, with a threat to blackmail and defame him and his wife, Lizzy Anjorin, if he failed to pay.
