“Some say they are E warriors; as long as I try to be compassionate and kind to others, I am in the right position before my creator. Once I am in the right position before my creator, everything else is irrelevant,” he explained.

Seyi also warned against making defamatory statements without supporting evidence and drew a clear distinction between personal insults and defamation.

“To those who retaliate and those who choose to arrest anyone who has defamed them, I do not advise otherwise. You can insult someone and you can abuse them, but do not defame them. Do not say they are collecting money when you do not see them collecting money, do not call them ashawo when you do not see them engaging in prostitution.

“When someone insults me, those things are not important to me, that’s your problem, but don’t defame me. Don’t cross the line that will land you in jail. What I think I can retaliate, I retaliate and what I think I don’t need, I ignore,” Seyi Law concluded.
