The Ogun
state police command has confirmed the arrest of SF Emmanuel Ojo, a blogger,
for allegedly publishing a Facebook post ( at the moment his fb account is
down) where he accused Mrs Oufunsho Amosun, wife of the Governor of allegedly
laundering $300,000 in London. Ojo did a story a while back, alleging that the
wife of the Ogun State governor was quizzed in London for money laundering, a
story the state government has described as false.
Muyiwa Adejobi, Ogun state police command public relations
officer said the police command received
a complaint from the state government over what they termed a false
publication.
He said Emmanuel is currently being detained at the command’s headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, for questioning.
“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.” he told Vanguard.
