The Ogun state government says a medical doctor has been remanded in custody over the alleged forgery of a medical report for Adetoun Onajobi, an activist.
Onajobi, popularly known as “Just Adetoun”, was recently
charged to court by the Ogun police command over allegations of cyberbullying
Dapo Abiodun, governor of the state.
BACKGROUND
In a series of social media videos, Onajobi criticised the
administration of Abiodun, particularly on the quality of the medical emergency
response provided to Anthony Joshua, former world heavyweight boxing champion,
immediately after the December 29, 2025, accident.
Earlier on Monday, the Ogun police said the activist was
invited for an interview on January 2, 2026, to answer questions pertaining to
the allegations of cyberbullying.
Babaseyi Oluseyi, police spokesperson in Ogun, said Onajobi
failed to honour the invitation and, through her lawyer, wrote to the police
that she was “medically indisposed”.
According to Oluseyi, a medical report was presented to
support the claim.
The medical doctor who issued the report was later arrested
by the police and arraigned at the magistrate's court for “conspiracy, uttering a
false document, and obstructing the course of justice”.
Oluseyi said the police filed a six-count charge at the
federal high court in Abeokuta, Ogun state capital, against the activist over
allegations of cyberbullying.
‘MEDICAL DOCTOR INVOLVED REMANDED’
In a statement, Oluwasina Ogungbade, Ogun state
attorney-general and commissioner for justice, said the medical doctor has been
remanded for “fraudulent medical documentation and obstruction of justice”.
Ogungbade also dismissed as false and malicious claims by
Onajobi that there are no ambulances in Ogun and that the governor was partying
in Ghana.
“The controversy escalated after boxing champion Anthony
Joshua was involved in an accident in Ogun state,” the statement reads.
“Adetoun allegedly posted videos claiming that there was no
ambulance service anywhere in the state and further accused Governor Dapo
Abiodun of being in Ghana partying and impregnating women instead of attending
to the boxer’s welfare.
“As a result, the state reported Adetoun to the police for
alleged violations of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015.
“The police reportedly invited her for questioning on
January 5, 2026, after issuing a notice on January 2. However, she failed to
appear and allegedly went into hiding, despite earlier boasting that she had
evidence to substantiate her claims.
“Even while in hiding, she reportedly released another video
claiming she was ill and unable to honour the police invitation. Subsequently,
her lawyer submitted a letter to the police attaching a medical report from a
Lagos-based doctor, stating that she was medically indisposed.
“Police investigations later revealed that the medical
report was fraudulent. The doctor who authored it allegedly confessed that he
never met, examined, treated, or revived Adetoun, contrary to the claims in the
report.
“The doctor has since been arrested, charged, and remanded
for fraudulent medical documentation and obstruction of justice, while
investigations continue to identify other accomplices. Adetoun remains at
large.”
