Akwa Ibom Police Launch Fresh Cybercrime Crackdown, Arrest Suspect for Defamation

Akwa Ibom Police Launch Fresh Cybercrime Crackdown, Arrest Suspect for Defamation

The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has intensified its fight against online offences. Authorities warn that anyone using social media to spread falsehoods, defame others or engage in cyberstalking will be traced and prosecuted. A suspect was recently arrested following a petition by a former senator over allegations of criminal defamation and cyberstalking. The police emphasise that investigations will be thorough, and suspects will face justice in court without influence from media trials or public pressure. The command urges all Nigerians to use social platforms responsibly. Every post should uphold truth, decency and respect for others’ rights and reputations. The police reaffirm their commitment to enforcing the law both online and offline.
