Why Bayo Onanuga Must Apologize and Face Investigation for His False Allegations

The Presidency is urged to distance itself from Bayo Onanuga’s recent tweet about Martins Vincent Otse. His claim has been proven false and undermines the right to free speech. Onanuga once stood against military rule but now defends a widely criticized government. The post cites landmark rulings on freedom of expression, including Redmond Bate v DPP and Arthur Nwankwo v State. It argues that Onanuga’s tweets may breach sections 24 and 26 of the Cybercrimes Act, covering defamation and xenophobic hate speech. It calls on the Tinubu administration to sanction Onanuga appropriately, enforce accountability for spreading misinformation, and allow civil redress by the aggrieved party.
