The Oyo State Police Command has arraigned two men, Prophet Moses Idowu and Dunmininu, over publications about the late Toluwanisings.
The command arrested the duo over offences bordering on the unlawful publication of false information, defamatory statements, indignity to a deceased human body and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
In a statement issued on Friday by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, Prophet Moses Idowu was arrested after visiting the morgue where the singer’s corpse was kept, claiming to possess spiritual powers to resurrect a deceased person.
The police claimed that Idowu recorded a video of the singer’s corpse and circulated the footage on social media without the consent of the family.
He had also made unsubstantiated allegations against the singer’s wife, Olayemi Elizabeth, and his manager, accusing them of being responsible for his death.
Idowu was arraigned on four counts bordering on unlawful recording and publication of false information, defamation, indignity to a deceased human body, and conduct likely to cause a breach of public space.
The court remanded him to the Correctional Centre and adjourned his case until December 2, 2026, for further proceedings.
Dunmininu, on his part, was arrested on Thursday, November 12, over alleged false defamatory publications on social media.
The online journalist circulated videos accusing the singer’s personal assistant and family members of being responsible for his death.
Dunmininu was arraigned on charges bordering on publishing false news on Facebook, unlawful publication of defamatory material, and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
His case was adjourned to December 11th.
