Okoli is facing charges related to her online remarks about Erisco Foods Limited’s tomato paste, which the police say contravened the Cybercrime Act of 2015.
She was brought before the court by the Inspector-General of Police and indicted on two cybercrime counts.
Okoli entered a plea of not guilty to both charges.
The case has been adjourned until June 13, 2024, for trial.
