Online Feud Sparks Legal Battle Between Canada-Based "Counsellor Sarah" and Edo TikToker Collins Agbedu

A heated social media feud has escalated into a real-world legal battle in Edo State, Nigeria. The dispute involves a Canada-based Nigerian woman known online as "Counsellor Sarah" and an Edo-based TikToker, Collins Agbedu, also referred to on social media as "Godfather".  

According to reports circulating online, the clash began after an exchange of insults between the two content creators. Supporters of Agbedu claim the feud started when Counsellor Sarah allegedly insulted Agbedu's mother during a live broadcast or video post. In retaliation, Agbedu reportedly went into a recording studio and produced a diss track aimed directly at Sarah, using her name and likeness in the song.  

Following the release of the song, Counsellor Sarah allegedly petitioned Nigerian law enforcement authorities from her base in Canada. This led to Agbedu's arrest by police in Edo State over allegations bordering on cyberbullying and defamation. Commentators covering the drama on platforms like https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CBVZy4yPxtA claim the content creator has been arrested twice in connection with the dispute and has been summoned to appear before a High Court on cybercrime-related charges.  

The incident has sparked intense debate across Nigerian social media circles. Many online observers have criticized the escalating trend of diaspora-based influencers using Nigerian law enforcement to settle personal online beefs. Others, however, point out that recording and distributing derogatory songs about individuals crosses the line from free speech into actionable cyberstalking under Nigeria's Cybercrimes Act.  

As of now, the case remains ongoing, leaving followers on both sides watching closely to see how the courts will handle the fallout from the viral feud.
