Four persons face prosecution for harassing Tiwa Savage.
Four people were charged before a magistrates’ court in Yaba, Lagos, on Tuesday for allegedly threatening the life of renowned diva Tiwa Savage.
Eniola Adeniyi, Donatus Osabanumonu, Idorenyi Okon, and Michael Rodolphe, the defendants, are also accused of attempting to defraud the ‘Somebody Son‘ singer.
They were brought before Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun by the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Annex, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos, on three counts of conspiracy, intent to defraud, and threat to life.
The defendants committed the crime on or before April 13, 2023, according to the prosecutor, Idowu Oshubure.
According to Oshubure, the offences violated and are punishable under Sections 411 and 388 of the Lagos State Criminal Law, as well as Section 14(3) of the Cyber Crime Prohibition Prevention Act, 2015.
“That you, Eniola Adeniyi, Donatus Osabanumonu, Idorenyi Okon, Michael Rodolphe, and others at large on or before April 13, 2023, in Lagos State, within the jurisdiction of Lagos, in this honourable court, with intent to commit the offence, fraudulently conspired among yourselves to conduct yourselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace, to the annoyance of one Tiwa Savage and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 411 Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
“That you, on the aforementioned date within the same court jurisdiction, with intent to defraud, did fraudulently sent messages to one Tiwa Savage through phone no 09061665942 which caused her reasonable apprehension of threat to her life, and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 14(3) of the Cyber Crime Prohibition Prevention Act, 2015”, the charge reads in part.
The four defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them and the counsel prayed the court to grant them bail.
After perusing the case file and seeking the consent of the prosecutor who did not object to bail, Magistrate Olatunbosun granted them bail in the sum of N300,000 with one responsible surety each in like sum.
