If the on-going battle between Nigerian pop star, Wizkid and blogger Linda Ikeji, is not resolved pre-litigation,
Wizkid who threatened to send his underage cousin to beat up the blogger could spend up to seven years in jail if found guilty.
Their beef started early this year when Linda posted about Wizkid's second baby mama.
But their beef got worse early April when Linda Ikeji’s blog alleged that Wizkid had been served a quit notice from his Lekki residence in Lagos.
Wizkid who was at Congo at the time took to social media to lash out at the blogger. He was uncouth in his rant, even threatening to arrange to have the blogger beaten.
‘If I ever see you, I’ll get my 16 year old cousin to beat the shit out of you’ he said.
Linda did not take the it lightly as she has reported the threat to the Lagos State commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni.
A source at the Nigerian Police Headquaters said a summon has been issued to Wizkid, with an invitation letter sent to the Surulere office of his manager, Sunday Are
‘He was instructed to show up today but he did not’,
According to a legal source, Section 323 of the criminal code states that ‘Any person who, knowing the contents thereof directly or indirectly causes any person to receive any writing threatening to kill any person is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for 7 years’.
