The Abuja taxi driver, one Emmanuel Imhoudu who stripped naked to resist arrest after his vehicle was impounded by security operatives, has been dished a 6 months jail sentence for violating the lockdown order issued by the federal government.


It was reported earlier that the driver who defied the stay-at-home directive on Monday April 13, protested the seizure of his car by the FCT COVID-19 Joint Task Force Team, saying he had a family to feed and could not cope with sitting at home.


He was heard saying in a viral video;

“I no dey provoke. I be Edo boy. I get children. I get wife. Na money I dey find, money to chop. No money. You tell us to stay for us. Nothing. No food.”


However following his arraignment before an Abuja Magistrate court on three count charges, the taxi driver was handed a 6 months jail sentence (two months for each count) with an option of N10,000 fine.

unfavorable justice is always swift for the defenceless. in this country you either have money, be connected politically, emigrate or remain and suffer.

The court should pay that fine for him and let him go. Did he have up to N10,000 and came out to hustle that day?

All he wanted was to provide food for his family ... I pity his condition though.

NB: If you are in Abuja and can contact this man to post his bail. Kindly indicate biko so that the money can be made available please

A man that has a wife and kids; looking for money to eat should not be in jail.

Can someone link me to this man or whoever the bail funds will be remitted to.

A full blown man stripped to his panties. His kids and wife probably starving at home,or even sick yet a judge has the moral right to sentence such man, where is the hope for a common man. Where is our conscience.

In desperate times like this, please let's learn to show compassion and tolerance.
