A Nigerian lawyer has issued a strong warning to the public over the circulation of the bedroom video involving Eniola Sisialagbo, stressing the legal consequences attached to sharing such content.
The legal practitioner addressed the issue after being prompted to comment on the viral clip, explaining that he initially refrained from speaking because he had not seen the video.
After eventually receiving the footage, he outlined the legal implications of distributing explicit materials without consent.
He referenced Section 24 of Nigeria’s Cybercrime Act, noting that it criminalises the intentional sharing of offensive, obscene, or pornographic content digital platforms.
According to him, offenders risk severe penalties, including a fine of up to ₦7 million or a prison term of up to three years.
The lawyer emphasised that while consensual bedroom activity between adults is not a crime under Nigerian law, recording and especially leaking such private moments without consent constitutes a serious offence.
He further warned that even forwarding the video from one person to another amounts to a violation of the law.
He advised individuals who currently possess the video to refrain from sharing it to avoid legal trouble, adding that ignorance of the law would not serve as a defence.
He also noted that whoever originally leaked the video could face serious consequences if legal action is pursued.
The lawyer wrote:
“Atanda, you kept quiet.
You did not say Anything about Eniola Sisialagbo knacking tap£ because she is your friend
Atanda’s Reply; i did not see the video and you don’t expect me to talk about what i did not see.
WhatsApp messages drops; Atanda this is the video, oya say something about it. What does the law says about it?
You people sha want me to say something
Ok let’s go there.
Section 24 of the Cybercrime Act says: It is a crime to intentionally send messages or media via a computer system that are grossly offensive, pornographic, or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.”
The punishment is up to 7 million Naira fine or three years imprisonment
To the person who sent me the video, let me tell you the truth
For sending me that video, you have commited a crime against section 24 of the cybercrime Act. (But i owe you a duty of confidentiality and you are safe with Atanda)
S£x between two, three or four adult is not a crime under Nigerian law provided it’s based on consent.
But leaking such video or photo without their consent is a serious crime and sending that video from your phone to another person is also a serious crime under the law.
To anyone who currently have the video on their phone, to avoid FR££ stony beans, i will advice you not to send it anyone cos it’s a crime under the law.
I don’t know who leaked the video, but whoever leaked the video in the first place without her consent should know they have commited a crime and if she decides to take this case up with the person.
FR££ stony beans is sure for them.
And to you looking for the video or sending them, if she takes it up with you, FR££ stony beans for you.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”
