The Nigeria Police Force has declared a journalist, Tega Samson Oghenedoro, popularly known as Fejiro Oliver, wanted over allegations of cyberstalking and defamatory publications allegedly made through his Facebook account. The declaration was contained in a Special Police Gazette Bulletin issued under the authority of the Inspector-General of Police and circulated by the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Delta State Police Command, Asaba.
According to the police bulletin, Oghenedoro is being wanted in connection with alleged cyberstalking and defamatory publications allegedly posted on a Facebook account bearing the name "Fejiro Oliver." The police alleged that the offences were committed on the Facebook platform between May and July 2025, within the period of 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight. The bulletin, which was also published as an advertorial on page 45 of Vanguard Newspaper on Friday, August 8, 2026, described Oghenedoro as a 38-year-old Urhobo man and identified him as an "acclaimed journalist."
The police listed his physical characteristics as being approximately 1.6 metres tall, of medium build, with an oval face, copper complexion, thick hair, a small mouth, thin lips, an upturned nose and a round chin. The bulletin listed his last known address as Cyrus Excel Estate, Abuja, while identifying Lagos and Abuja as locations he was known to frequent. In the wanted notice, the police appealed to members of the public to assist in locating him. "Anyone who sees him should please arrest and hand him over to the nearest police station or report immediately to the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), The Nigeria Police State Headquarters, Okpanam Road, Asaba, Delta State," the bulletin read.
The declaration follows an ongoing police investigation into the alleged offences. Under Nigerian law, a declaration of wanted status does not constitute proof of guilt, and Oghenedoro remains presumed innocent unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction finds otherwise. The development has drawn attention to the continued use of cybercrime legislation against journalists in Nigeria, with press freedom advocates expressing concern over the increasing reliance on the Cybercrimes Act to target media practitioners. Oliver, who is also the publisher of Secrets Reporters, had previously been invited by the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre for questioning over allegations of espionage and had been involved in other legal battles with the police over his reporting.
