Court Orders AGF to Take Over Cyber Stalking Case Against Alagbado of Agbado

Abeokuta, Ogun State – A Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta has directed the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) to take over the prosecution of a cyber stalking case involving the Alagbado of Agbado, Oba Adedayo Richard Shyllon.

The case, with charge number FHC/AB/79C/2025, was initially filed by the Commissioner of Police.

At the plea proceedings on Tuesday before Justice Abiodun Adeyemi, the 62-year-old monarch was present in court. The hearing was attended by counsel for the prosecution, Henry Obiazi (SP, OC Legal, Ogun State CIID), H. P. Ashasim representing the AGF, Adekunle Funmilayo for the defendant, and A. A. Ayodele, who held a watching brief for the complainant.

Commencing the proceedings, Justice Adeyemi informed the counsel that the court had received a letter from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in the Office of the AGF. The letter, dated September 16, 2025, formally requested to take over the case from the police, citing the powers conferred by Section 174 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Counsel for the AGF, H. P. Ashasim, confirmed that the letter had been served and acknowledged by the office of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) on the same date. He added that copies were also forwarded to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, and the Ogun State Police Command, Eleweran, Abeokuta.

After examining the submissions, Justice Adeyemi granted the AGF's application.

“That the application of the AGF to take over the matter is granted,” the judge ruled. “That the case of Commissioner of Police vs. Adedayo Richard Shyllon is hereby taken over by the AGF. And that the order be served on the IGP, AIG Zone 2, and Ogun State Police Commissioner for necessary action.”

With this ruling, the matter has been formally committed to the control of the Federal Ministry of Justice for further prosecution.
