The Nigerian Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, recently addressed the issue of cyberbullying, emphasizing that sending direct curses or "prayers" to someone online is a criminal offense. He clarified that such actions are not merely expressions of freedom or criticism, but rather constitute cyberbullying, which is distinct from defamation. Adejobi warned that cyberbullying is punishable under Nigerian law, urging people to be mindful of their online conduct.
The statement has sparked a wide range of reactions on social media. Some users questioned the legality of such laws, with one Twitter user, Felix Olusola Abayomi, expressing concern over potential violations of human rights.
