Except 35-year-old blogger and social media writer , Ifeoma Nwafor, is able to meet bail conditions she will have to stay as an inmate of  Kirikiri Correctional Centre  until November 8, 2026.

The Case Against Her :


The police alleged that Nwafor and others, still at large sometime in June 2026, at Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos, conspired to commit a felony.

The prosecution alleged that the defendant acted with intent to cause “annoyance, injury, fear, intimidation, enmity and/or needless anxiety” to Okoya.

It further alleged that Nwafor participated in the publication of “offensive, false, malicious and calculated” materials on Instagram through the handles @cutie_juis and @truestorieswithifeomafa.

The police also alleged that pictures of Okoya and defamatory materials concerning her were published on the internet.

The prosecution also alleged that Nwafor, through the Instagram handle @truestorieswithifeomafans, published a statement that was “derogatory and calculated to invite mockery, ridicule, gossip, suspicion and scandal” against Okoya.
