NBA President: The Cybercrime Act is Being Used to Stifle Free Expression
Afam Osigwe, SAN, the president of the Nigerian Bar Association, has expressed worry over the purported abuse of the Cybercrimes Act to stifle free speech in Nigeria, calling it a willful suppression of expression disguised as a fight against defamation and cybercrime. Osigwe criticized what he called the "weaponization of the law against critics, journalists, activists, and regular citizens who voice dissent online or offline" in an interview on Wednesday's Prime Time show on ARISE Television.
