The reported ruling followed proceedings in which Swanky allegedly pleaded not guilty to charges linked to defamatory social media posts that triggered widespread outrage online.

Sources familiar with the matter claimed the defendant was arrested last month before appearing in court for the hearing delivered on Friday.

According to accounts circulating after the judgment, the court handed Swanky a two-year and nine-month prison sentence following what observers described as overwhelming and compelling evidence presented during the proceedings.

The Adekunle Gold Simi defamation case quickly became a major talking point across social media platforms, with fans praising the couple for taking firm legal action against online attacks involving minors.

Neither Adekunle Gold nor Simi had publicly issued a detailed statement on the reported judgment as of Friday evening.

The development has renewed conversations around cyberbullying, celebrity privacy and the growing legal consequences tied to defamatory online content in Nigeria.

Legal analysts noted that the powerful outcome of the alleged case could encourage more public figures to pursue formal legal remedies against harmful digital publications.
