The Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has stated that directing curses at individuals online constitutes a criminal offense punishable under the law.

Adejobi explained that such behavior amounts to cyberbullying, which cannot be justified as freedom of expression or constructive criticism.


He emphasized this in a statement, writing: “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.”

Reacting, a tweep said, “@felabayomi: When does raining curses become a crime? I look forward to the day someone will challenge these law they are using to take away peoples human right in the supreme court. Late Gani Fawehinmi would have challenged that law by now.”

@DistinctFOJ contested, “Olumuyiwa, assuming your narrative is valid, Section 1(3) of the CFRN state that if any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this constitution, this constitution shall prevail.

Freedom of expression is nonnegotiable. Raining curses is Constitutional.”

@omoopee_ agreed with the FPRO, “You are absolutely right sir, raining curses and engaging in cyberbullying is not freedom of expression but an act of harm. We must all learn to express ourselves responsibly. That said, sir, please, you are yet to respond to my question.”

It’s only my tribe that’s ordained to shut the entire south west up and they’ll without foaming through the mouth, south east should stay clear.

We’re the masters of south west, they’re our slaves. Only south east is giving us trouble, they’re not obedient like our slaves, they refuse to worship us, can you imagine a dot 5 states. We won’t stop until we conquer it just like we conquered south west and they started licking our feet’s

Ok

Alright. "The elements of weather shall judge you, Mr FPRO". See, I am not raining a curse, I am just wishing you consequences of your actions in good English.

Seriously,we play too much in this country! If I say Mr PRO you are "mental" and you start your madness tomorrow, how can you prove I made you run mad. Since I did not have bodily with you in person or your properties

The message is clear.Don't rain curses on the police again

Them don Dey try all their best to curtain the social media because of their evil deeds. They don’t want someone to curse them or their family once they did something wrong. It shall not be well with una.

If you get money now, Japa and leave their useless Corntree

Raining curses on a person in real life, is it also a criminal offence?

Will the land of Rituals still be able to abuse igbos?
