Ogun Police File Cyberbullying Charges Against Blogger Adetoun Onajobi
The Ogun State Police Command has filed a six-count charge against a social media blogger, Adetoun Onajobi, popularly known as @justadetoun, over alleged cyberbullying and the publication of false information against the Ogun State Government and the state governor.
The charges, which are now pending before the Federal High Court, Abeokuta Division, are said to be brought under provisions of the Cybercrimes Act.
According to a press release issued on Monday by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the suspect allegedly used various internet-enabled platforms to publish what the police described as false accusations and bullying content targeting the Ogun State Governor.
The police stated that Onajobi was invited on January 2, 2026, to respond to allegations arising from her online activities.
However, she reportedly failed to honour the invitation. Instead, her lawyer wrote to the police, claiming that she was medically indisposed and unable to attend the interview.
A medical report was attached to the letter, detailing health challenges allegedly suffered by the blogger.
The Command disclosed that discreet investigations later revealed that the medical report was falsified.
The doctor who purportedly issued the report was arrested and, during interrogation, allegedly admitted that the document was fabricated at the instruction of Adetoun Onajobi during a phone conversation facilitated by her lawyer.
Following the confession, the doctor was arraigned before an Ogun State Magistrates’ Court on charges of conspiracy, uttering a false document, and obstructing the course of justice.
The police further stated that Onajobi has since remained evasive, rebuffing subsequent invitations, and that her current whereabouts are unknown.
“The Ogun State Police Command remains resolute in its duty to tackle all forms of crime, whether violent, white-collar, or digital, while ensuring full respect for the constitutional rights of all persons,” the statement read.
It added “While free speech is constitutionally protected, it does not extend to criminal conduct.
The Command also disclosed that it is trailing other suspects allegedly connected to the dissemination of false information aimed at obstructing police investigations.
DSP Babaseyi noted that having failed to honour her earlier undertaking to appear before the police, the Command would “exhaust all lawful means” to apprehend Adetoun Onajobi and produce her before the court to answer the charges filed against her.
