wirinet:

The law itself is against the fundamental human rights of rights to dignity. Getting a warrants from a judge is very easy and straight forward. Just present your evidence and arguments before a judge and a warrant would be granted within a matter of minutes.

Giving any human the powers to arrest arbitrarily without check is dangerous and would lead to serious abuse. Nigerian Police and other security forces break into people's houses, lock up suspects for months and search through people's phones, and commit all sorts of atrocities against innocent citizens and you are supporting this obnoxious law.

If this act actually exists, it should be challenged at the courts as it is blatantly against the constitution. The act cannot pass judicial scrutiny.

Very well said.

US DEA does not have powers to search your property without your permission or a court warrant.

Any act that is inconsistent with the constitution is void to the extent of its inconsistencies

The courts would strike this down if tested

the section you quoted said when there's reason to believe.

Now you're leading people to believe this is a blanket power or absolute authority.

But I'm not surprised, you even write like one with interrupted education.
Why can't the reason be presented before a judge?

Most times Police fish for reason after breaking into your property or after arrest.
Police have entered my shop before and attempted to drop a small pack of marijuana. Luckily someone saw him and raised an alarm. I am my workers raked so loud that people gathered. The police left in shame. This happened about 7 years ago.

nope, you didn't interpret that section or understand it well.

Without sufficient REASON, POLICE, NDLEA NEED WARRANT.

However in circumstances when they have reason to believe a crime is about being committed, they don't need warrant.

Is it me or no one else noticed that was a 1992 act of the military. This is Democratic dispensation and one would have expected our legislators to amend them but no, they are after their pockets.

Yes in active cases where a crime is in progress, of course it would unreasonable to expect a warrant before a crime is bursted. But the "without reason" clause can be interpreted and abused wrongly. The law needs to clarify that distinction.

I thought about this too. Any security agency in Nigeria can come to your place without search warrant and arrest you or search your premises. The one they did to zinoleesky was just a witch hunt. They knew those niggas would always have drugs on them and they can afford to cough out huge sums for bail or bribe.

If you guys don't like any of laws of the land, please get you PVC and vote in people of good conscience and character to review the bad laws.
We can't win on social media without participating in democracy.
The time to decide on Nigeria's future is now.
