The Ogun State Government has confirmed the remand in prison of a medical doctor for allegedly issuing a fake medical report to help a popular blogger, Adetoun Onajobi, also known as @justadetoun, evade police arrest.

The doctor has since been arrested and charged for fraudulent medical documentation and obstruction of justice, while investigations continue to identify other accomplices, as Adetoun remained at large.

The State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Oluwashina Ogungbade in a statement, said that Police investigations later revealed that the medical report was fraudulent, as the doctor who authored it allegedly confessed that he never met, examined or treated Adetoun, contrary to the claims in the report.

Mr Ogungbade also made it known that the Ogun State Police Command has filed a six-count charge against the blogger, who is currently on the run, following a petition lodged against her.

He explained that Adetoun, an internet personality, had over the years been accused of bullying, harassment and using offensive language against individuals on social media platforms.

According to him, the matter escalated following an accident involving boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, in Ogun State, when Adetoun allegedly posted videos claiming 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.

He described the allegations as false, malicious and misleading, stressing that Ogun State operates several state-owned and state-supported ambulance services.

The State Attorney-General who noted that such claims posed a public safety risk by misinforming residents about available healthcare services, stated that , government consequently reported Adetoun to the Police for alleged violations of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015.

Mr Ogungbade said that the Police reportedly invited her for questioning on January 5, 2026, after issuing a formal notice on January 2, and she failed to honour the invitation and allegedly went into hiding, despite earlier boasting that she had evidence to substantiate her claims.

He further said that while in hiding, Adetoun reportedly released another video claiming she was ill and unable to report to the Police, and subsequently, her lawyer submitted a letter to the Police, attaching a medical report from a Lagos-based doctor, stating that she was medically indisposed.

Mr Ogungbade also alleged that Adetoun had previously bullied a woman sweeping an estate in Lagos and unlawfully filmed and shared images of the woman’s underage child on social media.
