O Lawd I've seen it all and I'm so happy seeing this. Cyber stalking now under EFCC jurisdiction? I don't really know the job of the police any more in this contraption called Nigeria.
DSS our SECRET police now arrest house members trying to impeach a corrupt governor and protect pipelines, the Army has taken over the work of the police as a normal Nigerian now prefers to go report a crime to them instead of the police and leading them to go attempt to disarm people who have taken self defense to heart resulting in unnecessary casualties on their side and many other things strange happenings.
Where did we get it wrong? Well I'm happy the guy affected is a Buharist and one of the supporters of the removal of the rule of law. I only wished they drilled him very well in that cell so next time someone shouts change, be would first ask what kinda change !! gringrin

Proper Reasoning has deserted a lot of people especially the wailing zombies because of hatred for PMB.
Are we saying because someone is a pro-govt blogger, he shouldn't be held accountable if he engages in cyber crime activities? Allowing that will amount to allowing impunity just because he is pro-govt and it's same all of us that will later complain of executive indifference.

I bet many don't even care to know that the Cyber Crime Act was signed into law by GEJ and two bloggers have previously been held and charged as a result.

We won't know the specific offence yet but cyber offences could be financial or economic in nature. We have to wait to find out.

President Buhari and Co. will do well to learn the rudiments of politics. You don't pick a fight with every 'perceived enemy'. I cannot comprehend the poor strategy Mr. President and his team have adopted towards dealing with dissent on various occasions. Crude and confrontational. These days even Hollywood offers strategy Mr. President's advisers will do well to learn:

Falco: "I have been told of a certain sea snake which has a very unusual method of attracting its prey. It will lie at the bottom of the ocean as if wounded. Then its enemies will approach, and yet it will lie quite still. And then its enemies will take little bites of it, and yet it remains still."

Commodus: "So, we will lie still, and let our enemies come to us AND NIBBLE......."

In summary, "He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious"....Sun Tsu

the efcc accused him of stalking, so it's something in the region of assault and battery, guess it's as a result of his article on the efcc chairman, but I think he(efcc or magu) should have sent a petition to the responsible quarters. let's wait and see, but if it's just cyber stalking, I refuse to accept that the arrest is justified, it's more of a case of warning.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Cyberstalking, simply put, is online stalking. It has been defined as the use of technology, particularly the Internet, to harass someone. Common characteristics include false accusations, monitoring, threats, identity theft, and data destruction or manipulation. Cyberstalking also includes exploitation of minors, be it sexual or otherwise.

The harassment can take on many forms, but the common denominator is that it's unwanted, often obsessive, and usually illegal. Cyberstalkers use email, instant messages, phone calls, and other communication devices to stalk, whether it takes the form of sexual harassment, inappropriate contact, or just plain annoying attention to your life and your family's activities.

Clearly it is illegal ... but there is need for more details
