Nigerian TikToker Blessing Okoye recently garnered a lot of online attention when she was arrested under the watchful eye of illustrious actress Eniola Badmus.

Following her release from custody, Blessing has at last spoken.

In a viral video on social media, Ego laments the fact that the cops have her phone in their possession with venom.

She claimed that she had been freed from detention for more than a week since her argument with Eniola was settled and she had to pay a fine.

Ego claims that despite the court's directive that her items be returned, the police have been completely silent.

She explained how frequently she had gone to the police station only to be instructed to return on different days.

The TikToker discussed her predicament and how her inability to access money has been impacted by losing her phone. She added fuel to the fire by expressing the urgency of needing medical care but not having the funds to pay for it.

And to top it all off, she lamented that she had missed a wonderful opportunity to interview for a Canada sponsorship since her phone's secret access code was located there.

Eniola Badmus sued the tiktoker Blessing for defamation after they called her a pimp.

She alleged in a popular video that the actress had introduced young ladies to influential politicians in return for money. This video was widely disseminated on social media, severely harming the star's reputation.

On Wednesday, August 2, 2023, Blessing was sentenced to three years in prison for cyberstalking at the High Court, with the option of paying a fine of $150,000.
