A Nigerian social media user identified as Mr. Samuel Adeboye Adeyeye, popularly known online as “Swanky_concept,” has reportedly been sentenced to two years imprisonment after pleading guilty to spreading false information about the daughter of Nigerian music stars Adekunle Gold and Simi.
According to reports making rounds online, the incident began after the social media user allegedly published a misleading post on X, formerly known as Twitter, falsely announcing the death of the couple’s daughter, Deja. Article quickly attracted attention and generated widespread reactions across social media platforms before it was later confirmed to be false.
