The witness informed the court that upon the defendant’s handover to the DSS custody by the Nigeria Army Intelligence Defence Corp., he obtained his extrajudicial statement.

He claimed that Crack freely provided his statement and that information was taken from his phone, including images he shared on his Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, and TikTok accounts after receiving them from soldiers who expressed concern for their well-being.

These accounts’ pages were offered as exhibits and accepted.

However, the defendant’s attorney opposed to the defendant’s phone and flash drive being tendered because they claimed they were not given access to its contents.

Crack was sued by the DSS as the only defendant in the charge FHC/ABJ/CR/253/2026 for suspected cybercrime offenses connected to a widely shared film about the Nigerian Army.

It was claimed that Mark published items that may incite civil disorder and disseminated misleading information.

The defendant was detained by the Nigerian Army after it was alleged that he had posted the viral video and related remarks on his X handle, @JusticeCrack, claiming that Nigerian soldiers were not being adequately fed.Forum for Insecurity Solutions
