Police Files Charges Against Activist Blogger for ‘cyber bullying’

Ogun State Police Command has filed a six-count charge against Adetoun Onajobi, popularly known across multiple social media platforms as @justadetoun.

It said the charges are pending at Abeokuta Division of the Federal High Court.

The command in a statement by its spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, yesterday, alleged that Onajobi, an internet blogger, had in recent times used social media and other internet-enabled computer platforms to publish false accusations against Ogun State Government and bully Governor Dapo Abiodun, in breach of the Cybercrimes Act.

The command through a statement by its spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, alleged that Onajobi, an internet blogger, had in recent times used social media and other internet-enabled computer platforms to publish false accusations against Ogun State Government and bully the governor, in breach of the Cybercrimes Act. The command noted that the suspect had remained evasive and rebuffed invitation to clear the allegations against her, assuring the citizens that she would be arrested and arraigned.

“On January 2, 2026, Ogun State Police Command invited Onajobi for an interview to afford her the opportunity to respond to allegations arising from her online bullying of the Ogun State governor.

“Rather than honour the police invitation, the suspect, through her lawyer, wrote to the Police, claiming she was medically indisposed and unable to attend the meeting. Attached to the letter was a medical report allegedly issued by a medical doctor, detailing several medical challenges purportedly suffered by the suspect and the efforts made to treat and stabilise her.

“Discreet investigations by the Police, however, confirmed the falsity of the claims contained in the medical report. This led to the arrest of the doctor, who subsequently admitted that the entire medical report was a ruse, crafted at the direction of the suspect, Onajobi, during a phone conversation between them, facilitated by her lawyer.

“Consequent upon this revelation, the doctor was arraigned at an Ogun State Magistrates’ Court for conspiracy, uttering a false document and obstructing the course of justice.

“The suspect, Adetoun Onajobi, has remained evasive and has rebuffed every invitation extended to her by the Police. Her current whereabouts are unknown.

“The command continues to trail other suspects connected to the false information allegedly deployed by Adetoun Onajobi in an attempt to obstruct police investigations.

“Furthermore, having reneged on her prior undertaking to honour police invitations, the command will exhaust all lawful means to apprehend and produce her before the court to answer the charges already filed against her,” the command said.

According to the statement, Ogun State Police Command remains resolute in its duty to tackle all forms of crime brought to its attention, whether violent, white-collar, or digital.

Assuring residents of full respect for the constitutional rights of all persons, it warned that constitutionally protected activities such as free speech have lawful limits and do not grant immunity from criminal conduct.
