The Inspector General of Police, acting through the Force Criminal Investigation Department (ForceCID) in Lagos, brought a four-count charge against Surpruchi before Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa. The charges include conspiracy, cyberstalking, the dissemination of false information, and defamation.

According to the case file (FHC/L/316C/2026), prosecutors allege that the defendant used the X (formerly Twitter) handle @PROBLEMCHLMKYI to spread false claims on or around April 5, 2026. Specifically, the prosecution stated that Surpruchi and accomplices published fabricated stories alleging that Elumelu had divorced his wife after DNA results purportedly indicated none of his seven children were biologically his. These posts garnered significant attention, reaching approximately 1.9 million views, 1,600 reposts, and 6,300 likes. The prosecution argued that these actions were intended to expose Elumelu and his family to public ridicule, hatred, and reputational harm.

These activities are alleged to violate both the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act of 2015 and the Criminal Code Act.

Upon entering a plea of not guilty, the court addressed the defendant’s bail application. Because the prosecution needed time to respond to the recently filed motion, Justice Lewis-Allagoa adjourned the hearing until June 19, 2026. In the interim, the court ordered that Surpruchi be remanded in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service.

I’m going to have my first child through surrogate…”.

This announcement marks a change in perspective for the Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, as she had mentioned just a few weeks prior that she was not interested in having children, preferring instead to focus on raising pets like cats and dogs. Despite previously stating she did not feel drawn to motherhood, she affirmed that she is capable of having children.
