Nigerian Police Detain Lagos-Based Journalist Nurudeen Adenekan Over Cyberbullying Allegations Lagos-based journalist, lecturer, and media consultant Nurudeen Adenekan was forcibly taken from his home in Agege at midnight by Nigerian police operatives claiming to be from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Alagbon, in an operation described as resembling an abduction. The arrest, confirmed by SaharaReporters on June 11, 2025, was based on allegations of cyberbullying, though the police provided no specific reason for Adenekan’s detention to his wife during the operation. This incident follows a pattern of arrests targeting journalists and critics, with a similar case involving human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi in December 2024. #softnigeria
