Harrison Friday, a lance corporal of the Nigerian Army who
has been supporting citizens calling for an end to harassment and brutality by
the police, , has been charged with cybercrime.
In the last 13 days, some citizens across the country have
taken to the streets to call for a reformation of the police.
The protesters have vowed not to leave the streets until
their demands are met.
In lending his voice to the protests, Friday had recorded a video where he appealed to his colleagues not to take orders that would harm citizens.

“My advice goes to every fellow soldier, you guys should not
be fooled or used, we are the youths. The fight of every civilian is our
fight,” the lance corporal said in a video where he masked himself.
“My advice goes to the new people in the system, I’m talking
about 19 and 20 NA. For this struggle they will deploy you. I’m hearing rumours
that want to deploy some soldiers to scare the protesters. Remember, if you
people are deployed, if you take an unlawful order and your fire and you fire a
civilian, people you are firing – remember the bullet may go and hit your
brother or your sister.
“Remember that the fighting that these people are fighting
is our fight. If Nigeria is ok, nobody will fly out of the country. Soldiers
have run away from this job, some to Dubai, seeking for greener pastures.
“If every soldier is well paid, every civilian is well paid.
Nobody will leave the country.”
However, the army said Friday has been hiding “behind the
mask to commit cyber crimes.”
In a tweet on Wednesday, the army said the soldier’s arrest is part of operation ‘ Crocodile Smile.’

Nigerians commenting on the tweet expressed outrage.
Do they actually know the meaning of "Cyber Crime" ?

The strength and glory of any military anywhere is in their defence of the sovereignty of a nation and defence of lives and properties of the citizens. Honestly, Nigerian armed forces have lost the confidence and support of the people. God almighty will punish the leadership sure
