She, however, disclosed that she forgave him following a plea from his family and friends.

"Adabasioni took videos of me, which were made by another party blogger with malicious intentions. Adabasioni manipulated the video to suit his narrative and posted it online to achieve his trolling goal. I became a subject of ridicule, and no one questioned the highly-manipulated video. I chose to respond for once by taking legal actions. The said blogger was arrested to produce his evidence, as claimed in the video. He had none, and I ensured he was detained in prison for two good weeks at the Ikoyi prison. He assassinated my character, and he paid for it in full!

You want to drive traffic to your page with defamatory stories, you will pay dearly for your foolishness," his statement read in part.
