The Ogun State Police Command has filed a six-count cyberbullying charge against Activist Adetoun Onajobi, popularly known as Just Adetoun, declaring her evasive after repeatedly failing to honour police invitations.

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 Ogun State Government and to bully Governor Dapo Abiodun, contrary to the Cybercrimes Act.

In a statement issued on Monday and signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, Oluseyi Babaseyi, the command said 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.

Newsmen had earlier reported that the command confirmed inviting Onajobi following a petition over a series of videos she posted on her social media platforms 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 government 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”.
