Former Special Adviser on Education under the administration of a former governor of Osun, Adegboyega Oyetola, Jamiu Olawumi and a leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Adebayo Adedeji, have dragged Governor Ademola Adeleke’s aide, Wale Bolorunduro and the Inspector General of Police to the Federal High Court, Osogbo, Osun State, over an alleged threat to life.

The duo in suit number FHC/OS/CS/106/2025 joined one Inspector Nancy with Bolorunduro, who had served as Finance Commissioner under Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and is currently the Chairman of Living Trust Mortgage Bank under Governor Ademola Adeleke.

In the suit filed on May 22nd, 2025, Olawumi and Adedeji noted that their fundamental rights were infringed upon by the respondents’ serial police invitations between the 12, 13, 14, and 15 days of May 2025 and to this day over allegations of cyberstalking without providing any proof of evidence to substantiate, which constitutes a threat to life, harassment, and intimidation.

They stated that the action contravened Sections 33, 34, 35, 37, 41, and 46 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, praying the court to declare that such action was illegal, null, and void.

They sought four reliefs as they prayed to the court to order respondents to pay the sum of N5 million to applicants for the false allegation with the intent to traumatise and defame them.

They also demanded an order directing the respondents to pay N6 million and tender a public apology to them for the psychological, emotional and mental torture of both the applicants and their family members as a result of their frequent harassment, intimidation, defamation, and infraction on the right to dignity and privacy of the applicants, occasioning an illegal and unconstitutional violation of their fundamental rights.
