Ogun Police File Six-Count Cybercrime Charges Against Blogger JustAdetoun Over Alleged Online Bullying Of Governor, Fake Medical Report
The Police arrested the medical doctor whose name appeared on the report. During interrogation, the doctor allegedly confessed that the entire medical report was fabricated.
Abeokuta, Ogun State– The Ogun State Police Command has slammed a six-count criminal charge against a popular social media blogger, Adetoun Onajobi, widely known by her online handle, @justadetoun, over allegations bordering on cybercrime, dissemination of false information, and obstruction of justice.
The charges, which are now pending before the Federal High Court, Abeokuta Division, stem from allegations that the blogger used various internet-enabled platforms to publish false accusations against the Ogun State Government and to allegedly engage in sustained online bullying of the Governor of Ogun State, actions the Police say contravene relevant provisions of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Command, DSP Oluseyi B. Babaseyi, said Adetoun Onajobi (female) has, in recent times, been under police investigation following complaints arising from her online activities.
According to the Police, on January 2, 2026, the Ogun State Police Command formally invited Onajobi for an interview to enable her respond to allegations linked to her alleged online conduct, particularly claims of cyberbullying directed at the Governor of Ogun State.
However, the Command disclosed that instead of honouring the invitation, the suspect, through her legal counsel, wrote to the Police claiming that she was medically indisposed and therefore unable to attend the scheduled meeting.
The letter was accompanied by a medical report which outlined what were described as several serious health challenges allegedly suffered by the blogger and detailed efforts said to have been made to treat and stabilise her condition.
DSP Babaseyi stated that doubts over the authenticity of the medical report prompted discreet investigations by the Command.
According to him, those investigations later revealed that the claims contained in the medical document were false.
Following this discovery, the Police arrested the medical doctor whose name appeared on the report. During interrogation, the doctor allegedly confessed that the entire medical report was fabricated.
The Police said the doctor admitted that the document was a ruse prepared at the direction of Adetoun Onajobi during a phone conversation between them, a conversation which was allegedly facilitated by the blogger’s lawyer.
Consequent upon this revelation, the doctor was arraigned before an Ogun State Magistrates’ Court, where he is currently facing charges of conspiracy, uttering a false document, and obstructing the course of justice.
Meanwhile, the Police Command said Adetoun Onajobi has remained evasive and has consistently rebuffed every invitation extended to her by the Police. Her current whereabouts, according to the Command, are unknown.
“The suspect has continued to evade arrest, and all efforts to secure her voluntary appearance have so far proved abortive,” the statement said.
Despite the situation, the Ogun State Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing the law without fear or favour.
DSP Babaseyi noted that the Command remains resolute in tackling all forms of crime brought to its attention, whether violent, white-collar, or digital in nature, while also ensuring full respect for the constitutional rights of all persons involved.
The Police, however, emphasised that while freedom of expression is guaranteed under the Constitution, such rights are not absolute.
“Constitutionally protected activities such as free speech have lawful limits and do not grant immunity from criminal conduct,” the Command stated.
The Police further disclosed that investigations are ongoing and that other suspects connected to the alleged dissemination of false information are currently being trailed.
The Command accused Onajobi of deliberately deploying false information in a bid to obstruct police investigations and undermine the administration of justice.
In addition, the Police said that having reneged on her prior undertaking to honour police invitations, the Command would exhaust all lawful means available to apprehend Adetoun Onajobi and produce her before the Federal High Court to answer to the six-count charge already filed against her.
“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 added.
