A piece of good news worth reporting is that Samuel Adeboye Adeyeye, popularly known online by his handles
@Swanky001 and Swanky_concept, has regained his freedom after a Good Samaritan paid the court-imposed fine.
Adeyeye was arrested, prosecuted, and convicted by a Federal High Court in Lagos on charges of cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and spreading information the court found to be false and malicious. The case arose from social media posts concerning the daughter of popular Nigerian singer
@adekunleGOLD and his wife,
@SympLySimi .
Following public interventions regarding the prison sentence imposed on him, a concerned benefactor stepped forward and paid the court-imposed fine in lieu of imprisonment.
As a result, Adeyeye has now been released and reunited with his family.
