According to the report, multiple Facebook accounts bearing the name and photographs of the petitioner were created to defame his personality.
It was later discovered that the act was perpetrated by Rachael.
“The suspect used the internet to bully and defame his character…Facebook accounts created by Rachael were not the handiwork of the complainant,” Nwabuzor said.
