A judge just ordered the cops to go fetch a no-show preacher. The Federal High Court in Osogbo told prosecution lawyer J.O Oyetunji to produce Islamic cleric Jamiu Adegunwa and his son, Isa. The pair skipped their recent hearing over libel allegations. Justice Adefunmilola Demi-Ajayi instructed using all legal methods to secure their arrest and court appearance.
Oyetunji stated the defendants missed their arranged date despite proper notification. They face charges under the Cybercrimes Act for online statements against a man named Yusuf Adepoju. The prosecution warned that the cleric and his son would be declared wanted if they avoid court again.
The case involves one count of publishing material that injured the complainant's dignity. The alleged smears caused reputational damage, according to the charge sheet. The court has scheduled a future hearing date for this matter.
