Following a defamation and cyberstalking petition filed last week by gospel artiste, Nathaniel Bassey, against four Facebook users, one of them, Kingsley Ibe, has apologised to the singer and fellow counterpart, Mercy Chinwo.
Ibe also turned himself into police custody.
He and three others alleged that Bassey fathered the son of a fellow popular gospel singer, an allegation that went viral on X.
The three other social media users, identified in the petition are Okoronkwo Ejike, Terrence Ekot and Dj Spoiltkid.
A press statement released by Bassey’s legal representatives on Monday disclosed that the police have taken his statement together with other incontrovertible evidence ready for prosecution over criminal defamation and cyber-related offences.
The Legal Representatives also disclosed that the accused had shown remorse for his actions and was committed to redeeming himself.
They said Mr. Ibe has shown true repentance for his actions and made a commitment to turn a new leaf and become a more responsible member of society.
His aged mother and family members have also apologized on his behalf, and I have decided to extend a hand of fellowship and love towards him.”
