The High Court sitting in Ado
Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital presided by Justice Taiwo on
Wednesday sentenced Ayan Olubunmi, a man in his early 40's to two years in
prison and slammed him with N500,000 fine for posting a nude photo of his lover
on Facebook.
Ayan, was convicted after he
carried out his threat to post nude pictures of his estranged lover, Monica
Arare, on the social media when their relationship broke down.
Counsel for the AGF, identified simply as Mrs Oyewole, had told the court that Ayan had threatened to post nude pictures Monica on the social media sometime in 2017 when the lady told him she was no longer interested in their amorous relationship.
According to the council, Monica, a single lady, had pleaded with Ayan, who is married with children, not to carry out his threat and he had requested for a sum of N200,000 as an inducement for him to rescind his decision.
Ayan had, however, posted the nude pictures of Monica as he threatened when the lady could not get him the money he had demanded.
Justice Taiwo in his judgement held that Ayan violated Section 24 (1) of the Cyber Crime Act, 2015 and was guilty of committing the crime after evidence made available to the court proved that he willfully and maliciously committed the crime.
While sentencing the accused the judge said:
"I find the act of the convict highly disgraceful, very despicable and barbaric to say the least. He has behaved true to the saying that hell knows no fury than a lover ‘s scorn. I must say that the defendant who has a wife and children at home could find it easy to demean and embarrass a woman who was having an amorous affair with him.
“It is an act of meanness to attempt to if he has not already tarnished the image and reputation of Asare Monica. The act of the convict is very strange in our society not to talk of in Aisegba-Ekiti and Ekiti State in general, where there are very proud and educated men and women and the society is so closely linked together and everyone knows one another.

“Justice, in this case, demands that people like the convict should be taught a lesson that would serve as a deterrent to others who may like to behave in such a manner.
