Read the funny reason EFCC gave for arresting blogger
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed why it arrested popular blogger, Abubakar Sidiq Usman.
The anti-graft agency said the blogger was arrested for offences bordering on ‘cyber stalking’.
The publisher of Abusidiqu.com was picked up at his Kubwa, Abuja home in the early hours of Monday August 8, 2016 by operatives of the EFCC and is currently being questioned over the alleged offence which contravenes sections of the Cyber Crime Act, EFCC said on its official website.
The commission added that Sidiq has already been offered administrative bail and would be released to his elected sureties.
It is being widely reported that the blogger was arrested for allegedly posting a damning revelation about EFCC on his blog abusidiqu.com.
Sidiq had reported on his blog that regular members of staff at the EFCC were complaining that they are being bullied by the acting chairman of the commission, Ibrahim Magu.
The blogger had reported also that DSS arrested one Air Commodore Umar Muhammed, accused of carrying out a blackmailing cartel on behalf of senior staff at EFCC and Office of the National Security Adviser.
