Georgina Onuoha criticizes her colleague Eniola Badmus for ‘intimidating’ Tiktoker who defamed her
Renowned Nigerian actress, Georgina Onuoha has weighed in concerning how her colleague, Eniola Badmus took the case of a lady who supposedly defamed her.
According to Georgina, Eniola had kidnapped and intimidated the young lady for her actions towards her (Eniola Badmus).
This is coming after Ego, the Tiktoker took to the platform and accused the actress, Eniola Badmus of being a professional pimp who connects young ladies to politicians.
According to the Netizen. the actress had attempted to set up one of her friends with a politician at some point.
In reaction to the accusations, Eniola updated her fans and followers on Monday that she had arrested Ego over the defamatory video.
Following this disclosure, Georgina Onuoha, in a post on her Instagram page criticized the arrest.
According to her, it amounted to an abuse of power and intimidation on Eniola’s part.
She urged Eniola to use the law diligently instead of oppressing people because of her fame and proximity to power.
Georgina, on her understanding of the law, stated that defamation is not a criminal offence 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.
