Concerned Christian Youths (CCY) takes responsibility for the arrest of individuals accused of cyberbullying and attacking Christian leaders in Nigeria. The group clarifies that the arrests were initiated by them and not an Abuja-based cleric as falsely reported in some media.
A Christian group, Concerned Christian Youths (CCY), has claimed responsibility for the arrest and detention of individuals for cyberbullying and attacks on Christian leaders in Nigeria . The Nigeria Police previously invited a former pastor-turned-atheist, Abraham Daniel, and another person for using their social media platforms to troll some clerics. Some media outlets falsely attributed the arrest to an Abuja-based cleric.
In a statement, CCY coordinator James Paul Adama confirmed they initiated the petition that led to the police investigation. Adama stated the group is behind the arrests and invoked cybercrime laws against the perpetrators, who they identified as cyber bullies attacking the Christian faith and its leaders. CCY expressed concern that these attacks target Christianity and its prominent figures, noting that many Nigerian content creators exploit the mockery of Christianity and Christian leaders for their online content
