The Edo State Police Command on Monday placed a N5 million reward for information that would lead to the arrest of a Canada-based Nigerian lady, Rachael Eboni Osazee Iyonmana, over allegations of cyberbullying/stalking, defamation and impersonation.
Addressing newsmen in Benin, the command’s spokesperson, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said the police had in January declared the suspect wanted in its Special Police Gazette Bulletin. “On January 11, the Commissioner of Police received a petition from the Chairman, Nigerian Union of Journalists, Edo State Council, Comrade Festus Alenkhe, over the alleged offence of cyberbullying/stalking and defamation of character, against one Rachael Eboni Osazee Iyonmana,” he said.
The police spokesman said the command had written a letter to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Force CID Annex, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos, but while the police were on her trail to effect the arrest, intelligence revealed that the suspect was in Canada. Nwabuzor said the suspect opened multiple Facebook accounts, using the petitioner’s photographs and full name on Facebook, and used demeaning, derogatory language to defame the petitioner’s personality.
