Man remanded for sharing 'lover's nude videos

It was the case of the Prosecution that, on October 24, 2023, “the accused person represented to the complainant that he had an online business meeting with his colleagues at his workplace in Canada.”

The PSA stated that “compelled by this representation, the complainant sent him $75 via Skill money transfer for the data and groceries which the accused person received via mobile money number 0540890276.”

“The accused person expressed fears of losing the vehicle if the loan was not repaid and used that as a pretext to request a loan of $320 from the complainant to reclaim his car from the lender.

Richard Gymbiby also told the Court that on November 18, 2023, “just a week after the receipt of the $320, the accused person once again came up with another story of having been involved in an accident in Nigeria on 17th November 2023 when he went for a walk.”

“The complainant was devastated to learn that the accused person had recorded their cybersex sessions without her knowledge.

“To prove that he truly had the videos, the accused person sent a sexually explicit photograph of the complainant which he culled from the videos.

The Prosecution told the Court again that, as a result, “the accused person resorted to email where he sent evidence of sexually explicit videos he had posted on pornographic websites, and also sent to her friends on Facebook with a threat to further distribute to more than 700 persons and the complainant’s 16-year-old daughter if she did not the pay the money.”
