i just hope they got a court order to wire tap or theres a sting operation..aside that its ILLEGAL and this is why the DSS dont win any case..because they dont do things the right way.as a governor said the DSS don turn to the government personal agberos..we all know nigerians are hypocrites..everyone fighting corruption is corrupt even your messiah as well..

The Wiretap Order

The police must first obtain a wiretap order before eavesdropping on your phone conversations. This is similar to a warrant. The police must prove to a judge that they have probable cause to believe that tapping your phone lines will help them to solve a serious crime, such as drug trafficking, money laundering, or terrorism. However, because wiretapping is so intrusive, the police are held to a higher standard when seeking wiretap orders than when they are seeking warrants.

if they got a warrant to wiretap..then its LEGAL

We have to ask ourselves this: how come it's only Sahara Reporters that always gets the audio tape of election related cases.

mikeycharles:
Sahara and Dino beef reminds of Beyonce and Wendy Williams. All politicians are thieves except BUHARI and some "pure" APC members.

kjhova:


This recording is not from a DSS operation, from all evidence before us. It is the work of an online investigative news medium. They do not need legal clearance to do this.

Marotzke:
DSS turning over official government property (tapes derived from lawful surveilance) to Sahara reporters for material gain.
Let dem declassify every tape and every result of surveilance of politicians in their possesion and let's see who will come out smelling fine.
As at the time this tape was obtained, Dino was the poster boy of APC so it was official secrete.
Now that he has started exhibiting independent thinking, classified government secretes are being brought out in the open to nail him.
Let's see the results of surveilance on Hunkuyi,Abe,Kyari and Dariye all loyal APC senators.

kjhova:


Because Sahara Reporters have built the reputation over a long time and are trusted to protect the source of their scoops.

Think about it; if you are in possession of a flashdrive with detailed conversation of a coup plot between, OBJ, IBB and some serving generals and your life is in danger for having such recording...who will you send it to for the world to know what is going on?

a) Thisday Newspapers
b) NTA
c) AIT
d) Sahara Reporters
e) Linda Ikeji

Your answer is as good as my guess.

cristianisraeli:


investigative news medium indeed..its still illegal to wiretap someone with any court order.

kjhova:


You may have little regard for Sahara Reporters, which understandably should colour your opinion. However, for your case of illegality to stick, the accuser will have to prove to the court beyond circumstantial evidence that SR bugged his/their phones i.e. by showing such mechanical devices as exibit or by showing machine tell tale signs acceptable by reputable professionals as evidence of a bug. The news outlet don't even have to do anything other than to show up in court to refute the claim. Hence hardly has anyone been able to win with such a case against a news medium.

In this case, I guess we all seem to agree that the voices in the recording are those of Mr. Melaye and Judge Ikpeme and that they both agreed to consummate this transaction in "erm...USD" hereby contravening two federal laws at the very least.

FIXED. We know you people. Defenders of corruption. I wonder how you all will survive in your country.

CROWNWEALTH019:
A failed attempt to bring dino down, we the masses would fight for him...



A fool is when you support tinubu as a hero of democracy but condemn me for supporting dino as my own hero

SweetJoystick:
And the fool wrote a book on corruption. Professor Wole Soyinka was right after all about the gathering during the launch of the book. Shame on Dino and the rest which includes all public officials who have looted and still looting whether in APC or PDP

Martins301:
Same nigga forming anti corruption czar. When are we going to rise up and crush this idiots in one mighty revolution like that of Egypt and Libya? Oh! We still have to win the war against tribalism first. This country is a joke. Can't wait to leave this hell of a nation.

Smooyis:


Youths are seemingly becoming the problem of this country. Wether left or right, once a case of corruption is alleged, we should all clamour for prosecution for the sake of the entity called Nigeria.

pokipoki:
Hmmmm!!! Sahara reporters. I really don't know who their legal adviser are?. But even if it's the voice of Dino, two things will happen. First, Sahara reporters have to produce the source of recordings. They also have to produce Dino's consent to the recording. If they are unable to provide this two things; Dino may have a case against cyberstalking since they are no security organization who usually tap conversations.
The second thing that will happen is that they need to prove that it is Dino voice on the recording and also the fact that the conversation led to money actaully exchanging hands. Since the audio conversation did not specify any funds. They also need to prove that the telephone call was made before the judgement was passed.

nattyjay:
Dino was giving Her the Antidote to Corruption

Kathmandu:
SaharaReporters contacted the spokesperson to the Cross Rivers state governor, Christian Ita who said they could only locate a family member of the Ikpeme’s who was already a civil servant in the state before Prof. Ayade became the state governor in 2015.



This part has nullified the veracity of this story.



Dino is a corrupt Thief if being harassed by a Media Thief Sowore for threatening the Biggest Thief Tinubu to impregnate his Wife

do you even listen to your self.yes i know its the senators voice,tech gurus can say otherwise..but it could be inadmissible in a reputable court of law if it was gotten illegally without a COURT ORDER.this is not about the news platform..its how they got the voice recording.they have no right to bug someones phone,thats invasion of privacy.they can actually be sued if its proven that they bugged the senator illegally.only law enforcement agents have the right to wiretap anyone with a court order.this is why DSS case would never stick.if the recording was leaked by melaye or the judge..THEN ITS ADMISSiBLE IN court..all am saying is do things the right way and get the right results.if sahara didnt bug or wiretap..how did they get the recording?i think they have some explaining to do and someone could go to jail

For example, let's use a phone call where one-party law applies. If someone calls me and secretly records our conversation, that would be perfectly legal, even though I don't know of the recording, because one party to the conversation (the caller) consented. However, if my next-door neighbor intercepted a phone call between my wife and me and recorded it, such recording would not be legal, because no party to the conversation consented to the recording.

illegal recordings are not admissible into evidence. For legal recordings, there are a number of hurdles that the party seeking to use the recording as evidence must clear. The first is authenticity; that is, the recorder must prove that the evidence is what it purports to be, a genuine recording made through reliable methods of a specific conversation that has not been altered.

cristianisraeli:


i agree.i dont understand nigerians sometimes..because dino is always saying the truth..yes we all know dino is corrupt..no politician is corruption free in nigeria..but we must always do things the right way..DSS disobeys court orders,wire tap their opponents illegal..hell dino might even say he bought groundnuts from the judge and she asked him to pay in USD.someone in sahara might even end up going to jail..but No it wont happen because oga on top gave them the audio.

Relax bro. You should listen to yourself also. While at that, you should re-read my previous post.

Sahara Reporters aren't taking Dino or anyone to court and thus are not tenderring this recording as exibit to anything. If so, then your argument holds.

DSS is not involved in this matter to our best knowledge from information that is in public space. Therefore, the whole narrative about DSS is unnecessary for the purpose of our conversation.

The bolded in your post, about SR having explanation to make, is well taken care of by my last post. If Dino or madam sue SR, the burden of proof is on them to prove that their telephone was bugged.

All said, SR is in the right direction with this one as any expose on corruption is good for the public even if it is regarded as limited and one-sided.
