The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
has arrested popular blogger, Mr. Abubakar Sidiqu
Usman, otherwise known as Abusidiqu, over a
recent report he published against the Chairman of
the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.
Friends of the blogger who reached out to The
PUNCH said he was arrested by EFCC operatives
early on Monday morning.
Confirming the arrest, the EFCC spokesman, Mr.
Wilson Uwujaren, said the blogger was arrested for
cyber stalking.
In a statement, Uwujaren said, “The EFCC today
arrested Mr. Abubakar Sidiq Usman, a blogger, for
offences bordering on cyber stalking.
“The suspect who is the publisher of
Abusidiqu.com was picked up at his Kubwa, Abuja
home in the early hours of Monday August 8, 2016
by operatives of the EFCC and is currently being
questioned over the alleged offence which
contravenes sections of the Cyber Crime Act.
“The suspect has already been offered
administrative bail and would be released to his
elected sureties.”
Cyber stalking is defined as the repeated use of
electronic communications to harass or frighten
someone by sending threatening emails or
spreading false messages online.
Usman’s blog, Abusidiqu.com, published a report
titled, ‘EFCC boss, Magu, commences total war
with core EFCC staff’ on August 2, 2016.
The report stated that members of staff at the EFCC
were complaining that they were being bullied by
Magu.
It accused Magu of corruption, and of being jittery
about the delay in his confirmation by the Senate
