A few hours ago, the Nigerian police paraded three detained men, allegedly the individuals behind the popular Instagram blog, Gistlover.
Reports indicate that the police apprehended these suspects following a petition filed by Hon and Doctor Mrs. Seye Oladejo. The detainees are implicated in a case involving conspiracy, cyberstalking, and endangering one’s life.
According to a statement from ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, the accused individuals are Adebukola Kolapo Nnedum, Micheal Somtomchukwu, and Isaac Akpokighe. They are allegedly part of the Gistlover family, a syndicate responsible for the daily operations of the Gistlover blog. The microblogging platform is known for activities such as "Cyberstalking, incitement, Blackmail, and sundry, which has over the years been a cause for public outcry."
However, shortly after the reported arrest of Gistlover's operators, the apparent real face behind the blog took to his page to ridicule the Nigerian police for parading individuals he claims are not associated with his platform.
