Saturday, June 21, 2025 - The two suspects who were arrested by the Delta State Police Command after they were filmed smoking what is suspected to be marijuana while sitting on a police patrol van have been charged with cyberbullying and cyberstalking.
This was disclosed in a statement shared by the Delta State
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, on X (formerly Twitter) on
Friday, June 20.
The suspects, Patrick Junior Asini, 34, and Tega Ojo, 20,
were arraigned before the Oghara High Court on a three-count charge bordering
on cyberbullying and cyberstalking, contrary to Sections 24 and 27 of the
Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, among other charges.
They have since been remanded at the Sapele Custodial
Centre.
The statement said, “The two suspects have been charged to
the Oghara High Court and presently remanded at Sapele prisons on a three-count
charge of count 1-Cyberbullying, Cyber Stalking contrary to sections 24&27
of the Cybercrime Prohibition Act amongst other charges.”
The suspects were arrested after a video showed them smoking
while sitting on a police patrol van marked “Nigeria Police Force Anti-crime
Patrol, Oghara Division.”
As they smoked, the men made obscene gestures at law
enforcement officers.
A voice in the background of the video was heard saying,
“Tell them, f**k the cops, bro. Pass me some weed, man,” while flashing his
middle finger towards an officer in the distance.
