Victor, purportedly linked to the publications in question, has been brought before a Federal High Court in Abuja to face a six-count charge, labeled as FHC/ABJ/CR/434/2023.

Among the charges leveled against him are criminal conspiracy, cyberstalking, and defamation. The case, presided over by Justice Bolaji Olajuwon, has been adjourned until April 15 for further trial proceedings.

According to the charge, Victor, along with others now at large, is accused of jointly publishing defamatory statements and false allegations against His Excellency Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN, CON, through the online platform Reportera.ng. The publications implicated Fashola in purportedly drafting controversial judgments related to the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) that dismissed petitions by the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The charges specifically outline instances of criminal conspiracy and cyberstalking, highlighting the accused's alleged involvement in fabricating and disseminating false information with the intent to defame and cause harm.

This legal action underscores the government's commitment to upholding justice and combating the spread of misinformation. As the trial progresses, it remains imperative to ensure the protection of individuals' reputations and the integrity of judicial processes.

As the case unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible communication and the potential consequences of spreading false information in the digital age. The outcome of this trial will undoubtedly have broader implications for the regulation of online content and the preservation of individuals' rights in Nigeria's legal landscape.
