Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A woman identified as Olamide Thomas, who allegedly threatened Seyi Tinubu with death on social media, was on Friday, arraigned at a Federal High Court in Abuja.<\/p>\n

She was arraigned by the office of the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, before Justice Emeka Nwite on three-count charge.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST 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<\/p>\n

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 sole defendant.<\/p>\n

Upon resumed sitting, Victor Okoye, who appeared for the police, told the court that the matter was fixed for arraignment, adding that he was ready to proceed.<\/p>\n

After the counts were read to the defendant, she pleaded not guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n

The defence lawyer, T J. Aondo, SAN, sought to move an oral application on his client\u2019s behalf but the request was turned down.<\/p>\n

Justice Nwite directed Aondo to file a formal bail application and adjourned the matter until December 30 for commencement of trial.<\/p>\n

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

He consequently ordered her to be remanded in Suleja Correctional Centre pending the hearing of her bail application.<\/p>\n

In count one, Olamide was alleged to have, sometime in 2024, knowingly and intentionally transmitted communication in the form of video recording through computer system or network on her social media platforms wherein she made remarks in Yoruba Language.<\/p>\n

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, harass the person of Mr Seyi Tinubu.<\/p>\n

The communication was said to have placed Seyi in fear of death, violence or bodily harm.<\/p>\n

The offence is contrary to and punishable under Section 24 (2) (a) of Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.<\/p>\n

In count two, the defendant was alleged to have intentionally transmitted communication in the form of video recording wherein she made remarks in Yoruba Language to bully, threaten, harass the person of Mr Egbetokun.<\/p>\n

The communication was said to have placed Egbetokun in fear of death, violence or bodily harm.<\/p>\n

The offence is contrary to and punishable under Section 24 (2) (a) of Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

She was quoted to have also said that he (Adejobi) will bury all his children in a single day, with intent to bully, threaten, harass the person of Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi.<\/p>\n

The communication was said to have placed Adejobi in fear of death of his loved ones.<\/p>\n

The offence is said to be contrary to and punishable under Section 24 (2) (a) of Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.<\/p>\n
