In light of the increasing prevalence of careless and sarcastic remarks on social media platforms, Adejobi emphasized the importance of refraining from making statements that cannot be substantiated.
He highlighted the potential legal consequences, pointing out the provisions of the Cybercrime Prohibition Act of 2015.

Adejobi stressed the gravity of the situation, urging individuals to exercise caution and discretion in their online interactions. He emphasized that the police are committed to identifying and prosecuting offenders, emphasizing that no one will be spared regardless of their status or influence.
Upholding Legal Accountability
The Nigerian Police Force is resolute in its mission to enforce accountability in the digital sphere. Adejobi’s warning serves as a reminder that freedom of expression does not absolve individuals from legal responsibility. In an era where online activities can have real-world consequences, it is imperative to exercise prudence and responsibility when engaging on social media platforms.
Conclusion: A Call for Responsible Online Behavior
As Nigerians navigate the complexities of the digital landscape, Adejobi’s message resonates as a call for responsible online behavior. By refraining from making unsubstantiated claims or engaging in harmful online activities, individuals can contribute to a safer and more constructive digital environment. Let us heed this warning and uphold the principles of accountability and integrity in our online interactions.
