The Lagos State Police Command said it arrested two females identified as Dorcas Adeyinka and Folake Adekoya, and a male, Sikiru Ayinde, for alleged cyberstalking and threat to life.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, made this known via a statement posted on his X handle, on Saturday.
“Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested the trio of Dorcas Adeyinka ‘f’, Sikiru Ayinde ‘m’ and Folake Adekoya ‘f’ following numerous petitions from different persons bordering on cyberstalking, cyberbullying, alleged abduction, threat to life and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
“The police, having conducted preliminary investigations and establishing these cases against the suspects, arrested the suspects for a consolidation and harmonisation of the investigations for possible prosecution.
“To get adequate time for the conclusion of ongoing investigation, the Police have approached a court of competent jurisdiction and got a remand order for the suspects till January 10, 2024,” the state PPRO tweeted.
