A Nigerian blogger has publicly admitted to publishing false and defamatory stories about Governor Soludo and his son. The blogger, identified as Ofoegbu, stated: "I publicly admit that the stories I published concerning Governor Soludo and his son were completely fake, false, fabricated, and untrue. They did not come from Governor Soludo, his son, his family, or any official representative."

According to court proceedings, prosecutors alleged that Ofoegbu created and published the fabricated reports to attract online traffic and generate financial gains. The blogger has been remanded in court custody in connection with the defamatory publications.

The case centers on deliberate misinformation distributed online about the governor and his family. The admission and court remand mark an escalation in the legal proceedings against the blogger for the false content.
