Nigerian rapper, Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, is currently under police investigation following a formal petition filed against him for alleged harassment, cyberstalking, and blackmail after a woman claimed he targeted her online when she rejected his advances.
The petition, submitted to the Nigeria Police Force on October 25, accuses the 29-year-old artist of multiple violations under Nigerian law, including the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act of 2015, the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act of 2015, and the Data Protection Act of 2023.
According to the complaint, Blaqbonez allegedly engaged in “emotional harassment” and circulated private videos online after the woman refused his proposal.
The legal representatives for the petitioner revealed that two formal notices demanding ₦200 million in damages and a public apology were ignored prior to the filing.
