A Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has ordered that the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) should take over the cyber stalking case instituted against the Alagbado of Agbado, Oba Adedayo Richard Shyllon.
A charge sheet signed by the registrar, R.A Ismail and made available to PLATFORM TIMES read that the case, filed by the Commissioner of Police with charge number FHC/AB/79C/2025, came up on Tuesday before Justice Abiodun Adeyemi for plea proceedings.
PLATFORM TIMES further reports that the defendant, Oba Shyllon, 62, was present in court as the matter was called.
During the proceedings, Justice Adeyemi informed counsel that the court had received a letter from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in the Office of the AGF, dated September 16, 2025.
The letter, in line with Section 174 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), requested that the AGF take over the case from the police.
Counsel representing the AGF, H. P. Ashasim, confirmed in court that the letter had been served and acknowledged by the office of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) on the same date.
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 reviewing the submissions, Justice Adeyemi granted the application of the AGF, formally transferring the prosecution from the police to the federal ministry.
The judge ruled: “That the application of the AGF to take over the matter is granted.
“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.”
Counsel present at the hearing included Henry Obiazi (SP, OC Legal, Ogun State CIID) for the prosecution, H. P. Ashasim for the AGF, Adekunle Funmilayo for the defendant, and A. A. Ayodele, who held a watching brief for the complainant.
The matter has now been officially placed under the control of the AGF’s office for further prosecution.
