    A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted Chioma Okoli bail worth N5 million, with two sureties.

    Hon. Justice Peter Lifu arraigned Okoli on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, but remanded him at Suleja Correctional Centre.

    She pleaded not guilty to the two counts of conspiracy and cyberstalking levelled against her.

    Her lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, filed a bail application, and on Friday, the judge granted her bail with two sureties in the same amount.

    Justice Lifu held that one of the sureties must be her spouse or blood relatives, and she must reside in Abuja with a verified means of livelihood.

    If she has a passport, she must also file it with the court.

    The court held that the ruling was predicated on Section 365(5) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended on the presumption of innocence. The court held that denying her bail would be a wrong application of discretion and tantamount to pre-trial judgement and judicial rascality.

    The case has been adjourned to June 13, 2024, for trial.

    The CEO of Erisco Foods Limited, Eric Omeofia, alleged in 2023 that a negative product review made by Chioma Okoli adversely impacted his business after she said that the Nagiko Tomato Mix she bought had too much sugar.

    Okoli was arrested by the police in September 2023, along with her lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, raising the alarm that the fundamental rights of his client were being breached by the police and Omeofia.

    The two counts read, “That you Chioma Edoka Okoli also known as Chioma Egodi Jnr, Happiness Obas now at large And Don Kashking now at large ‘m’ of on or about sometime in the month of September 2023 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, conspired among yourself and intentionally sent a message by means of computer and social media network such as Facebook, by using your Facebook handle by name Chioma Egodi Jnr, with the intention of instigating people against Erisco Foods Limited, knowing the said information to be false and with intent to cause annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, ill will, or needless anxiety to Erisco Foods Limited, the management, and members of the family, thereby committed an offense contrary and punishable under Section 27 (1) (B) Cyber Crime Prohibition Act.
