Raining Curses On Someone Online Is Criminal Offence, Police Force PRO Says

The Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that raining curses on people online constitutes cyberbullying and is a punishable offence.

Adejobi stated this in a post on X on Friday, Dec. 20.

He wrote, "Raining direct curses on someone online is cyberbullying, not expression of freedom or criticism.

"And cyberbullying, which is even different from defamation, is a criminal offence and punishable. Be guided." 

X users took to the comments to disagree with him.

One X user shared a tweet made by Adejobi himself in 2022 where he said that "mere words of mouth do not constitute any offense."
