Re:Nigerian jailed in UAE over violation of cyber crime law

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission hereby gives more clarification on the case of a Nigerian lady, Ms Dunchi Lar who was convicted under United Arab Emirates laws for recording and circulating "offensive" video on Social media.

Under the UAE cyber crime law, taking a video or photograph of someone without his/her consent and posting such on social media is an offence punishable with one year jail term or a fine of between approximately $69,000 and $137,000 or both jail term and fine.

Ms Lar made and tweeted the viral video of the UAE official at the Airport.

This law also applies to eavesdropping, recording, photographing, or disclosing audio or video communication of a person without his/her permission, taking photographs or videos of a dead person or accident victim without such person’s consent.

She was sentenced on the 12th of October and has 15 days to appeal the judgment.

Ms Dunchi Lar can still appeal the ruling and has been assured of moral and consular support by the Nigerian Mission in Dubai.

Nigerians will always be the problem of Nigeria. Foolish cultists with no future will be spoiling opportunities for those sane Nigerians with future. Thank God I am above 30

Interesting

What if she is an American, will she be jailed ?

The simple truth is that the world have lost respect for Nigerians under buhari.

She is a hero and her government must treat her like one.

"She can still appeal If she wants " the government spokesperson said this trash ...

SM is the bane of the modern society.

Unnecessary traveling had never been my thing, where there is lawlessness, there is enough freedom just limited. Nigeria still better for me rn.

Damn!

$69,000 or 138,000 option of fine. Or even jail term + fine!

That's enough deterrent to not misbehave.

When in Rome... behave like Romans. Arabian countries wouldn't condone some behaviour accepted in Nigeria.

Arabs are virulently racist towards Blacks. They feel we are inferior and people rushing there as if it's Heaven reinforces their low perception of Africans. Crime... Cultism doesn't help too.

Nigeria MUST be fixed. There's no choice.

I am wondering: Can't Nigerians in Diaspora Commission recommend to the Federal Government to reciprocate the treatment by running a check on all UAE citizens resident in Nigeria in respect of offences, however minor, and charge them to court for sentencing to jail term, without option of fine.

Hit a number of business interests of UAE in Nigeria with sanctions.

Suspend all flights operation of Emirates Airlines in Nigeria till further notice.

There must be something that the Federal Government of Nigeria can do to put political pressure on the UAE.

UAE is trying to be legally uncivil and we can reciprocate same.

NIDCOM is run by mo--rons. If the girl were an American, would these troglodytes dare touch her?

This was how abike treated itunu.
God forbid if she dies in their jail.

They have lost respect for us ,thanks to buhari.
Tinubu will make it worst.


The Nigerians needs Peter obi
