Police arrest man spreading ex-lovers’ nude photos on social media

The Lagos police command has arrested a Lagos-based businessman, Amara Kennedy, who allegedly shared his former lover’s nude pictures online.

Kennedy was accused of circulating unclad photos of two single mothers and also vowed to destroy their reputation

One of the victims, identified as Kester, made the disclosure of his arrest to newsmen on Friday.

Kester, who lost her husband about eight years ago in a car crash, said the suspect, after chatting her up, started showering her with monetary gifts.

However, after he demanded a loan which she turned down, he sent her over 50 of her nude photos.

According to her, the photos were taken without her knowledge after they had sexual intercourse in a hotel.

She said the suspect demanded N100,000 from her as a condition to delete the photos.

Despite the payments, the suspect went ahead to circulate the nude photos on Facebook.

Kester said she attempted suicide twice but failed, as some of those who saw the nude photos started questioning her.

The second victim, Temi, said the suspect usually had marathon sex with her in hotels while allegedly under the influence of drugs, and afterwards gave her N1,000 as transport fares.

She said after she discovered that the suspect was not serious about the relationship and was merely using her, she stopped talking to him.

However, Kennedy reportedly sent her several of her nude photos and demanded all the money he had spent on her in the relationship.

A rights group, Black Diamonds Support Foundation, alleged that after an investigation, it discovered that nine widows and three single mothers had fallen victims to Kennedy.
