It is disgraceful that the Force PRO has been alluding to a law that no longer exist in Nigeria.

The provisions of the infamous Section 24 of the Cybercrimes (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2015 that the police has been using to harass Nigerians has been repealed by the National Assembly and replaced with a radically different and new provision.

The amended Act was assented to by President Tinubu in February 2024.

Under the new Act, posts which are injurious to a person’s reputation is no longer a crime. The new Act limits the offence of cyberstalking to messages sent by means of a computer which are:

(a) pornographic;

(b) a threat to the life of another; or

(c) likely to lead to a breakdown of law and order.

In this specific case, the post made by this individual is neither pornographic, life threatening nor capable of leading to a breakdown of law and order.

By virtue of Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution, an act or omission is only an offence if it so defined expressly in a written law.

Nigerians should ignore the Force PRO.

Schooling the law enforcers on their own jobs.

What then do police officers learn in their lectures and seminars?

Lol …same police said they are now patrolling the kaduna and abuja rail track with helicopters to prevent another terrorist attack. The price of a military helicopter plus services that follow it is in millions of dollar while drones with cameras are sold for less than $500 and mass production can get it to you for less than $100 and it is very efficient security wide and can secure the whole country with a back up solar technology..this always brings up the question of is Nigeria cursed with bad leaders or are Nigerians the problem? IBB, Abacha, OBJ, GEJ had teams with many technocrats who were able to make some difference but Tinubu like buhari just assembled a team of almost stark illiterates policy wise, without experience who do not know what they are doing with the exception of one or two like tunji Ojo . The rest are just there from party and tribal affiliations. Shettima confessed like everyone knows they had no plans for Nigeria but went and copied Obi and Atiku plans hoping it would work lol …that reminds me of back in the days when we were writing GSCE waec exams one of the invigillators caught a boy copying from a girl. She read aloud what the boy copied . The cheating dullard wrote same essay verbatim the girl wrote on “why I like being a girl” everyone burst into laughter. The cheating boy dullard reminds me of tinubu and the fact shettima admitted they copied instead of originality allegorized similar case about the tinubu questionable academic background and the question on everyone’s lips “how did we get here “..?

Your concern should be whether the guy is saying the right thing or not. You're actually borrowing words from the police: "oga na you wan teach us our work?"

Stop this slavery mentality because the Nigerian police today is nothing to write home about

Are you in support of the police bullying it's citizens illegally without due process?

Do you want to give credence to those asking of we are in a banana Republic, where there is no rule of law? Is this how you support and want Nigeria to grow?

If your brain can't comprehend something, don't call it nonsense.

It is okay if you have low IQ but you should not advertise it.

I will beg Netizens to be careful of all these laws , the Act might have been repealed but what of Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015, specifically Section 57 says Provoking Breach of Peace by Offensive Publication etc. Kindly check the Law to avoid being caught unaware.
