Emeka Okonkwo, the Nigerian businessman better known as E-Money, says the blogger who accused him of having an affair with the wife of Junior Pope, has been arrested.
Pope died on April 10 in the River Niger in Asaba, Delta state, while on his way to a movie location.
Shortly after, a Facebook influencer shared a video accusing E-Money of having an affair with Pope’s widow.
The blogger insinuated that the music executive might have been involved in the actor’s death.
Reacting to the incriminating video, E-Money vowed to sue the blogger for spreading such rumours.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, E-Money said the social media influencer has been arrested by the police.
The Five Star record label boss added that the suspect will face prosecution.
He also thanked the police for their commitment to justice and ending cyber bullying.
“I am relieved to share that one of the individuals responsible for the character assassination against me has been apprehended by the Nigeria Police Force and will face prosecution,” he said.
”This is a significant step towards ending the scourge of cyber bullying.
“My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the diligent officers of the Nigerian Police Force for their unwavering commitment to justice.”
