In a dramatic twist that's gripping social media, outspoken activist Adetoun Onajobi, better known as Just Adetoun, remains defiant after Ogun State Police filed a six-count cyberbullying charge against her on January 19, 2026. The charges, pending at the Federal High Court in Abeokuta, accuse her of spreading false information and harassing Governor Dapo Abiodun via online platforms.
The controversy erupted following a tragic road accident involving boxer Anthony Joshua on December 29, 2025, which claimed two lives. In viral videos, Adetoun claimed Ogun State had no functional ambulance service and accused the governor of partying in Ghana while neglecting public welfare.
State officials countered that an expanded ambulance fleet exists, dismissing her claims as misinformation. They also revealed a doctor was remanded for allegedly forging a medical report to help Adetoun evade police summons.
Undeterred, Adetoun fired back in fiery post-charge videos, declaring: “Dapo, you said you would send me to prison, it seems you don’t know me. Those who sent you clearly didn’t inform you that they can’t. I am Adetoun Onajobi; you can’t drag with me.” She accused the governor of arrogance, intolerance to criticism, and hiding behind cybercrime laws to silence dissent.
Adetoun insists she's not evading justice but has filed a fundamental rights suit, framing her actions as legitimate advocacy. Meanwhile, the incident highlights growing tensions between online critics and state authorities in Nigeria.
As the case unfolds, many wonder: Is this accountability for falsehoods or a clampdown on free speech? The drama continues to unfold.
