The Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that raining curses on people online constitutes cyberbullying and is a punishable offence.

Adejobi stated this in a post on X on Friday, Dec. 20.

He wrote, "Raining direct curses on someone online is cyberbullying, not expression of freedom or criticism.

"And cyberbullying, which is even different from defamation, is a criminal offence and punishable. Be guided."

X users took to the comments to disagree with him.

One X user shared a tweet made by Adejobi himself in 2022 where he said that "mere words of mouth do not constitute any offense."

Police declare online insults as cyberbullying, lawyer challenges claim

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has stated that hurling insults online constitutes cyberbullying, cautioning against such actions under the guise of free speech.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police spokesperson, clarified that online insults are not protected as free expression. He warned that cyberbullying is a punishable offense, distinct from defamation.


“Raining direct curses on someone online is cyberbullying, not an expression of freedom or criticism,” Adejobi wrote. “Cyberbullying, which differs from defamation, is a criminal offense and punishable. Be guided.”



Adejobi further explained that defamation could be criminal or civil, noting that Nigeria’s laws allow for prosecution or redress in court. He highlighted provisions in the Cybercrimes (Prohibition and Prevention) Act 2015 that address various forms of cyberbullying, including spreading lies, sharing embarrassing content, and sending abusive or threatening messages via digital platforms.

Inibehe Effiong challenges

In response, human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong challenged the police spokesperson’s interpretation of the law, dismissing it as baseless.

“This is ignorance of the law raised to power 1000,” Effiong said. “The fact that this very ridiculous opinion is from the spokesperson of the primary law enforcement agency in Nigeria says a lot about the decadence of our institutions.”

Effiong argued that cursing someone online does not constitute a criminal offense under Nigerian law. He referenced Section 36(12) of the Nigerian Constitution, which stipulates that for an act to be considered a crime, it must be explicitly defined as such in written law.

“Curses, such as telling someone ‘it shall not be well with you,’ are essentially prayers—whether positive or negative. The law does not concern itself with trifling or spiritual matters,” Effiong added.

He urged the police to avoid misleading statements, emphasizing that cyberbullying laws must be interpreted within the boundaries of constitutional provisions.


The debate has sparked discussions about the interpretation of cybercrime laws and the boundaries of free speech in the digital age.

But this is becoming too much, especially online. Just be careful, there are many criminal charges they could bring against you.
Including disorderly conducts, breach of peace, inciting hatred / violence, cyber bullying, etc.
don’t go tempting the boundaries of the laws all in the name strong head.

It’s not worth the headache.

You can't arrest for freedom of speech if you agree as a law enforcement body that freedom of speech is everyone's fundamental right including the police'.

Freedom of speech is the right to express ideas and opinions without fear of censorship, retaliation, or legal action. It applies to all kinds of ideas, including those that may be offensive.

It only become a crime where it violate the rights of others, advocates hatred, and incites discrimination or violence.

Offense plenty

Silence dissidents.

Wahala

Dem go arrest tire

“APC come APC turn tyrants! Una come turn dictator! Well 2027 is coming. My own be say, Nigerian youths una don see where country de go. You’ve seen where the country is going to. Very soon they go talk say we no fit sh**t 2 times a day, they go tell us how many times we fit sh**t or how many times we fit chop” - VDM

There was something VDM said about Peter Obi. He said he supported PO not because PO will necessarily be the messiah, but because if he’s president, he will listen to criticism and people can bring him to order if he goes wrong because they elected him. I agree with VDM on this.

VDM is pain in their neckless necks.

True.

Its curse, not insult.

When a Nuisance becomes the Celebrity/Activist of some people, just know say people IQ don reduce small.
