A Lagos State Magistrate’s Court sitting at Igbosere on Monday adjourned the case involving a TikToker, Yusuf Olamilekan, accused of posting the nude photographs of one Idowu Adebunwo on social media, to July 3, 2026, for a report on possible settlement.
Magistrate Kemi Awoyinka fixed the date after counsel to the defendant, Tokunbo Olawuyi, informed the court that the parties were exploring an out-of-court settlement.
Olamilekan, 32, popularly known on TikTok as “BINTINLAYEAZEEZ 1991”, was arraigned on June 1, 2026, on a two-count charge bordering on unlawful display of nude photographs and threat to life.
The police alleged that the defendant posted nude photographs of the nominal complainant, Adebunwo, on his TikTok handle and threatened to kill him.
The prosecutor, Adewale Sodiq, told the court that the offences were committed in July 2025 at Isolo, Lagos.
He alleged that Olamilekan conducted himself in a manner likely to cause a breach of the public peace by displaying Adebunwo’s nude photographs on social media.
According to the prosecutor, the offences committed contravened Sections 168(1)(d) and 56(1)(a) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Following his arraignment, Magistrate Awoyinka granted him bail in the sum of N500,000 with two responsible sureties in like sum.
She then adjourned the case until Monday for the commencement of the trial.
At the resumed hearing on Monday, Sodiq informed the court that the matter was scheduled for trial.
However, he said none of the prosecution witnesses was present in court and disclosed that the prosecution intended to apply for a virtual hearing for the nominal complainant.
“My Lord, the matter was adjourned till today for trial. We intend to apply for a virtual hearing for the nominal complainant; however, we do not have any witnesses in court,” the prosecutor said.
He also informed the court that he had yet to receive the proof of evidence.
He also informed the court that he had yet to receive the proof of evidence.
“Our humble application is for an adjournment to see if we can settle out of court. But I have not gotten the proof of evidence,” Olawuyi said.
Magistrate Awoyinka encouraged the partners to settle the case outside the courtroom.
“I have looked at the nature of the charge. There is nothing in the charge that cannot be settled out of court,” she said.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor informed the court that the nominal complainant had reported that shortly after Olamilekan was granted bail on June 1, 2026, he allegedly returned to social media and continued to cyberbully him.
Sodiq argued that such conduct was inconsistent with a genuine desire to settle the matter amicably.
