The International Police Division of the Nigerian Police has received petition to move against online bullies, who continue to use the social media platform to spread false and malicious stories about popular Lagos monarch, Oba Saheed Elegushi of Ikate kingdom.
In a petition signed by the traditional ruler’s lawyers, M. A. Banire & Associates, a copy which was sighted, the king wants the police to move against one Abosede Comfort Ilesanmi a Nigerian based in Germany and Bukky Jesse who is resident in the United Kingdom, both of whom are using their tik tok accounts to embarrass the traditional ruler.
A part of the petition reads: “The said Mrs.Abosede Comfort Ilesanmi persistently asserts a false claim in her posts on various social media platforms that our Client fathered a child with one Mrs.Omowunmi Aloba,the wife of the late llerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as ‘Mohbad’. These claims are baseless, unwarranted and unsubstantiated by any evidence.
It further reads “It is pertinent to also state that despite our client’s various denials of this phantom allegation of paternity, Mrs.Abosede Comfort Itesanmi continues to mischievously assert these claims solely to besmirch our client’s good name and cause him great annoyance, inconvenience and intimidation from different quarters as a result of the false allegation of Mrs Abosede Comfort Ilesanmi.
Our findings revealed that another petition was submitted against the Manchester, United Kingdom based Bukky Jesse.
