The Ogun State Police Command has filed a six-count cyberbullying charge against activist Adetoun Onajobi, popularly known as Just Adetoun, accusing her of publishing false information online and cyberbullying Governor Dapo Abiodun.
The charges, which are pending before the Abeokuta Division of the Federal High Court, stem from allegations that Onajobi used social media and other internet-enabled platforms to make what the police described as false accusations against the Ogun State Government, contrary to provisions of the Cybercrimes Act.
In a statement issued on Monday and signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, Oluseyi Babaseyi, the command said Onajobi had been declared evasive after repeatedly failing to honour police invitations.
According to the statement, the activist was invited for questioning on January 2, 2026, to respond to the allegations but failed to appear.
“On January 2, 2026, the Ogun State Police Command invited Adetoun Onajobi for an interview to afford her the opportunity to respond to allegations arising from her alleged online bullying of the Ogun State Governor,” the statement read.
The police said Onajobi, through her lawyer, claimed she was medically indisposed and unable to attend the interview, attaching a medical report purportedly issued by a medical doctor.
“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,” the statement said.
However, the command said subsequent investigations revealed that the medical report was falsified.
“Discreet investigations by the police confirmed the falsity of the claims contained in the medical report,” the statement noted.
Babaseyi added that the doctor who issued the report was arrested and later admitted that the document was fabricated at the instruction of the suspect.
“The doctor subsequently admitted that the entire medical report was a ruse, crafted at the direction of the suspect during a phone conversation,” the statement said.
Following the admission, 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 spokesperson said Onajobi had since remained out of reach.
“The suspect has remained evasive and has rebuffed every invitation extended to her by the police. Her current whereabouts are unknown,” he said.
He added that the command would employ all lawful means to ensure she is brought before the court.
“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 statement read.
The police also stressed that constitutional rights to freedom of expression do not shield individuals from criminal liability.
“Constitutionally protected activities such as free speech have lawful limits and do not grant immunity from criminal conduct,” the statement said.
It was earlier reported that the police confirmed inviting Onajobi following a petition over a series of videos she posted on social media criticising Governor Abiodun’s performance in office.
In the videos, the Ogun State-born activist accused the governor of abandoning victims of a road accident involving Nigerian-born British boxer Anthony Joshua, who lost two friends and trainers when their vehicle collided with a stationary truck along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in December 2025.
Onajobi alleged that the state had “no single functional ambulance” and claimed that while emergency medical services were lacking, the governor preferred “spending public funds on parties rather than addressing urgent public needs.”
She also alleged that although the state could not procure a functional ambulance, it was able to purchase SUVs for local government chairmen in December 2025.
The police said investigations were ongoing and that other individuals linked to the alleged dissemination of false information were being traced.
