 Court Orders Remand of Austin Okai Over Cyberstalking, Defamation of Kogi Governor


A Magistrate Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, has ordered the remand of Austin Okai over allegations of cyberstalking and criminal defamation against Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.


The Department of State Services (DSS) sought the courtā€™s approval to detain Okai while investigations continue, citing Nigeriaā€™s Criminal Justice System, which mandates court authorization for detention beyond 48 hours.


Delivering the ruling on Friday, Magistrate Mobah Abdullahi of Chief Magistrate Court 1, Lugard Court, Lokoja, granted the request, ordering Okaiā€™s remand at the Federal Correctional Center, Kabba. The case was adjourned to March 13, 2025.


Case Background

Okai, a former PDP candidate for Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency in the 2023 elections, is facing trial over a social media post in which he accused Governor Ododo of misappropriating billions of naira allocated to Local Government Councils and state agencies.


The courtā€™s decision ensures Okai remains in custody while investigations continue.
