So I just came online and I saw on the front page that an EndSARS protester was arrested for possessing charm and cutlass. This is not the first time the Nigerian Police Force has arrested someone for possession charms.

I just wanted to make this clear that in a country where there is supposed to be religious freedom, arresting someone for possessing charm is like arresting a Muslim for possession the Qur'an or a Christian for possessing the Bible.

If It was a Christian/Muslim that was arrested, people would have cried persecution/islamophobia. But now a traditional worshippers is carrying what He believes in and was arrested for it, y'all are real quiet. I'm sure some of you like are even happy with the arrest.

Una good evening.

You make a great point. Religious freedom should extend to everyone. But people like MaxInDHouse do not get that concept.

A Bible is not a charm but simply a book. Unless you want the cops to go around arresting folks for having books, I suggest you give your reasoning there a thorough sweeping.

As for the arresting of people carrying what you call charms, your anger should be directed at the Nigerian police and laws that enable such ridiculousness.

A Bible is lot a charm but simply a book.

Ok how about rosaries/beads that Christians and Muslims Carry? Surely it can be treated on the same level as charm, right?

Rosaries and beads have nothing to do with the Bible or Jesus Christ.

If an individual who also happens to be a Christian chooses to wear such things as charms, then that choice is wholly that individuals as it does not change anything of Christianity itself.

Catholics wear rosaries and Methodists have special rituals called holy communion

That's of their church doctrines and individual preferences. All of that has nothing to do with scripture or God.

Are they arresting people with charm?

Impossible abeg

Damnnn niggar
Nigerians are hypocrite and one hell of holier than thou moda fuckkers
Always quick to judge that other people's sin is more bigger than theirs
You see a lecturer collecting blocking will be critizing a yahoo boy.....and one damnnn employer who is supposed to have paid his or her staff will put the money in the bank without paying staff to generate interest will be Critizing a runz babe

African tradition arrested and detained by Nigeria police force....

Yes of course, with all the jazz, charm, juju voodoo, the white still colonized and explore.

A man is made of what he thinks and believes in.

Ofcourse, is there tradition

OP MADE ALOT OF SENSE!

According to Section 62 Paragraph 7 of the Constitution, any body or group of persons in possession of charms or fetish items with intent...
Abeg make I confirm 1st from my lawyers.

You're correct. Nigeria is a secular state. Nobody should be arrested for practicing what he/she believes in

So cutlass too na charm?,are these defenders suffering from acute gullibility or outright blindness??

You're right, Mr. Satanist.

I'm not sorry to say this Nigeria is a very useless country full of evil people.

Naija

While I understand your point on charms, you should know that the same person was arrested with a cutlass, which is a weapon.
The cutlass could be used to injure people or destroy properties

Ok

Someone carried a cutlass that was concealed in his bag to a protest ground and you are pontificating. Well done.

OP
You have a Point tho..because Charms are Part of our African Traditional Religion!
