Abdullateef Fowewe
The Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has stated that raining curses on individuals online constitutes a criminal offence punishable under the law.
In a post on X (formally Twitter) on Friday, the FPRO clarified that such behaviour amounts to cyberbullying, which cannot be justified as freedom of expression or constructive criticism.
He wrote, “Raining direct curses on someone online is cyber bullying, not expression of freedom or criticism.
“And cyberbullying, which is even different from defamation, is a criminal offence and punishable. Be guided.”
