All that is irrelevant. What is relevant is the law. Anyone, blogger or not, is allowed freedom of speech and expression. The only time a blogger should be arrested is if he wrote something that compromises national or state security. No blogger should be arrested for insulting anyone, misinformation or even for defamation.
No sir
He committed a criminal offence.
It's called cyberstalking under the Cybercrime (prohibition, Prevention etc) ACT 2015
He will go to jail if prosecuted

I checked it out. It says:


Cyberstalking-
Any person who knowingly or intentionally sends a message or other matter by means of computer systems or network that -
(a) is grossly offensive, pornographic or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character or causes any such message or matter to be so sent; or
(b) he knows to be false, for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, ill will or needless anxiety to another or causes such a message to be sent:
commits an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of not more than N7,000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of not more than 3 years or to both such fine and imprisonment.
(2) Any person who knowingly or intentionally transmits or causes the transmission of any communication through a computer system or network -
(a) to bully, threaten or harass another person, where such communication places another person in fear of death, violence or bodily harm or to another person;
Cyberstalking.

Containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to harm the person of another, any demand or request for a ransom for the release of any kidnapped person, to extort from any person, firm, association or corporation, any money or other thing of value; or
(c) containing any threat to harm the property or reputation of the addressee or of another or the reputation of a deceased person or any threat to accuse the addressee or any other person of a crime, to extort from any person, firm, association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value:
commits an offence under this Act and shall be liable on conviction-
(i) in the case of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection to imprisonment for a term of 10 years and/or a minimum fine of N25,000,000.00; and
(ii) in the case of paragraph (c) and (d) of this subsection, to imprisonment for a term of 5 years and/or a minimum fine of N15,000,000.00.
(3) A court sentencing or otherwise dealing with a person convicted of an offence under subsections (1) and (2) may also make an order, which may, for the purpose of protecting the victim or victims of the offence, or any other person mentioned in the order, from further conduct which-
(a) amounts to harassment; or
(b) will cause fear of violence, death or bodily harm; prohibit the defendant from doing anything described/specified in the order.
(4) A defendant who does anything which he is prohibited from doing by an order under this section, commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of not more than N10,000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of not more than 3 years or to both such fine and imprisonment.
(5) The order made under subsection (3) of this section may have effect for a specified period or until further order and the defendant or any other person mentioned in the order may apply to the court which made the order for it to be varied or discharged by a further order.
(6) Notwithstanding the powers of the court under subsections (3) and (5), the court may make an interim order for the protection of victim(s) from further exposure to the alleged offences.


As can be seen, the emboldened "send" at the start totally defeats the purpose of using this law against bloggers. A person cannot be cyberstalked on a blogging website. Cyberstalking is when one party sends unsolicited, vile and offensive matter to another from one computer network to another. Since bloggers only deal on one computer network ( their blogging page) this law cannot be used against them since they do not have direct 'cyber-contact' with whoever they are blogging about

Good.
We are making progress. At least you now agree with me that there is a crime called cyberstalking and is punishable.
All bloggers sends their links to Facebook, Twitter whatapp, some send to individual emails and some gets to Nairaland.
The action word here is "send" it did not specifies that it must be sent to the complainiant before it becomes an offence. These will make bloggers a victim of this law.
Hope we've all learnt something new.

Nigerian Journalists, Law Enforcement, Soldiers, Customs/Border Agents, Lawyers, Judges and Civil Servants are amongst the most unprofessional and uncultured sets of beings I have ever encountered anywhere in the world.
