The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested a 33-year-old man identified as Aliyu Musa, aka Imam Mahdi over a Tiktok video.
According to the police, the content creator described some stakeholders as unjust without any evidence.
Mahdi is a resident of Kwacham Ward in the Mubi South Local Government Area, with the Tiktok handle, @faty5076.
A statement signed by spokesman for the state police command for the police commissioner, Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, on Monday said the abusive language used by Mahdi was with the intention to demean prominent personalities and leaders in the state.
He said, "The content portrays the young man's assertions of claiming some Adamawa stakeholders are unjust thereby abusing them in an immoral manner which he doesn't have any evidence to substantiate his assertions and that may not only tarnish their image but will also lead to breakdown of law and order, due to their sensitive responsibilities as public office holders in Adamawa in particular and Nigeria in General.
"The Command unequivocally condemns such acts in the strongest terms and vowed to deal with anyone who is bent in violeting the laws of the land.
"Preliminary investigations so far reveal that the abusive language was done with the intention to demean the reputation of the prominent personalities and leaders in the state. This cruel and violent manner will lead to breakdown of law and order. It is imperative to employ proactive measures to guide and counsel social media handlers to be wary of their posts to avoid violating the laws that defined and regulate social media policies.
"Sequel to the above, the Command emphasizes the importance of implementing & sensitizing members of the public to guard & protect their utterances that are capable of threatening the peace of the public.
The Command remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining law and order."
