Nollywood actress, Georgina Onuoha, has slammed her colleague, Eniola Badmus, and the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, over what she termed as an abuse of power and intimidation.
CityNews Nigeria recalls that Badmus had last week arrested and paraded a female TikToker identified as Ego, who accused her of pimping girls to top politicians.
However, Georgina, in a post via her Instagram page, frowned at the treatment meted at the lady, saying Badmus took a wrong approach in seeking justice.
According to the thespian, the police should not be used as a weapon of intimidation, and publicly parading the victim is tantamount to kidnapping.
She wrote: “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 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 an abuse of power and intimidation on your part. Use the law diligently and not oppressively. 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, yes then arrest her. 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. @benjamimhundeyin your men should not be engaging in such ineptitude. This is an 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 just prevails over personal grievances. This is tantamount to kidnapping by @eniola_badmus and members of the police force.”
