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.

Bros what is the meaning of cyber stalking ?

Now, this is what I call 'contribution per excellence'.

'Yeebos' are the ones crying the most over the perceived failure of this government. I don't want to get banned, so, I'll limit myself to a few choice words...

Don't let me even bother!

cyber stalking now an economic and financial crime. nothing person no go see for this country
Re: EFCC Releases Statement On Arrest Of Abubakar Sidiq, Says He Is A Cyber Stalker by lionshare: 5:31am On Aug 09, 2016
Efcc goofed as always bug time on this one, newspapers are known to quote unknown sources to validate some of their stories all the time in Nigeria. So why arrest someone because ge wrote an article about you; that means the article is saying the truth.


This also implies that the likes of metuh, ffk e.tc, were merely arrested for their outspokenness on social media.

This is not only unfair but cruel, wicked and outrightly dictatorial. Even their primary assignment they have not been able to do it.

Useless attack dog organization!

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
Wouldn't every news agency fall into that category?

Ignorance !!

Zombism has blinded your sense of judgement..

Americans go as far as throwing eggs and tomatoes on their leader..

If the gworo monster and his agents or darkness should face what Obama is facing everyday online, they would have ran to Niger Republic by now..

Does this look like a crime under the purview of the EFCC? The best option the EFCC boss had was to sue Abu Sidiku to court if he felt maligned and stalked but instead he opted to illegally abducted him ..I will say it serves Abu Sidiku well but as an upright and fair citizen who will always stand for the truth I must say he was wronged

It can be if the stalking is done with the intent to extort money. .. EFCC is yet to say who he was stalking.

Bros have you travelled there before? Americans respect the office of the president so much but You need to see how Obama gets bashed timelessly by Americans who feel short changed!

On his twitter account though I don't know coz I don't follow him but do not forget who emboldened Nigerians to completely disregard, insult and ridicule the office of the president; APC. So they should also get ready to have a taste of the pudding they helped cook!b

in criminal matters, there is nothing like intent to commit crime, it can't stand the test of law, except the crime was committed and the person failed. Check the efcc act, or and of their charge sheet, you will noticed that it's always in the past tense form, meaning a criminal act was committed in financial or economic form, if it's for economic gain, the statement should involve EXTORTION.
I have no issues with the arrest if he committed a crime or suspected to have, but not by efcc, with this, they might start setting road blocks.

Voting for Buhari doesn't give you the alibi to commit crimes. The rule of law respects no one. If he's found wanting, let him face the full wrath of the law.

I just hope some wailers on nairaland would learn from this by guarding their comments & posts.
