Idris Ebiloma who raped a 4-year-old girl in Abuja, prompting the hashtag #JusticeForKhloe, was sentenced to 14 years in prison today May 13th.

The story of Khloe and how she was raped through the vagina and anus was made to go viral when actress Rita Dominic took to Instagram to write about it.

According to Ms Dominic’s report shared on Instagram in July 2019, Idris was working as a cook for the victim’s parents in their home in Asokoro, Abuja, when he assaulted the child.

Rita’s narration angered a lot of people and they called for justice using their platforms.

Richard Mofe-Damijo reacted by writing an open letter to the Police Command to demand justice.
Tonto Dikeh reacted by leading a protest of Abuja residents to the Apo High Court where the case was brought for trial.

Well, justice has finally been served many months after. Activist/rapper Ruggedman revealed that Idris was sentenced to 14 years

He wrote: “Remember the man who raped 4 year old Klhoe? His name is Idris Ebiloma. He was today sentenced to 14 years in prison. Finally, #JusticeForKhloe.”

Following the attack on Nigeria rapper Ruggedman in London, the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria has written to the Nigeria High Commission in the United Kingdom.

On June 14, 2019, Ruggedman was attacked at a restaurant in London by some unknown personalities many claimed were fans of embattled singer Naira Marley.

PMAN in a one-page letter addressed to the commission, requested that a detailed investigation be carried out on the attack on Ruggedman while on a visit to the United Kingdom.

The letter signed by the association president, Pretty Okafor, partly reads, ”the case is currently with the Metropolitan police in London with reference number 3019340/19. We beseech to use your good office to ensure a thorough investigation is conducted to fish out the assailants and bring them to justice.”

Ruggedman has come out to clear the air about his involvement in the arrest of Naira Marley and Zlatan Ibile by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

There have some rumours on social media that Ruggedman might be the person who snitch on Naria Marley due to their Instagram spat.

Ruggedman released a statement saying “My fellow Nigerians and the Distinguished members of the Press, I have read and heard all sorts of comments pertaining to the Naira Marley case and seen the misinformation making the rounds which are quite unfortunate, to say the least. I do not know Naira Marley personally, the same way I do not know the over 300 Nigerians I have gotten justice for against police brutality. I do it because it is who I am. All I did was caution a young artist, who has influence, against making utterances about an issue that by the global standard is considered a crime. I believe correcting this was the way to go as an elder, but got insulted for this even by those being misled. I never responded to Naira Marley’s invectives nor those of his fans, same way I have not responded to any of the negative comments from social media. I note that saying I was “happy in a way” about his arrest has evidently frayed some nerves and for that, I apologise. It was in hope that it would serve as a deterrent for persons who might consider the said ills or need to make a U-turn. It by no means was intended to wish for his downfall. It perhaps was not a good choice of word in hindsight. I do not look forward to anyone’s downfall but rather hope we all learn from the situation. I hereby state categorically that I had nothing to do with his arrest. We all must recall that he glorified fraud on a public platform where security agencies like the Police, NDLEA, and EFCC are also on. I am sure they saw his posts and captions the same way we all did. I, however, was the one that cautioned him. I guess this was what led all the darts and arrows my way as literal mortal retribution to my person. Despite the disrespect to my person, I got nothing against him and only longed for him to be discerning and utilise his position of influence appropriately. May God bless you all and yes that includes those wishing me evil and threatening me. Nothing will change who I am and I will keep you all in my prayers,”

Veteran singer, Jahbless has spoken out about the recent arrest of Naira Marley and Zlatan Ibile by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Jahbless came on social media to share his thoughts on the arrest, saying if Naira Marley and Zlatan are truly fraudsters, then the law should be allowed to take its course with the EFCC allowed to carry out their investigation.

He wrote “Dear Ruggedman, first of all, I would like to thank you on the civil right services, if all artists could speak up the same way you’ve been doing, Nigeria would be a better place. However, if these new acts are being arrested because of their creative process then you might have been paddling in the wrong direction. The last time I checked, there is freedom of speech in this country, if an ignorant 22-year- old tweeted a wrong statement, we can always put him in check, which you did regarding Naira Marley, but how about Zlatan, he was picked up for a tweet or a song “Am I a Yahoo boy”. You think it is worth the energy and resource for the agency to pick them up because of their creative process? then songs like Yahooze and Maga don pay and many more should be subjected to investigations. Even in the western world, people make music about guns and drugs if the government are quick to pick them up, people like Rick Ross or JayZ should have a duplex in a penitentiary, because they sing about crime doesn’t make them criminals. If Naira Marley and Zlatan are truly fraudsters, let the law takes its course and the government carry out their investigation, everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty. We all need to tread carefully and make sure this whole process is for the right course, if these guys end up being innocent then our creative rights are in trouble. Meanwhile “Am I a Yahoo Boy” has 300k views in 24 hours, not a bad publicity after all… Peace.”

Looks like Ruggedman is taking his issues with Naira Marley beyond Instagram as he once again comes for Naira Marley over comments he made about Yahoo Boys (internet fraud) a few weeks ago.

Ruggedman who was a guest on a street interview with HIP TV, called Naira Marley an upcoming artiste and said that the fact that the government is unable to provide the basic amenities doesn’t mean you should get involve in Yahoo.

He said “For a young upcoming artist like him, he shouldn’t be doing stuff like that. You don’t just come out and start celebrating fraud. Especially something, nothing not just in Nigeria but the whole world is frowning upon. You don’t want to know how they look at Nigerians abroad because of fraud. Does two wrongs make a right? Because the government is making us lack in things like jobs and all, you now want to start stealing and killing and robbing and you’d say it is because the government is not providing you with some certain things. Everybody in the London, in the American, in the Dublin, we are not supporting that boy o, he is a fraudster on his own. We are hardworking Nigerians,”
