The National Investigation Bureau (NIB) has arrested Lebabourow Yotire Danah after a series of alleged social media attacks and incitement linked to the recent conflict in Gbineyiri between the Brifo and Gonjas.
Danah was picked up at Senya Breku in the Central Region earlier today following intelligence-led operations.
Security sources say he had released several videos on social media that sought to inflame tempers and deepen divisions among the rival groups, further escalating tensions during the clashes.
The Bureau noted that his arrest forms part of a wider effort to curb the growing misuse of online platforms for incitement, cyberbullying, and spreading false or inflammatory information.
Danah is currently in custody assisting with investigations.
Authorities have assured the public that due process will be followed, while urging citizens, particularly the youth, to exercise restraint and avoid using social media to spread hate or provoke violence.
