TikTok content creator Oladimeji Hammed, popularly known as Immunizer, has regained his freedom after being granted bail following his arraignment for allegedly cyberbullying Omowunmi Aloba, the widow of late Afrobeats singer Mohbad. The influencer was released from Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos after perfecting his bail conditions.
Immunizer Speaks Out After Release
In a video circulating on social media, Immunizer confirmed that he had been released. He explained that he recorded the message using a friend's phone because police had seized his own device as evidence.
“So I just got out of prison tonight, Kirikiri, Lagos, and I am making this video from my guy's phone because my phone was taken away from me by the police at the station. They marked it as an exhibit,” Immunizer said.
The content creator recounted honouring a police invitation on June 22 after a petition was filed against him by a prominent figure linked to the Mohbad case. He said he was interrogated, detained, and then taken to court, where bail was granted immediately.
“As you all know, I honoured the police invitation on the 22nd of June, which was Monday. I got there, and they showed me a petition that a prominent name in the Mohbad case I talked about filed. As I saw the petition, I laughed. They interrogated me and detained me because they said they were taking me to court. They took me to court, the judge sat, and I was granted bail immediately,” Immunizer stated.
Bail Process Delays Led to Remand
Immunizer explained that mistakes made during the bail process led to his remand at Kirikiri Correctional Centre until the paperwork was perfected.
“But the person who was supposed to handle my bail got greedy, made some mistakes, and on Tuesday, I was remanded at Kirikiri prison. Wednesday, I was supposed to come out but then today, my bail was perfected, and I am out,” he said.
He promised to share more details after he is well rested.
Charges and Court Proceedings
Immunizer was arraigned on a six-count charge for allegedly cyberbullying Omowunmi Aloba. The charges included cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and publishing harmful and provocative content. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The case has drawn significant public attention, with many Nigerians closely following the legal battle.
Netizens React to Immunizer's Release
Social media users shared varied opinions regarding the content creator's ordeal and his ongoing legal battle. Some comments included:
- @bimbolbalogun: “Dey explain.....you go explain taya!!!!?”

Court Sets Date for Fresh Probe on Mohbad's Case
In a related development, the Federal High Court in Abuja set September 29 for judgment in a suit seeking a fresh investigation into Mohbad's death. Justice James Omotosho fixed the date after hearing arguments from the counsel representing the Break the Silence Foundation.
The organisation approached the court to compel the Nigeria Police Force to reopen investigations, arguing that previous efforts did not adequately address critical issues.
Immunizer's release marks a significant turn in the case, but legal proceedings are expected to continue as the court addresses the cyberbullying charges and the broader investigation into Mohbad's death.
