NDC lawyer Victor Adawudu says speech-related prosecutions rarely go anywhere

”Rejecting the argument that the law criminalises free speech, Mr Adawudu said the rise of social media has fuelled abusive political commentary.“I think that whilst this law should be there to serve as a deterrent to others, people who say unprintable things, it is for the people to know that when I do anything which is misguided, unguided, or say unprintable words.”Responding to claims that the current administration has increasingly relied on the law, Mr Adawudu blamed what he described as “overzealous policemen” rather than deliberate government policy.
