Two Social Media Users Summoned For Leaking Socialite’s Nude Photo
Two social media users have been summoned by the Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone 6, for the “criminal defamation” of socialite Dorcas Adeyinka.
Chief Magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna has directed the two defendants, Tolulope Adeoye, also known as Abike Jagaban, and Tolulope Odegbami, also known as Olowosibi, to appear in person before the court on June 4, 2024, to respond to the charges brought against them by the complainant. This directive is contained in the court summons dated May 9, 2024, which our correspondent was able to view.

“On the 5th of March 2022, Abike Jagaban shared the complainant’s nude pictures on Youtube, directing her followers to different online platfoms where the complainant’s pictures were/are shared and ridiculed the complainant in the process.
“The video is captioned: ‘Abike Jagaban on Dorcas Adeyinka, aka TMS Blog’.
Because of these activities, the complaint has been subjected to disdain, hostility, and detestation, as some individuals have been observed mocking the complainant in the post’s comment section.
In a different video titled “How Abike Jagaban Bully Dorcas Adeyinka,” Abike Jagaban is shown bullying the complainant as well.
Additionally, the defendants have posted articles on social media claiming that the complainant is to blame for the passing of Folusho Asimiyu, popularly known as “Iya Ibeji,” a person the complainant had previously provided financial support for through her non-governmental organization.
A portion of the lawsuit stated, “These accusations have been made without any proof or connection linking the complainant to Folunsho Asimiyu’s demise.”
According to the complainant, the defendants’ purported acts violated Section 391 of the Penal Code and amounted to criminal defamation.
Magistrate Iyanna directed the complainant in Suit No. CR/93/2024 with Motion No. MN/140/2024 to use their social media handles or pages, @Tolulope Omolara Ghaba (Favebook) and @Princess Tolulope Ajike Olowosibi (Facebook), to serve the defendants with the criminal summons and all other subsequent processes of the court.
He ruled that the two defendants must appear in court on June 4, 2024, the day he had postponed the case.
