The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has filed a lawsuit against President BOLA TINUBU’S administration and Nigeria’s 36 state governors at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja.

The suit challenges the alleged misuse of the Cybercrimes (Amendment) Act 2024 to suppress freedom of expression and violate human rights, particularly those of activists, journalists, bloggers, and social media users.

SERAP’s statement highlighted numerous instances of alleged misuse of the law to target individuals critical of the government.
