 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 court’s decision ensures Okai remains in custody while investigations continue.
