Court grants Ekiti APC aspirant bail, adjourns blackmail case

An Ekiti State Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ado Ekiti District, on Thursday, adjourned a case against an All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Ekiti State, Abimbola Olawumi, till July 28.

The Chief Magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun, who granted bail for Olawumi on self-recognition as a senior citizen, said, “The matter is hereby adjourned till July 28, 2026 for hearing.”

The police had dragged Olawumi to court on four charges bordering on alleged blackmail, bullying and threatening messages on social media to the Chief Executive Officer of YSJ Farms, Mrs Yemisi Joluwe, and two others.

The Police Legal Officer, Samson Osobu, in the charges, stated that “You, Abimbola Olajumoke Olawumi, did knowingly and intentionally bring false accusation against Mrs Yemisi Samuel Joluwe when you state that she has embezzled Ekiti State government money, without any justification for your statement, thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 106 of Criminal Law of Ekiti State
