Popular Comedian, Seyi Law, has reacted to the trolls and the criticism he has continued to get over his support for President Bola Tinubu.
He said defaming him could land those involved in jail.
In a chat with Hip TV, he said he never took online abuse seriously except when folks attack his character by defaming him.
Seyi explained: “Internet trolls and backlash online, for me, even if I respond, it ends there. I don’t take them into my personal life. You don’t see me outside showing them on my face. Some would say that they are E-warriors. As long as I try to be compassionate and kind to people, I am in the right standing with my creator. Once I’m in the right standing with my creator, every other thing doesn’t matter.”
Yet, he pointed out the distinction between personal attacks and defamation. , urging everyone to refrain from making defamatory statements without evidence:
“For those who reply and those who choose to arrest anyone that has defamed them, I don’t advise them otherwise. You can insult someone and you can abuse them but don’t defame them. Don’t say they collected money when you didn’t see them collect money. Don’t call them ashawo when you didn’t see them involved in prostitution.
“When a person insults me, those things don’t matter to me. That is their problem. But don’t defame. Don’t cross the boundary that will take you to jail. The one’s that I feel I can reply, I reply and the ones that I don’t seem necessary, I ignore.”
