CITAD Urges Nigerian Government to Protect Activists, End Politicisation of Cybercrime Laws
The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has warned that Nigeria’s cybercrime laws are increasingly being misused to target activists, journalists, and whistleblowers. In its statement marking the 2025 International Anti-Corruption Day, the organisation said digital spaces are now vulnerable to corruption, surveillance abuse, and political manipulation. CITAD called for stronger digital accountability, protection of civic freedoms, full implementation of the FOI Act, and better safeguards for online critics and whistleblowers. It stressed that Nigeria cannot effectively fight corruption without securing its digital civic space.
