 Ondo AG: State Not Criminalizing Free Speech


Ondo State’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, has refuted claims that the state government is suppressing free speech. In a statement issued in Akure on Thursday, Ajulo clarified that the government is only upholding existing laws against cyber harassment, blackmail, and misinformation.


He emphasized that while free speech is a fundamental right, it is not absolute and does not protect against defamation or false accusations. Ajulo cited the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015, a federal law that addresses cyber-related offenses, including cyberstalking and harassment.


Ajulo stressed that Ondo State is not enacting new laws but ensuring compliance with national regulations. He also highlighted the state's commitment to public legal education through initiatives like the Citizens’ Rights Advisory Bureau (CRAB).


The attorney general warned against the misuse of digital platforms, stating that cyberbullying threatens personal reputations, governance, and social harmony. He reaffirmed Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s stance that citizens are free to express opinions and criticize leaders but must do so responsibly and within legal boundaries.


Ajulo concluded by stating that enforcing cybercrime laws is about maintaining integrity in public discourse, not silencing dissent, and that Ondo State remains committed to free speech with accountability.
