Scott Iguma Released On Bail After Three Days In Custody Over Alleged Cyber-Defamation Of Pwan

The Lagos State High Court on Monday granted bail to popular activist and influencer, Scott Iguma, three days after he was remanded over allegations of criminal defamation against a real estate company, PWAN.

Iguma’s bail comes days after the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, ordered his remand on Thursday following his arrest at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba, Lagos, over a 10-count charge bordering on alleged publication of false information and defamation.

Iguma Scott, last week Monday, publicly accused PWAN of defrauding customers and alleging that PWAN sold receipts instead of land to investors.

His arrest sparked outrage across social media, with many of his colleagues and associates, including Tunde Ednut, VeryDarkMan, Stanley Ontop, and singer Kokopee, calling out the Nigeria Police and PWAN, accusing them of attempting to silence Iguma.

On Monday, singer Kokopee announced in a video on his page that Iguma had been granted bail, confirming that his legal team was working to perfect the conditions for his release.
