Wada alleged that Oluwatuyi conspired to defame his ex-girlfriend, Joy Adedeji, by sharing her explicit video on social media, thereby subjecting her to humiliation and ridicule.
Additionally, Wada claimed that on the 27th of the same month, the defendant physically assaulted the victim by striking her with a fist blow, causing injuries to her body.
