Bloggers Apologise For False Reports Against Mrs Aderemi Adeleye




The Editors of News Connect Online and Clip Tv Online, Mr. Elias Abayomi Adagunduro and Mr Abraham Adaranijo respectively, have apologised to Mrs Aderemi Olaleye for online publications against her.

Adagunduro and Adaranijo acknowledged that the reports, disseminated through News Connect Online, Clip TV, and Fortress News, were false.

The apologies were contained in separate affidavits of facts and apology sworn by Adagunduro and Adaranijo at the High Court of Lagos State, Judicial Division, on Friday, March 3, 2025.

These followed a legal action taken by Mrs. Olaleye, who sued Adagunduro, Adaranijo and other journalists for cyberbullying and threats to her life.




In the affidavit, Adagunduro and Adaranijo admitted that several publications against Mrs. Olaleye, including one released in February 2025, were untrue.

"We published content on News Connect Online, Clip TV, and Fortress News, including photographs of Mrs Olaleye, her home, her children, their names, her house address, and the grave of her late sister.

"We also published data and pictures of Pastor Adenike Lamai and her children," Adagunduro and Adaranijo stated.

They further revealed that the information used in the publications was primarily provided by Mr. Femi Olaleye, the estranged husband of Mrs. Olaleye, who they said engaged them to make malicious publications to smear his estranged wife to fuel his own narrative and sway public opinion and hate against her.

"The allegations made in our reports against Mrs Aderemi Olaleye were false, baseless, and unwarranted," they admitted.

Adagunduro and Adaranijo acknowledged that the publications were misleading and regretted their impact on Mrs. Olaleye’s reputation.

"We deeply regret publishing false information that tarnished the reputation of Mrs Aderemi Olaleye.

"That we further undertake to delete and take down all these publications and henceforth, undertake not to personally or through my proxies publish any articles or publications about her, her family, children, her home or anything that concerns her.

"That this is made for official and record purposes and to notify any authority concerned.

"That we make this affidavits in good faith consciencentiously and in accordance with the oath law of Lagos State 2015," they stated.
