A young man known as X banger boy, Adeyeye, who was arrested for spreading fake news about singer Adekunle Gold and his wife Simi’s child, has been released from custody.

He has been reunited with his family after a Good Samaritan stepped in to pay the court-imposed fine.

Adeyeye was arrested following a police investigation into false information he circulated on social media. The fake news, which went viral, involved baseless claims about the celebrity couple’s child. The post caused significant distress to the family and sparked widespread outrage online.

The court found Adeyeye guilty of spreading false information and imposed a fine as part of his sentence.

However, he was unable to pay the fine on his own. Fortunately, a kind-hearted individual, whose identity has not been publicly disclosed, came forward and paid the full amount on his behalf.

His release has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some people are relieved that he has been freed and reunited with his family. Others argue that spreading fake news about someone’s child is a serious offense and that he should have faced harsher consequences. Many are also calling for stricter laws to discourage others from spreading false information online.

The case serves as a reminder of the power and danger of social media. Spreading false information, especially about private individuals and families, can have serious legal consequences. For now, Adeyeye is free, but his case has opened a wider conversation about accountability and responsible behaviour online.
