The EFCC has issued a statement explaining why it arrested Abubakar Usman, a pro-APC blogger.
According to EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, Mr. Usman was arrested for alleged cyberstalking.
The statement said Mr. Usman was picked from his Abuja home in Kubwa on Monday morning and is currently being quizzed by EFCC operatives.
EFCC said Mr. Usman’s activities contradicted sections of the Cyber Crime Act, but that he had been granted administrative bail and would be released after successfully providing sureties.
The statement, was, however, silent on the specific sections of the Cyber Crime Act Mr. Usman breached.
Mr. Usman's arrest had sparked outrage on Social Media, with the “FreeAbusidiq” hashtag trending on Twitter for most of the day.
