Blogger declared wanted for ‘murder’ never shunned police invitations, says lawyer

Pelumi Olajengbesi, counsel to Dorcas Adeyinka, a blogger declared wanted by the police, says his client has never ignored invitations from law enforcement.Adeyinka wanted for alleged murder, cyber-stalking, abduction, murder, injurious falsehood, threat to life and extortion.

In a statement issued on Monday, Olajengbesi faulted the notice from the police, adding that the matter is in court.“While we acknowledge that this issue originated from a shameful social media dispute involving certain individuals, we are surprised by the extent of attention it has garnered from the Nigeria Police Force,” the statement reads.

“It is crucial to note that this is not the first instance of our client being unfairly targeted. In December of last year, similar unfounded charges were levied against her only to be struck out by the court due to lack of evidence. “Therefore, the proclamation of her being wanted, especially when her availability was evident, and she was in a public event just yesterday May 11, 2024 where she was decorated, suggests either a misguidance within the Nigeria Police Force or an unauthorised access to their official channels to make such a derogatory statement. This appears to trivialise the crucial role of the Police.
