A Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday remanded a man, Paul Jibrin Oweleke, in custody after he was arraigned by the Department of State Services (DSS) on allegations of inciting the military to overthrow the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Oweleke was arraigned before Justice Akintoye Aluko on a two-count charge bordering on alleged cybercrime offences, including making subversive broadcasts and transmitting messages said to threaten the President and undermine public order.
According to the charge, the defendant allegedly used his social media platform, “Oweleke TV,” to disseminate messages calling for a military coup to remove President Tinubu and replicate the political situation in Burkina Faso through unconstitutional means.
