@beaf , i think if i am reading the facts right and to you that is exemplary ,lawful and humane.
fine by me.
i still don't want to live in a country where 3mth detention is termed humane, don't want a president with such exemplary behaviour.
will fight till death to change that president and the law that will sanction such behaviour.

There are several souls languishing in jail year on year, awaiting trial. Our whole criminal justice system requires reform.

list number one to GEG

orangemen:

that driver shld thank his stars that he did not jam that of ohakim the governor of imo state.

Nsiman:

@ justcash, if it was when gej was in acting capacity it means it was political going by that time, then the driver will now understand the meaning of the wages of sin is death, , so that is the price

it's the police that is trying the man not the SSS, that's why things are being handled this way, from the article it's obvious they have lost interest in the case but the magistrate doesn't want to dismiss it due to fear

oyb:

any driver in nigeria can tell you - those convoy ecurity are thugs and a law unto themselves

on occasion i have almst fallen afoul of some of these got thugs because i was not paying enough attention.

i only hope that these people did not hit the driver and then make up these stories to defend their actions
(very plausible when you consider the well deserved beating security has been getting in the press)

Rather, it is as a result of security lapses on the side of Mr. President's security agents,

MaziUche0:

I hate Nigerian politicians. I really do. . .

This is complete nonsense. No wonder this nation is the way it is. He did not hit Jonathan's car on purpose. Why go through all this trouble to make a mockery of this man?

this is the president of nigeria we're talking about. . .you wont be moving when he's passing so there's no need to get out of the way. . .whether you are on the same side of the road as he is, or on a different side, as long as he is on the road, you will be stopped.

imagine you are on western avenue. . .if he's going towards the island and you are going towards the mainland, they will still stop you.

if the security ppl are that careful/paranoid what do you think would happen to someone who managed to hit a car in the presidents convoy?

like i said, it's the police we're talking about here, the roads are manned by policemen and traffic wardens when the CinC is moving, so[b] if he was beaten, he was beaten by the nigeria police, not the presidents security detail.[/b]

Ameh was arrested after the incident and was beaten black and blue by security agents in Mr. President's convoy around February this year,

texazzpete:

It is most likely that Jonathan isn't even aware of the fate of the Taxi Driver. As soon as he and his security detail would have determined that the thing was a mere accident, the presidential convoy would move on, leaving a small detachment to take care of the taxi driver.

This is not like how the Imo Governor's convoy stopped. The presidential convoy will not stand still.

Perhaps now Goodluck is aware, the man will be released.

Justcash:

I doubt if the man will be released so soon. He totally embarrassed the president's security detail and will not float for some time because he will be thoroughly interrogated and given a normal Nigerian Police treatment. I pity him. At least he is still alive.

I really don't understand Gbawe and co's point. So, GEJ should let the man go for exposing his security lapse?
Gbawe imagine yourself as the president, and a Man rams into your car that is tucked in the middle of a long convoy, at a time when your political opponents are hot on your heels, What would you do to the man? (From your name I can Visualise you giving him an OPC treatment for Mis-Waka)
Do you guys think that GEJ came to die for your sins, just as Jesus did.

From your name I can Visualise you giving him an OPC treatment for Mis-Waka

@ poster, not quit long in ph, at seeing a taxi hit his jeep, this man came out of his jeep and ordered his escot to teach him (the taxi driver) a lessen, as he watched his police men hit the taxi drver to death he immediately entered the his jeep and made away. wat am i sayin? can compare dis atrosity of the socald rich man who is not even a governor, senetor not to talk of president who took the law into his hand by ending the life of the poor taxi driver just because of hiting his carin anyway  to sending this driver to 3months in prison because of his reckless driving?  of which u no the man will be released.
u are here crusifyin the president because he is not your choice. GJ IS FAR MORE BETTER than any other presidentianl hoodlum i hav seen so far
