An Ekiti State Magistrate Court has granted bail to an All Progressives Congress (APC) member, Olubusoye Akinwale, who is standing trial over alleged cyberbullying and related offences instituted by a member representing Irepodun/Ifelodun II of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon. Hakeem Jamiu.

Akinwale, 40, was arraigned before the court on a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.

According to the charge sheet, the prosecution alleged that Akinwale and others still at large conspired on May 18, 2026, at Awo-Ekiti to publish videos on social media in which they repeatedly referred to Hon. Hakeem Jamiu as a "thief," an act the prosecution described as defamatory and capable of causing public uproar.
