The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has officially filed charges against popular whistleblower, Isaac Bristol, identified as PIDOM Nigeria on X.com.
The case, which has since sparked a controversy about freedom of speech and government transparency, advanced as PIDOM was brought before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
After 28 days in police custody, PIDOM, a 41-year-old resident of Port Harcourt, now faces a nine-count charge that primarily revolves around his alleged activities on X.com.
Key among the allegations brought by the police is the charge that PIDOM “transmitted an alleged classified document of the Federal Government of Nigeria” via the X handle @Pidomnigeria.
The prosecution claims that Bristol knowingly sent false messages with the intent of causing a breakdown of law and order.
One specific instance cited in the court documents involves a post about a substantial sum of money allegedly released to the NAHCON Chairman through the office of Vice President Shettima.
