An Abuja Area Court sitting in Mpape has directed that a middle-aged woman (45 years), Ms. Ozavize Jimoh, be remanded, pending when she meets her bail conditions.
This was consequent upon a criminal defamation suit brought against her by the Nigerian Police.
She was charged with defaming the President of the Association of Nigerian (ANA) whom she referred to as “bastard” and “stupid” in her social media page some time in April 2020.
She was earlier fined the sum of N30,000 by an Abuja high court for not appearing with her lawyer in April 2021.
Another accused, Sunday Dania, is also said to be on police wanted list for libel.
Mr Sunday is presently on the run and in hiding as he purportedly rejected a letter written to him by a lawyer from Abuja with respect to the case.
However, the Nigeria police has laid seige to him to effect his arrest whenever he is found.
The case has been adjourned for further hearing. (Trojan News)
