A 31-year old man, Wasiu Ogunnoiki is facing charges before a Magistrate’s Court in Sagamu, Ogun State simply because he allegedly posted some negative remarks about the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, on his Facebook wall.
Ogunnoiki had accused the state governor, in a posting on his Facebook wall, that Amosun had demolished people’s houses without compensating them accordingly.
The government denied Ogunnoiki’s claim, saying the allegation was unacceptable since it could incite residents of the state against the governor and his administration.
Apart from this, the accused allegedly published the photograph of the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Sagamu Local Government, Femi Felix Kafar, on his Facebook wall, saying that he had planned with the Labour Party to fire Amosun from office before the 2015 general elections.
He pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge read out to him and the Chief Magistrate, Mr O.O. Ojo granted him bail in the sum of N400,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Ojo adjourned the case till 5th December.
