Emmanuel Ajibade, a TikTok content creator, appeared in an Akure Magistrates’ Court for allegedly cyberbullying a Federal Road Safety Corps official, Ibitoye Samuel. Ajibade and others allegedly spread falsehoods on TikTok, causing annoyance, inconvenience, and anxiety for Samuel.

The police prosecutor asked the court to remand Ajibade in the Correctional Centre, citing the Cyber Crime Act. However, Ajibade’s counsel requested a short date to file a counter affidavit.

“ His action also resulted in intimidation, enmity and hatred, ill will and needless anxiety for Ibitoye Samuel, an official of FRSC in the state,” he said.
