A Federal High Court in Lagos has granted bail to popular TikToker Saheed Jamiu Osama, also known as Shamsodium, and his associate, Uyime Godwin Udoekwere (Honeywhite), who are facing charges of conspiracy, cyberstalking, and character assassination against Mrs. Omowunmi Aloba, widow of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad).
Justice Ibrahim Kala, who presided over the case, on Thursday, September 25, 2025, admitted the two defendants to bail in the sum of N3 million each, with one surety in like sum.
The court ordered that the sureties must reside within its jurisdiction and depose to an affidavit of means.
In addition, both defendants and their sureties are required to submit two recent passport photographs, Bank Verification Numbers (BVN), National Identification Numbers (NIN), and their verified residential and office addresses, to be confirmed by the court in conjunction with officers from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
The defendants were represented in court by their counsel, Bolaji Oluwatosin M., Esq and Terhemba Kaabega.
Osama and Udoekwere were remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre on July 25, 2025, after being arraigned by the police for allegedly disseminating defamatory content about Mrs. Aloba.
According to police prosecutor Anthony Iyeye, the defendants, along with others still at large, conspired between July 4 and 5, 2025, to use digital platforms to spread false information targeting Mrs. Aloba. Their arrest was carried out by the ‘Delta Attack’ unit of the Lagos SCID.
Police prosecutor Anthony Iyeye told the court that between July 4 and 5, 2025, the defendants, alongside others still at large, conspired to use computers and social media platforms to circulate false and damaging information about Mohbad’s widow.
Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The bail application was brought under Section 36(5) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), and Sections 158 and 162 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.
The defence argued that the charges were bailable and that the presumption of innocence should apply pending trial.
The case, filed under Charge No: FHC/L/611C/2025, will continue as the court prepares for the next phase of proceedings.
