Maybe we should leave political sentiment asides. We all know Peter Obi made some extreme religious political moves during the presidential campaign period by manipulating, exploiting and exploring our religious diversity to his own advantage. But the thing is no matter how interesting the latest finding is and no matter how fulfilling it is for we the progressives. I think it is time we start asking questions about the supposedly 'exclusive-findings' of gazetteNGR of recent. With this latest one clearly violating the section 37 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of N8geria which state that:

''The privacy of citizens, their homes, correspondence, telephone conversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and protected.''


Even though i dont know how these things work entirely. But i have seen some crime movies (for example: TheWire, Sopranos, Power etc) where even the law enforcement agents/agency will have to acquire something like a court-warrant or court permission with enough reasons; a very convincing motives, to be able to secretly wiretap phonecalls of a criminal or any other person during investigation. You have to convince a judge to the fullest before the warrant or permission is granted. Failure to secure the warrant and going ahead to carry out the action make it illegal, a crime with serious consequences which also render the voice-conversation gotten from such unauthorised secret-wiretap inadmissible in court as an evidence.

I think the labour party camp should drag gazetteNGR to court and whoever published that voice conversation should be made to testify as to the real source of the wiretap under oath. Somebody need to start paying for these illegal acts carried out all in the name of investigative journalism. We cant keep operating as a lawless country.

Today it is Peter Obi, it can be anyone tomorrow. I don't even feel safe making phonecalls anymore.
well someone once leaked the telephone call of Jonathan congratulating Buhari after results were being announced in the 2015 presidential election, nothing was done. Whoever leaked that phone call is walking free today, so I still wonder why people break the law with reckless abandon and nothing is seemingly done about it.

State has prerogative right once there is threat to national security. In such circumstances, the section of the law is suspended.
However, going ahead to publish such when there is no case in court is what I don't know.
However, such a thing is sometimes needed to put people on check on what they do or say especially when state security is needed

In the US, Federal law requires that you can NOT willy-nilly record your conversation with another person without the consent of the other party. However, some states require that all parties in the conversation MUST consent, while some other states require one party just like the Federal Statute. There are exceptions, however, to the rule:
• Law enforcement;
• Court order;
• Communication service providers, if the recording is necessary to deliver service, or protect property or rights;
• Surveillance activities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of the US.

As for Nigeria, who knows, its law is as fluid as water and changes based on who is involved.

Sue people's gazette for what crime exactly? The reporter is an investigative journalist and he's mandated to raise alarm when he sees one, I think people's gazette reporter wanted to be famous as the one dat is central to the story otherwise he shouldn't have written his name fully on print in that article, like I said by, the reporter is only doing his job, there are so many cases where things like this has helped prevent national crisis

The Watergate scandal was reported by the independent newspaper even after Washington Post and many newspaper 📰 said it was fake

The Boston strangler identities were released by two female reporters working for a newspaper

This things happened and is good investigative journalism Is taking its rightful place in the society and in the political scene, is a good day to be alive

All your fundamental human right has an exception.....

Tapping Obi's phones conversation can be termed legal depending on the whose authority concerns. Obi has approach court concerning election matter....and there are various investigation to be carried out while the cases is on going....Obi claimed that there wasn't rigging in southeast....by previous phone conversation...the investigation team could be able to discovered some of the security risk or moves he made behind scene....

But on a light mood....why will Obi be using such phone that can be easily tapped.....perhaps some of the Yahoo Yahoo boys just feel like testing their skill on Obi personal gadget ..perhaps his private gadget is not properly secure....

Evan the kidnapper is even wiser than Obi...because the security operative finds him difficult to be tracked .....yet obi the dullard can be easily tracked by ordinary Gazette Jornalist or Yahoo yahoo journalist....

Let me first of all correct your baseless and nonsensical definitions of Obi's campaign moves before going further to read the gibberish you spilled here. Obi did not make any religious political campaign that exploited our religious diversity as you claimed.

Your president elect went for Muslim Muslim ticket and to you it did not exploit our religious diversity, right?

Obi is a Christian and decided visiting men of God for prayers which is a normal thing. Which pulpit did Obi climb to campaign? Mention one.

Obi's strategy of visiting men of God is still far more sane and constitutional than Tinubu's vote buying and other manipulative practices he was caught in, which corrupt fellows like you upheld.

Nevertheless, we are still focused on the issues of a drug lord clinching the Presidential sit of a sane country like Nigeria. It can't happen!

Except Gazette is also protected by law. They are bound not to disclose their sources just like lawyers too. The fact is that Obi was careless. All politicians should expect their phones, offices, cars and even bedrooms to be bugged. This is a game for the mad people alone.

(a) Do you record the initial rigging part before conversation begins?
(b) Which christian begins a phone conversation with..."in Jesus name"?
(c) "I assure you" is always pronounced as by the Hausas as "I ashuwa you".
