Ruth Ogunleye Case: Calls for Her Release After Cyberbullying Conviction
A statement calls for former Nigerian soldier Ruth Ogunleye to be released and her cyberbullying conviction overturned. It says she was arrested and transferred to Kaduna after posting TikTok videos about a Nigerian Defence Academy commandant, and alleges that her earlier sexual-harassment complaints against military superiors have not been properly addressed. The statement also raises concerns about her reported psychiatric institutionalisation and the handling of her case by the police and courts. It argues that cybercrime laws are being used to intimidate people who speak out. I am concerned that the questions raised by Ogunleye’s original allegations remain unresolved. Her case calls for a transparent and credible process, the statement argues.
