SM blogger Webkid Afrika arrested

While details are scarce about the reason for SoAfrican's arrest, a good number of bloggers and social media personalities have been getting into trouble with the law in recent weeks over the publication of false news.

On May 12, reports emerged that Webkid Afrika, a blogger known for his affiliation with the Shatta Movement, dancehall superstar Shatta Wale's group of dedicated fans, was arrested over false allegations against Stonebwoy.

According to reports, the SM blogger was allegedly contracted by a former aggrieved social media manager of Stonebwoy's to post derogatory captions and misleading information about his former employer's family on X, formerly Twitter.

Police reportedly charged Webkid Afrika with two criminal counts: publication of false news and offensive conduct conducive to a breach of peace.

According to reports, investigations into the case remained ongoing to identify and arrest other accomplices linked to the alleged crime.
