The Ogun State Police Command has filed a six-count cyberbullying charge against activist Adetoun Onajobi, popularly known as Just Adetoun, after she repeatedly failed to honour police invitations. The case is now pending before the Abeokuta Division of the Federal High Court.
According to the police, Onajobi allegedly 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 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 was first invited for questioning on January 2, 2026, but failed to appear. Through her lawyer, she claimed she was medically indisposed, submitting a medical report allegedly issued by a doctor.
Investigations by the police later revealed that the medical report was false. “Discreet investigations by the Police confirmed the falsity of the claims contained in the medical report,” the statement said. The doctor who issued the report was arrested and admitted that the document was fabricated at Onajobi’s instruction.
“The doctor subsequently admitted that the entire medical report was a ruse, crafted at the direction of the suspect, Adetoun Onajobi, during a phone conversation between them,” Babaseyi said. The doctor has since been arraigned before a magistrates’ court in Ogun State for conspiracy, uttering a false document, and obstructing the course of justice.
The police spokesperson said Onajobi has continued to evade all attempts to reach her. “The suspect, Adetoun Onajobi, has remained evasive and has rebuffed every invitation extended to her by the Police. Her current whereabouts are unknown,” he said.

Babaseyi added that the command would exhaust all lawful means to ensure her apprehension and presentation 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 emphasised that constitutionally protected freedom of expression has legal limits. “Constitutionally protected activities such as free speech have lawful limits and do not grant immunity from criminal conduct,” the statement said.
The charges follow a petition concerning a series of videos Onajobi posted on social media, in which she criticised Governor Abiodun’s handling of a December 2025 road accident involving Nigerian-born British boxer Anthony Joshua. In the videos, she accused the state government of abandoning victims, lacking functional ambulances, and prioritising parties and SUV purchases for local government chairmen over urgent public needs.
The police said investigations into the case are ongoing, with other individuals connected to the alleged dissemination of false information also being pursued.
