The Nigeria Police has recently confirmed that an individual by the name of Chude Franklin Nnamdi, who goes by the Twitter handle “@chude__,” was arrested on March 18th, 2023 in Onitsha, Anambra State. Nnamdi is currently being investigated by the Nigeria Police Force National Cyber Crime Centre (NPF-NCCC) in Abuja for cyberstalking.
The investigation comes as a result of a petition received by the police regarding Nnamdi’s activities on social media, which allegedly contravene the provisions of Section 24 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 and other criminal laws.
According to reports, a prima facie case has been established against Nnamdi, and the case file has been forwarded to the Force Legal Department for further action.
Cyberstalking is a serious offense that can have devastating effects on the victim’s mental and emotional well-being. It is a criminal act that involves the use of the internet or other electronic means to harass, intimidate, or threaten someone.
The Nigeria Police is taking this matter seriously and is committed to ensuring that justice is served.
The investigation is ongoing, and the police urge the public to come forward with any information that may be relevant to the case. Cyberstalking is a growing concern in today’s digital age, and it is important for individuals to be aware of the consequences of their actions online.
The police encourage everyone to use the internet responsibly and to report any instances of cyberstalking or other cybercrimes to the appropriate authorities.
