Sad

Remanded without bail ?
9n what grounds?
And what was the outcome of police investigation before taking them to court?
Even the ladies that didn't touch the officers?
Something is definitely not adding up
But this is Nigeria

End of days ...

Country don too hard, almost every body just dey provoke easily.
Vauwalence everywhere.

Any way... Peter Obi for President.

I will be so angry if those guys arent punished. Very useless set of people.
Just because some bad heads are in th NPF doesn't mean we should assault them whenever they are in the line of duty. If those guys don't spend a minimum of 6 months in prison then NPF officials don't have sense.
I'm happy at this update anyway. Buju should have been served such punishment too

Dem don pass dere frustration on this one

naija

Let them remain there

It's high time we balanced this. As Much as we applaud the police when they dismiss erring officers, we also need to reciprocate it when they discipline offenders. Bottom line is, before you start bringing out your phones to record, make sure YOU ARE ON YOUR RIGHT.

but Wait oo... Come to think of it, assuming one of them has a visa an already booked his flight for next week/month. Imagine spending the next 6 weeks for maximum prison for that matter... Na so village people go just dey use him matter drink palmwine.

Make we dey do jeje out there oo.

What an uncommon act of bravery ..

Where are our human rights activists when you need them??

They should get involved at once...

You dey fight Police, you dey video am.

No be juju be that?

Interesting

Okay

But nothing would have been done if it was the police officers that assaulted the four men.
Double standards.

Some police apologists are already waging tongues. So I need to explain my view better for the honest thinkers.

how many of such cases of police brutality/extortion are properly addressed?Fair judgment only get served in less than 10% of the cases, let's not even talk about the ones that couldn't get to the court of public opinion (Social media) cos only 2% of those get solved without bias.

Out of the many cases of police wrongdoings that innocent Nigerians witness daily, it's only in one or two cases that the victims would be able to get justice. So, how exactly will any sane individual want me to jubilate at the few cases that can aptly be acknowledged as isolated events.

Kirikiri Maximum Prison, hmmmmmmmmm. They'll become extremely repentant by the time they come out. Nigerian prison is another hell on it's own. They should a right to lawyers.

D

Nigerian police that commits at all corners.

O ga o. I just saw the video and completely shocked at the unruly behaviour of those guys against the police officers.

Just because of ordinary phone, those young guys were actually struggling with police officers holding guns and not even worried of being shot from accidental discharge of the gun.

They really should thank their stars while cooling off in Kirikiri. smh

Good.

Fighting an armed man on duty is totally wrong can you do that to a soldier at checking point, had it been the officer fired and end up killing the four of them we will ask for their head, we Nigeria's claimed there's no security in Nigeria but we always failed to follow protocol.

the case was adjourned till October 2, 2022. By then, they will have spent over 1 month eating watery beans. Chai. If you don get issue with Nigerian police before, you go know what's up.

The detention was intentional (no bail). The adjournment was intentional. Those guys will spend probably at least 6 months there. The passed their boundary.

Even when the officers are culpable.

it is injustice on those guys part if half of Eastern region are not remanded in prison not just on assault but for killing police officers



if those guys are jailed then police force need to revisit the unjust killing of police officers in Eastern region and their enabler

It is also a good reason why they shouldn't be given bail option
