A former senator representing Kaduna Central has warned against the misuse of social media.
He cautioned individuals using derogatory language on social media to always be prepared to defend their actions in a court of law.
On Sunday, Senator Sani wrote on his verified Facebook page:
“If you are using social media these days, just keep a lawyer close to you or make sure that you have evidence for anything you post or comment on.
If you have to call someone a b*s*a*d or call a lady a prostitute, just make sure you have the evidence to prove your claim.
“The number of people taken to court for libel or defamation is growing nowadays. And the lawyers will charge you so high before making an appearance in your defense. A stitch in time saves nine.”
