BREAKING: Court Remands UK-Based Blogger Maureen Badejo In Kirikiri Prison Over Alleged Cyberstalking, Defamation Of MFM Pastor, Denies Her Bail

The Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Friday ordered the remand of UK-based Nigerian blogger, Maureen Badejo, has been, at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre after she was arraigned on multiple counts bordering on alleged cyberstalking and defamation.

Justice Akintayo Aluko gave the order after Badejo was brought before the court by the Nigeria Police Force on a four-count charge filed in the name of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

According to the charge sheet dated February 25, 2026, the defendant and others still at large were accused of publishing allegedly false and defamatory content through a podcast on her GIO TV Media platform using a Facebook account.

The prosecution alleged that the publication targeted Pastor Ajose Sola, a regional pastor of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) in the Igando Parish.

In the first count, the police alleged that Badejo made a podcast in which she claimed that the cleric “is involved in several diabolical practices like carrying sacrifices and engaging Sunday Oyelakin to do diabolical activities for him.

The prosecution said the defendant allegedly knew the information was false but disseminated it to millions of viewers on the internet, an action the police said was capable of causing a breakdown of law and order and posing a threat to life.

In the second count, Badejo was accused of publishing another podcast in which she alleged that the pastor was having an affair with the wife of a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) living in the same estate.

The police maintained that the statement was knowingly false and intended to cause public disorder.

In the third count, the prosecution alleged that Badejo published another podcast claiming that the MFM pastor buried a live cow and ram behind his compound for satanic purposes and was using juju to control members of the church.

The charge further alleged that the defendant described the pastor as a “babalawo” who allegedly manipulates members of the congregation through diabolical means.

In the fourth count, Badejo was accused of posting a publication questioning why the pastor allegedly performed rituals and used “black medicine” while selling “manna water” to church members, referencing spiritual practices associated with MFM.

The police said the publication suggested the cleric used ritual practices instead of genuine religious teachings.

According to the prosecution, the alleged offences contravene Section 24(1)(b) and are punishable under Section 24(2)(ii) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act as amended in 2024.

A day of reckoning has come. Since she's so sure, she should just simply prove it in court. I know the OP as one of her mouth piece, I hope you will go to court to defend her.

Bloggers and content creators need to thread with caution. Abuse of social media isn't legitimate.
The allegations against the Pastor are grave and numerous.
Let her prove them.

Bukky Jesse is another one.

I don't know how these guys do it. They will claim they have all the evidence but will never reveal it.

They will keep talking and talking and talking for months until they look for another victim to destroy with fake gist.

Meanwhile their own lives are either nasty or empty with nothing tangible to show.

She ll rot in jail

End of her uk journey

Social media have landed this woman in trouble.

Why did they deny her bail

These people that just open their mouths and slander people, yet you want to get away with it?

Enjoy your watery beans madam.

Remaining that Doris Ogala or whatever she calls herself. That her kponmo mouth go soon tear with slaps

Wahala go just sitdown...you go carry your hand go wake am up!

15 months later, has Dele Farotimi proved his innocence in the defamation case against Afe Babalola?

Meanwhile he still has the ogboju to be sanctimonious

She used her own hands to dig a pit for herself

Apcshit:

She is UK based.

Meaning you could run and never come back.

Maureen from the pit of hell, 40 yrs jail minimum will not be out of place for slandering a man of God.

Apcshit:

Probably she hasn't fulfilled the bail conditions. Doubt that the court will deny her bail.. I stand to be corrected

Lukuluku69:

She was granted bail during the first arraignment. This is her second arraignment.. different charges

Dont slander people,you will not hear

He who alleges have the burden to provide proof.

Excessive use of your freedom of speech can culminate in the termination of your freedom after the speech

This case is very easy. Just release the receipts you always brag about having. Case closed.

All bailable offenses, there's no need remanding her at all

Maureen badejo Never provide any evidence yet. She will be made the scapegoat here.

she has no evidence. She's just a clueless blackmailer

She posted some proofs earlier
However, defamation is a civil case which doesn't warrant being remanded in prison before a sentence is passed.

You're quite right about bloggers, but in this case, she has not been sued. She's only being bullied cos if she's sued and presents the proofs as she claims (she posted some in the past), kasala will burst!

If she had been providing proof all these years , she would not be where she is now.

It seems like you do not know these nasty scum of human beings.

Hahaha chaii she go hear ween.
Na ontop YouTube dey get mouth.
Bad mouth pastors anyhow.

Baba fall and die no go let this one go until she catapult and kpai 😂

wetin she go do in Nigeria?

I will expect Sowore to show full solidarity for her by spending the time in the prison with her.
After all, he was making noise of the social media concerning this case especially mentioning Olukoya who presumably knows nothing about the case.
