Comedian Baba De Baba was reportedly arrested on Monday, February 10, 2025, following a criminal petition filed against him by actress May Edochie a month ago.
May Edochie’s lawyer, who confirmed the arrest, stated that Baba De Baba was being investigated for cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and other criminal offenses.
The lawyer also revealed that the comedian had accused May of threatening his life and kidnapping his son, claims that reportedly led to legal action.
Police had been monitoring him for two weeks before setting up a sting operation. According to reports, Baba De Baba was lured in with an endorsement deal, which he eagerly pursued, demanding ₦10 million and an additional allowance for appearances. Upon arriving to finalize the deal, he was arrested on the spot.
Aside from his arrest, Baba De Baba is also facing two separate civil summonses—one from the Lagos High Court and another from the Abuja High Court.
