The police have re-arraigned four bloggers – Precious Eze, Olawale Rotimi, Rowland Olonishuwa and Seun Odunlami – before the Federal High Court in Lagos for allegedly cyberstalking and publishing false allegations on social media against Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO).
The defendants were re-arraigned on Monday on 10 counts of conspiracy, cyberstalking, false and misleading publication, extortion, threats, and causing the loss of shares and market value.
The prosecutor further stated that these allegations were aimed at damaging GTCO’s reputation and were used as a means to extort the company.
On September 27, 2024, the accused were arraigned on two counts of cyberstalking and false publications intended to insult the CEO of GTCO, Segun Agbaje.
Some of their claims were that “the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, FIRS stormed GTBank over Segun Agbaje’s N1 trillion scam” and “Whistleblowers expose Segun Agbaje’s nepotism, power play, enriching himself and his sister, Kofo Dosekunni.”
After the defendants took their pleas, Justice Ayokunle Faji ordered they should be remanded at a correctional centre.
