Court remands disqualified Ekiti APC guber aspirant over alleged defamation

A Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti remanded disqualified APC governorship aspirant Abimbola Olajumoke in prison custody for one month due to allegations of defamation, cyberbullying, and kidnapping. The case was filed by the CEO of YSJ Agro-Allied Limited, Mrs. Yemisi Joluwe. Initially, the court granted Olajumoke bail but revoked it after she missed her next court appearance, leading to her arrest.

Joluwe filed the lawsuit to seek justice for the alleged damage to her reputation and the harm caused to her staff by Olajumoke's actions. She emphasized that the statements made by Olajumoke were false and intended to damage the company's reputation. Joluwe stated that the company's operations have not been affected by the case and that YSJ Farms remains focused on its agricultural mandate.

She also confirmed that YSJ Farms maintains strong partnerships with security agencies to ensure the safety of its staff and management. The case is now adjourned until September 15.
