Netizens are gearing up to protest following reports that Chioma Okoli suffered a miscarriage amidst her ongoing dispute with Erisco Foods. Okoli, who faced legal battles after criticizing the company's product on Facebook in 2023, has been embroiled in a contentious back-and-forth. CEO Eric Umeofia responded by accusing her of being an agent of his adversaries seeking to tarnish his company's reputation, leading to her arrest. Subsequently, Erisco Foods filed charges against her for Conspiracy and Cyberstalking, initiating a protracted legal confrontation.
During the latest court session, Okoli's lawyer disclosed that the stress of the case had tragically led to the loss of her pregnancy over the past months. Despite this revelation, she remained in custody awaiting the court's decision on her bail application.
