A clergyman in Osun State, Niyi Peter, was incriminated on Thursday before a Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Osogbo for allegedly defaming popular gospel artiste, Bunmi Akinnaanu, also known by her stage name Omije Ojumi, via social media.
Peter, facing a three-count charge, allegedly posted a picture of the artiste on social media and labeled it “prostitute song,” sparking maltreatment among her fans and colleagues.
Appearing before Magistrate Dr. Olusegun Ayilara, details from the charge sheet read that, “You, Apostle Niyi Peter, male, in the month of April 2024, at about 12:00 pm at Oke-Odo Area, Osogbo, in the Osogbo Magisterial District, did slander the character of one Bunmi Akinnaanu, a.k.a. Omije Ojumi, by posting her picture and tagging it ‘prostitute song’ on social media via your WhatsApp number 08065352473.”
The clergyman was also accused of sending a threatening voice note to Akinnaanu, disclosing that she “will wither and never intensify again.”
