Court remands FIJ journalist over reports on Buhari’s ex-aide

The Federal High Court in Abuja has remanded Foundation for Investigative Journalism correspondent Daniel Ojukwu at the Kuje Correctional Centre over cyberstalking charges arising from his investigative reports on former presidential aide, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire. The court ordered his remand until December 1, 2026, for the hearing of his bail application.

Ojukwu pleaded not guilty to the 12-count charge, with former Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, as the complainant. The charge sheet alleges that Ojukwu and FIJ Founder, Fisayo Soyombo, committed cyberstalking and transmitted threatening communications to Orelope-Adefulire, placing her in fear of death, violence, or bodily harm.
