Popular Ibadan-based broadcater, Oriyomi Hamzat was arrested after a warrant was secured from the court, the Nigeria Police Force has said.
OYOINSIGHT.COM had earlier reported that Oriyomi, founder of Agidigbo FM, was arrested by the Federal Intelligence Bureau of the Police Force.
In a statement on Thursday evening, the Force Public Relations Officer in Abuja, Muyiwa Adejobi, noted that he was arrested after he ignored multiple invitations sent to him.
The statement read: “The popular Ibadan-based broadcaster, Oriyomi Hamzat, was arrested in ibadan today by our Force Intelligence Bureau operatives in connection with a case of Cyber Bullying under investigation.
“Oriyomi’s arrest was sequel to his refusal to honour Police invitation severally, which prompted the police to secure a warrant for his arrest.
“We are looking into the petition written against him on his violation of the Cyber Crime Act, 2015, and necessary action will be taken to do justice in the matter.”
