For threatening Tiwa Savage, four people are in court.

The defendants, Eniola Adeniyi, Donatus Osabanumonu, Idorenyi Okon, and Michael Rodolphe, were charged with three counts of conspiracy, intent to defraud, and threat to life by the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Annex, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Idowu Oshubure, the prosecutor, said the court that the offense was committed by the defendants on or before April 13, 2023.

Oshunbure claims that the offenses violated and were punished in accordance with Sections 411 and 388 of the Lagos State Criminal Code and Section 14(3) of the 2015 Cyber Crime Prohibition Prevention Act.

The charge stated, in part, "That on or before April 13, 2023, in Lagos State, within the jurisdiction of Lagos, in this honorable court, you, Eniola Adeniyi, Donatus Osabanumonu, Idorenyi Okon, Michael Rodolphe, and others at large fraudulently conspired among yourselves to conduct yourselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace, to the annoyance of one Tiwa Savage, and you thereby committed

That you fraudulently sent messages to one Tiwa Savage through the phone number 09061665942 on the aforementioned date within the same court's jurisdiction with the intent to defraud and thereby committed an offense punishable under Section 14(3) of the Cyber Crime Prohibition Prevention Act, 2015, which caused her to reasonably fear for her life.

 The allegations were read to the defendants in English, but they entered a plea of not guilty. The defense attorney asked the judge to release the defendants on bond.

After reviewing their case file and receiving the prosecutor's approval—who did not object to bail—Magistrate Olatunbosun granted them bail in the amount of N300,000 with one responsible surety in the same amount for each.
