Man who defamed businessman Emoney says he did it to gain followers (video)

A 24-year-old man, Stanley Okoruwa, arrested for defaming businessman, Emeka Okonkwo aka E-money, has claimed that he did it to gain followers. 

Last week, the suspect was arrested for making a video where he alleged that the E-money had a secret relationship with the widow of late actor, Junior Pope.

While being paraded, the suspect who is from Edo state, claimed he did it as a ‘’cruise” and to gain followers.

‘’I made a video about Sir E-Money and I said a lot of things that weren’t true. I said something regarding a video I saw online of a woman saying Emoney is responsible for everything that has taken place in regard to Jnr Pope’s matter. I said something similar to it and I also said Sir Emoney is having an affair with Jnr Pope’s wife. 

I made that video out of trying to grow my page. I wasn’t having any other bad intention to spoil Sir E-Money’s name. I didn’t even know the video would go to that extent. I know the video was wrong but I did not know it would go to that extent. Everything in that video is not true. There was nothing like that. I was trying to go popular or maybe have the opportunity to see Sir E-Money one-on-one but I didn’t know it was going to escalate to this extent”

He said his Facebook page is not monetized and did not make any money from it.

The suspect also apologised to the businessman and asked for his forgiveness.
