Imo Journalist Granted ₦2M Bail After Cyberbullying Allegations
Imo journalist, Ogbonna, granted ₦2 million bail after 30 days in police custody for alleged cyberbullying. The presiding Magistrate Uzoechi set the bail conditions, including a surety with a landed property within the court's jurisdiction.
Ogbonna faces charges related to defaming a Special Adviser to the Imo State Governor. The case was adjourned to October 3, 2025.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) demanded the release of a viral video showing the poor state of Kangiwa General Hospital. The ADC accused the Kebbi State Government of attempting to suppress accountability journalism.
The arrest was criticized as an attack on press freedom, urging the police to uphold the law without political interference.
