Actress, Georgina Onuoha slams Eniola Badmus for ‘intimidating’ Tiktoker who defamed her

Nollywood actress, Georgina Onuoha, has accused her colleague Eniola Badmus of kidnapping and intimidating a young Nigerian lady who defamed her.

Recall that the lady, a TikToker identified as Ego, made a viral video where she alleged that Eniola Badmus is a professional pimp who connects young ladies to politicians.

Ego further alleged that the actress had attempted to set up one of her friends with a politician at some point.

Subsequently, Eniola revealed in a social media update on Monday that she had effected the arrest of Ego over the defamatory video.

Following this disclosure, Georgina Onuoha took to her Instagram page to criticize the arrest, noting that it amounted to an abuse of power and intimidation on Eniola’s part.

She urged Eniola to use the law diligently and not oppressively because of her fame and proximity to power.

According to her, defamation is not a criminal offense that warrants an arrest.

“In any functioning society, if someone defames you, it is within your rights to seek damages done to your reputation. What she did was wrong and defamatory. Eniola @eniola_badmus your next line of action will be to sue her for defamation and seek restitution.

Arresting her means you are equally breaking the law. Slander or defamation is not a criminal offense that warrants arrest and parading this young woman like a criminal. Yes she defamed you, sue her for damages. This is abuse of power and intimidation on your part. Use the law diligently and not oppressively because of your proximity to power and fame.

Shame on the police officers indulging in this nonsense. @eniola_badmus. You are within your rights to sue her for defamation and damages done to your person and name. Arresting means you are equally abusing the law. Right of speech is her right as well as yours. If she threatened your person and wished you bodily harm, then you are within your legal rights to get her arrested for your safety.

This power play or show is laughable and beneath you. Let it go now and take her to court. Stop parading her like a criminal. @benjaminhundeyin your men should not be engaging in such ineptitude. If she is sued and refuses to show up to court, then the judge could order her arrest for contempt of court and law. This is abuse of power and the police should not be used as a weapon of intimidation.

We are in a democracy and the rule of law must prevail over personal grievances. This is tantamount to kidnapping by @eniola_badmus and members of the police force. He who seeks equity must come with clean hands.
Meaning that a party seeking equitable relief must be willing to fulfil their own obligations and act equitably themselves.” She wrote.
