ABEOKUTA—The Ogun State Police Command, Monday, confirmed the arrest of a blogger, Emmanuel Ojo for accusing the wife of the state governor, Mrs Olufunsho Amosun of allegedly laundering $300,000 in London.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the arrest on the telephone, said Ojo is being detained at the command’s headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, for questioning.
Vanguard gathered that Ojo was arrested for a story exposing the alleged quizzing of Ogun State first lady, Mrs Olufunso Amosun, in London for money laundering.
Ojo was said to have been trailed and arrested on Saturday and detained at Ibara Police Station, Abeokuta for wrongly accusing Mrs. Amosun.
She has since denied being involved in any money laundering saga.
Adejobi said the command received a complaint from the state government about the blogger, which led to his arrest.
Adejobi said investigations on the matter are ongoing.
He said, “We received a complaint from the state government on the suspect, and he was arrested. Presently he is with us at Eleweran, we are still conducting our investigations. If he is found wanting he will be charged to court accordingly.”
The Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Taiwo Adeoluwa, said governor Amosun, was not connected with the arrest of the blogger as being speculated in some quarters.
He, however, confirmed that the state government made a formal complaint to the police and the director of the State Security Service, about a false allegation that the blogger made against the First lady.

Nah dis one dey sweet dem useless police.

every news broadcasting agency has the power to make or destroy a person. Hope he can prove how true his story is

Hehe.. not err'one can be LindaIkeji... not when you are not a female
You will be arse-fried by the forces, .. and the law won't even save you.. I just wish they treat the female folks (feminists) this same way.. maybe we won't hear them rant 'feminism'

Sahara Reporters nko...

Oh!....

Aunty Linda, hope say u dey read?

Una leave yahoo boys dey arrest blogger, how u want make guys earn genuine foreign currency now?


Make una end am for their head sha, don't leave them to run after online traders.

Now bloggers will stop been desperate to post anything they like..

Hian!

This is a step in the right direction!

Just because the use of the internet is now virtually free does not mean jobless people can sit in their bedrooms and make up all sorts of stories because they want to direct traffic to their useless blogs.

Nigerians want accountability from their leaders but refuse to do the same in their own affairs.

Just the other day, a notorious illiterate on Nairaland opened a thread falsely accusing the APC of closing his Facebook accounts. In my opinion, he should have been invited by the security agents to provide evidence of his claim.

Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the constitution but also, individuals have to account for their statements if they are false.

Now, a precedent has been set. Hungry bloggers- BEWARE!

even if na true, she won't own up to it. the fear of buhari is the beginning of wisdom.

Okay!

Correct talk vivvypretty....let him defend is story

no mind dem

What if this blogger is right?
Should the police arrest a blogger for airing his/her views or make investigations?
Is this no longer democracy?

There has always been freedom of speech but freedom after the speech is what is not always guaranteed.

No smoke without fire. The blogger could be saying the truth but they want to silence him with intimidation

OYO

I think this is tending towards press censorship and attack on freedom of expression. However, I believe our courts can rise to the ocassion on this. Our democracy must work.
