The Nigerian senate is working towards passing into law a bill which ensures posters of false information online would be jailed for two years. Abusive people aren't exempted as well.
The bill affects any person who makes allegation or publishes any statement or petition in the newspaper, radio or medium of whatever description against another person, institutions of government or any public office holder. It passed second reading in the Senate, yesterday.
The bill also prescribed that anybody or group of persons who send any false text message or post false message on the social media against another person shall be jailed for two years upon conviction by the law court.
