Event Summary

An Nigeria — Ekiti State Magistrate Court in Ado-Ekiti revoked the bail of Abimbola Jumoke Olawumi, a former Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, on July 28, 2026, after she failed to appear for a hearing in a cyberbullying case. Olawumi faces charges of blackmail, cyberbullying, and death threats against Yemisi Joluwe, CEO of YSJ Limited.
