One Aliu Olalekan has been arrested for hacking into DSTV and watching channels free of charge.
In a press briefing on Monday, Director of the Nigeria Copyright Commission (NCC), Matthew Ojo said Aliu was arrested during an anti-piracy operation at his premises in Amukoko, Lagos.
He was apprehended for allegedly watching DSTV channels without subscription on his Android phone via an app which he downloaded on google play store.
“This suspect distributed the know-how to his telegram followers and on his blog with the aim of gaining more followers and viewership on his blog and makes more money through google ad-sense.
“The operation was based on surveillance which had earlier been carried out by the Multi-choice team and verified by a copyright inspector, ” he said.
The squad paraded his one-room apartment and recovered his laptop and phones used in perpetrating the ungodly act.
According to him, the suspect was contacted on phone by a member of the operation team on the disguise of patronising him.
“The suspect came out to meet the caller and in the process of discussion, he was apprehended.
“The suspect took the team to his resident.
“He was arrested and brought to the copyright commission office for further investigation, ” he said.
Ojo said that investigation on the matter was still ongoing and if found guilty the suspect will be charged to court.
