Ogun, in a suit marked FHC/L/CS/1739/25, which he shared on his Facebook page on Friday, alleged that Sanwo-Olu blocked him in 2021 following his “constructive criticisms” and persistent calls for accountability over the October 2020 #EndSARS protests and killings.

He argued that the governor’s action has denied him access to important updates about government activities in Lagos, limiting his right as a citizen to receive information freely.

“Blocking me on X has cut me off from official information and governance updates, which I believe is a breach of my right to access information without interference,” he stated.

In his summons, Ogun asked the court to declare the governor’s decision unconstitutional, arbitrary, and discriminatory, insisting that an elected public officer should not shut citizens out of public information channels.

The case is expected to test the balance between citizens’ digital rights and the conduct of public officials on social media.
