Police have arrested a content creator for making allegations against Nigerian billionaire, Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, which revolved around an alleged romantic affair between E-Money and Jennifer Awele, wife of late Nollywood actor, Junior Pope.
Recall that two social media users and some Instagram blogs had boldly accused E-money of being partly responsible for the death of Junior Pope, who they claimed threatened to expose the love affair between the billionaire and his wife.
E-money, debunking the allegation in a statement via his Instagram page, described the allegations as one that shows a complete lack of respect for the memory of the deceased and is deeply hurtful to the grieving family.
He further urged the members of the public to assist the authorities with credible information that could lead to the arrest of the social media users who had made the allegation.
