Police file cyberbullying charge against blogger

Adetoun Onajobi

• Court remands doctor over fake medical report linked to suspect
The Ogun State Government has confirmed that a medical doctor has been remanded in prison for allegedly issuing a fake medical report to help a popular blogger, Adetoun Onajobi, also known as @justadetoun, evade police arrest.
 
The state government also disclosed that the Ogun State Police Command has filed a six-count charge of cyberbullying against the blogger, who is now on the run, following a petition lodged against her by the government.
 
The charges, now pending before the Abeokuta Division of the Federal High Court, arose from allegations that Onajobi used social media and other internet-enabled platforms to publish what the command described as false accusations against the state government and to bully Governor Dapo Abiodun, in contravention of the Cybercrimes Act.

This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Oluwasina Ogungbade.
 
According to the statement, Onajobi has, over the years, been accused of bullying, harassment, and using offensive language against individuals on social media platforms.
 
The matter escalated following an accident involving the boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, in Ogun State. Adetoun allegedly posted videos claiming there was no ambulance service anywhere in the state and further accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of being in Ghana, partying instead of attending to the boxer’s welfare.
 
Ogungbade described the allegations as false, malicious, and misleading, stressing that Ogun State operates several state-owned and state-supported ambulance services.
 
He noted that such claims posed a public safety risk by misinforming residents about available healthcare services. Consequently, the state reported Adetoun to the police for alleged violations of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015.
 
Meanwhile, Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Oluseyi Babaseyi, in a statement, noted that the suspect was invited for questioning on January 2, 2026, but failed to appear.
 
According to the Command, Onajobi, through her lawyer, claimed she was medically indisposed and unable to attend the interview, attaching a medical report allegedly issued by a medical doctor.
