“To Gain Followers” – Man Reveals Why He Accused E-Money Of Sleeping With Junior Pope’s Wife

An online blogger, Stanley Okoruwa has revealed why he defamed businessman Emeka Okonkwo, known as “E-Money.”

In a viral video, Stanley accused E-Money of having an affair with the wife of the late Nollywood star Junior Pope Odonwodo

He also accused the businessman of being responsible for the death of the late actor, who died in a boat accident.

In his reactions, E-Money petitions the police to arrest the three people who made the false accusations against him.

The businessman later announced the arrest of Stanley Okoruwa for defamation and cyberbully, accusing him of trying to ruin his reputation with false claims.

Yesterday, at Lagos state police headquarters in Ikeja, Stanley was paraded to the media and confessed that he made the video to increase his online followers.

Speaking to reporters, Stanley Okoruwa said “I did a video about E-Money. I said a lot of things that are not true in that video, that is why the police arrested me.”

When asked what exactly he said, the suspect added, “I said something regarding a video I saw online about a woman – saying that Sir E-Money is responsible for the things that happened to Nollywood Actor, John Odonwodo, aka Junior Pope’s case.

“I said something like that, I also said that Sir E-Money was also having an affair with Junior Pope’s wife. I have never in my life met E-Money. Everything I made in that video was not true.”

Continuing, he said, ”I made the video out of trying to boost my page traffic level, I never knew it would go viral the way it went. I don’t have a bad intention to spoil Sir E-Money’s name. I was just making the video, I didn’t know it would go such wide.”

“I know the contents of the video were wrong of me to have made. I don’t know the video will escalate to that extent,” the suspect added.

Stanley stated, ”I saw that the video was already going viral, I thought pulling it down will not make sense. I decided to leave it. I have not reached out to E-Money to apologise, because I don’t have his contact to do so.

“I was already planning to make an apology video, that was when I was arrested by the police. I have been praying to have this opportunity to apologize to him. I am very sorry Sir E-Money, I don’t mean to tarnish his image, I didn’t mean to spoil his name online.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Junior Pope tragically died with three others after a boat carrying them capsized on the Anam River during a movie shoot.

Junior Pope was buried on May 17, 2024 in his hometown of Ukehe in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State.
