In a statement released on Monday via the state government’s official X handle, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, said the matter stemmed from events that followed a road accident involving Nigerian-born British boxing star, Anthony Joshua, in Ogun State in December 2025.
According to the Attorney General, Onajobi published a series of online videos in which she alleged that Ogun State had no functioning emergency ambulance service and accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of abandoning public welfare. She further claimed that the governor was outside the country, engaging in personal activities instead of responding to the incident.
Ogungbade dismissed the allegations as false and misleading, stressing that the state operates multiple emergency response and ambulance services across different locations. He warned that such claims could endanger public safety by discouraging residents from seeking available medical assistance.
Following the viral videos, the state petitioned the police, citing alleged violations of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015. The police subsequently invited Onajobi on January 2, 2026, requesting her appearance on January 5, an invitation she allegedly failed to honour.
The statement noted that despite publicly claiming to possess evidence to back her allegations, the activist neither submitted any proof to the authorities nor appeared before investigators, but instead allegedly went underground.
While evading arrest, the activist reportedly released another video claiming she was ill and unable to respond to the police’s invitation. Her legal representative later forwarded a medical report to the police, purportedly issued by a Lagos-based doctor to justify her absence.
However, investigations reportedly revealed that the medical document was fabricated. According to the Attorney General, the doctor involved admitted that he never examined or treated Onajobi and that the report was forged.
He was subsequently arrested, charged, and remanded for alleged fraudulent medical documentation and obstruction of justice.
Ogungbade said Onajobi remains at large, questioning why someone who claimed to have strong evidence failed to present it through lawful channels and instead resorted to what he described as deception.
The statement also referenced past allegations against the activist, including claims that she previously harassed a woman in Lagos and unlawfully shared images of the woman’s underage child on social media.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State Police Command had earlier confirmed that Onajobi was invited based on a formal petition relating to her online statements against Governor Abiodun, noting that the invitation was strictly to aid ongoing investigations.
