A legal dispute has emerged involving Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Hungary, Abass Braimah, and a Facebook user, Ramat Amanosi Ayemhoba, also known as “Fyne Ramyy,” after she accused him of collecting a ₦30 million bribe and attempting to influence political appointments.
In a Facebook post dated April 23, 2026, Ayemhoba alleged that Braimah received the sum from a local political figure, Okwilague Omruaye Valentine Abass, and was using his influence to impose preferred candidates in the constituency.
She also made several other claims questioning his integrity and political conduct, accusing him of favouritism and unethical behaviour in the handling of employment recommendations.
Following the post, Ayemhoba’s lawyer, Femi Joseph, alleged that she began facing intimidation and legal pressure from supporters of the ambassador-designate.
According to him, she later received a letter from a Senior Advocate of Nigeria threatening legal action if she did not withdraw the statements and issue an apology.
“She just made a post on Facebook. After that, she started receiving harassment from supporters of the ambassador-designate. Then a legal letter came demanding a retraction and apology within 72 hours,” Joseph said.
He added that preparations were underway for possible police involvement, including a potential cybercrime complaint against his client.
“They are threatening cyberstalking charges. We are expecting that the police may invite her soon,” he said.
In response, Braimah’s legal team, led by Famous Osawaru Eremwanarue, issued a formal demand letter on April 28, 2026, describing the Facebook post as defamatory and damaging to his reputation.
The lawyers stated that Braimah, a former member of the House of Representatives and ambassador-designate, had been portrayed in a manner that questioned his integrity and suitability for public office.
They argued that the publication suggested he was corrupt, nepotistic, and unfit for leadership, claims they said were false and injurious to his public image.
The legal team also cited provisions of Nigeria’s Cybercrimes law, accusing Ayemhoba of using social media to spread what they described as false and harmful information intended to harass and ridicule their client.
They demanded an immediate and unconditional apology to be published on all platforms where the original post appeared, warning that failure to comply within 72 hours would lead to both civil and criminal proceedings.
The case has since drawn attention online, with debates emerging around freedom of expression, political accountability, and the growing use of cybercrime laws in disputes involving public figures.
