Nigerian woman faces seven years in prison for writing a damning online review of tomato puree.
A Nigerian woman is facing up to seven years in prison for writing a damning review of a can of tomato puree, after its maker accused her of damaging its business.
Chioma Okoli, a 39-year-old businesswoman based in Lagos, the country's largest city, is being criminally prosecuted and sued in a civil court after she made negative comments about a product made by Nigerian foodmaker Erisco Foods.
She called on her 18,000 Facebook followers to share their thoughts about Ericso's Nagiko Tomato Mix, after sharing a picture of an opened can of the product and saying it was too sweet.
One commenter said: 'Stop spoiling my brother's product. If [you] don't like it, use another one than bring it to social media or call the customer service.'
Okoli responded: 'Help me advise your brother to stop ki***ing people with his product, yesterday was my first time of using and it's pure sugar.'
