Policemen from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), led by Deputy Inspector General of Police, Jonathan Towuru, on December 4, 2025, stormed the Abuja office of investigative journalist, Mr Tega Oghenedoro, popularly known as Fejiro Oliver, in a renewed attempt to arrest him.
Reports state that the officers said they were acting on a court-issued warrant for Mr Oghenedoro’s arrest. However, they were unable to execute the arrest as he was not in the office at the time.
Speaking with Daily Post, Mr Oghenedoro said he has been living in fear since returning to Abuja and intends to present himself at the Police Headquarters the following day.
On December 4, 2025, Mr Oghenedoro appeared at the Federal High Court, Asaba Division, Delta State, over two defamation cases filed by the police on behalf of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Senator Ede Dafinone, before the same judge. On December 3, 2025, he had also appeared before a Delta State court, where he faced Magistrate Patricia Onyeisi Okoh over a separate defamation suit brought by Stella Okotete, a politician whose ministerial nomination had been rejected by the Senate following petitions from a group of lawyers alleging certificate forgery.
