Police in Adamawa State arrest 31-year-old Buriba Israel in connection with alleged cyberbullying and criminal intimidation of First-Class Chief Hamman Bachama, Daniel Samaila. The Adamawa State Police Command says the arrest follows allegations that the suspect used social media to harass a traditional ruler, and it reports that it issues the relevant details in a statement by its spokesman.
Both outlets describe the accusation as tied to the suspect’s Facebook account, which they say he used to bully first-class chiefs of the Numan Federation. The reports also say the case involves allegations of criminal intimidation and the circulation of offensive and unverified claims directed at traditional rulers. The Punch adds that the police condemn the use of social media in connection with the alleged conduct, while the second outlet focuses more on the specific platform and the nature of the posts described in the allegations.
