Federal High Court in Lagos has summoned former Brila FM employee Babafemi Raji, known as Topmost Striker, in a N100 million fraud case filed by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
Mr Raji is charged alongside two former staff members of the station, Akakan Sam and Blessing Ekerete.
All three were scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday, December 4, but only Sam and Ekerete appeared before the court.
Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa directed the court registrar to issue a summons compelling Raji to attend the next hearing, following his repeated absence.
At a previous sitting in November, the court ordered that all defendants be tried in absentia.
In the charge marked FHC/L/530/2025, counts one to four accuse the three defendants of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering.
The fifth count, which names Raji alone, alleges that he used Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube and X to bully, threaten and harass Brila FM founder Larry Izamoje.
The charge states that the conduct placed Mr Izamoje in fear of death, violence, or bodily harm, citing Section 24(2)(3)(a & b) of the Cybercrimes Act.
Justice Lewis-Allagoa adjourned the matter to January 30, 2026.
Babafemi Raji resigned from Brila FM in 2024 after 16 years and nine months with the organisation.
His resignation letter, dated May 27, 2024, stated that he was leaving to pursue another opportunity.
He shared the letter publicly and said he was willing to assist with training his replacement and completing ongoing projects.
