Doctor remanded over fake medical report linked to blogger Just Adetoun
A medical doctor has been remanded in prison custody for allegedly issuing a fake medical report to help a popular blogger, Adetoun Onajobi, also known as @justadetoun, evade police arrest.
Penpushing reports that the Ogun State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Oluwasina Ogungbade, made this known in a statement, adding that the police has filed a six-count charge against the blogger, who is currently on the run, following a complaint lodged against her by the state.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in the statement said Adetoun, an internet personality, has for years been accused of bullying, harassment, and using offensive language against individuals online.
Penpushing further reports that the controversy escalated after boxing champion Anthony Joshua was involved in an accident in Ogun State, and Adetoun allegedly posted videos claiming that there was no ambulance service anywhere in the state.
The blogger equally accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of being in Ghana partying and impregnating women instead of attending to the boxer’s welfare, a claim Ogungbade described as false, malicious, and misleading.
Penpushing also reports that he stressed that Ogun State Government has multiple state-owned and state-supported ambulance services, adding that the allegations posed a public safety risk by misinforming residents about available healthcare resources.
The statement emphasized that as a result, the state government reported Adetoun to the police for alleged violations of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015, and was reportedly invited for questioning on January 5, 2026.
Penpushing reports that the commissioner said after issuing a notice on January 2, 2026, the suspect, however, failed to appear and allegedly went into hiding, despite earlier boasting that she had evidence to substantiate her claims.
The statement stated that, even while in hiding, she reportedly released another video claiming she was ill and unable to honour the police invitation, while her lawyer subsequently, submitted a letter to the police attaching a medical report from a Lagos-based doctor, stating that she was medically indisposed.
Penpushing further reports that Ogungbade stated that police investigations later revealed that the medical report was fraudulent, and the doctor who authored it allegedly confessed that he never met, examined, treated, or revived Adetoun, contrary to the claims in the report.
The statement stated that 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.
Penpushing also reports that Ogungbade questioned why someone who claimed to possess evidence could not present it to law enforcement or publish it publicly, adding that forging medical records raises serious concerns about her credibility.
The statement further 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.
