According to reports, Sammy regained his freedom on Monday, November 10, 2025, after several days in custody. He was earlier remanded at the Keffi Prison by a Dutse Magistrate Court before being moved to Suleja Prison.

“Joke’s on you, Ned, because you thought people would hate me,” accompanied by a playful tongue-out emoji.

The actress further reflected on the difficult period, admitting that while many mocked her online, the criticism only made her tougher.
