Earlier, we reported that popular blogger Dorcas Adeyinka was wanted by the Nigerian police in connection with a cyber-stalking, abduction and murder case.
A lawyer for Ms Adeyinka has dismissed the allegations against her, saying she is a “law-abiding citizen” who has been “unfairly targetted”.
Pelumi Olajengbesi, from Abuja-based practice Law Corridor, said the allegations boil down to a “social media altercation” between Ms Adeyinka and a number of other individuals.
He said Ms Adeyinka had been the first to report the dispute to the police, “only to face further harassment and attempts to silence her”.
He added that his client has never “shunned” the police and has “initiated contact with the appropriate channels”.
