Nollywood actor Emeka Ike has threatened legal action against an aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over allegations relating to an alleged leak of personal information from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) database.
The controversy erupted after the actor's voter registration details were reportedly shared online during a political exchange, sparking concerns about privacy and the protection of citizens' personal data.
Emeka Ike condemned the publication of his details, describing it as an invasion of privacy and warning that those responsible could face legal consequences.

The development has drawn attention from legal observers and digital rights advocates, who say the case could raise important questions about data security and accountability in the digital age.
