State has prerogative right once there is threat to national security. In such circumstances, the section of the law is suspended.
However, going ahead to publish such when there is no case in court is what I don't know.
However, such a thing is sometimes needed to put people on check on what they do or say especially when state security is needed

You are very wrong. No country has any right to wire-tap your phone conversation except with court permission.

You can never suspend constitution. It is not instruction, it is constitution. Everyone abide by it.

Except Gazette is also protected by law. They are bound not to disclose their sources just like lawyers too. The fact is that Obi was careless. All politicians should expect their phones, offices, cars and even bedrooms to be bugged. This is a game for the mad people alone.

Lol. Very wrong. Once you are served a subpoena. And you are to testify in court. You are bound by oath. Withholding the truth is a crime.

Under the oath. You must spill everything.

That audio is obviously fake! Obi and Oyedepo can't be that careless! It was the ringing part that actually got me grin The fakers forgot to omit that part because it's not possible to record the ringing part before conversation begins. cheesy cheesy

All politicians do or say lots of stuff to curry out sentiment.

Maybe we should leave political sentiment asides. We all know Peter Obi made some extreme religious political moves during the presidential campaign period by manipulating, exploiting and exploring our religious diversity to his own advantage. But the thing is no matter how interesting the latest finding is and no matter how fulfilling it is for we the progressives. I think it is time we start asking questions about the supposedly 'exclusive-findings' of gazetteNGR of recent. With this latest one clearly violating the section 37 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of N8geria which state that:

''The privacy of citizens, their homes, correspondence, telephone conversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and protected.''


Even though i dont know how these things work entirely. But i have seen some crime movies (for example: TheWire, Sopranos, Power etc) where even the law enforcement agents/agency will have to acquire something like a court-warrant or court permission with enough reasons; a very convincing motives, to be able to secretly wiretap phonecalls of a criminal or any other person during investigation. You have to convince a judge to the fullest before the warrant or permission is granted. Failure to secure the warrant and going ahead to carry out the action make it illegal, a crime with serious consequences which also render the voice-conversation gotten from such unauthorised secret-wiretap inadmissible in court as an evidence.

I think the labour party camp should drag gazetteNGR to court and whoever published that voice conversation should be made to testify as to the real source of the wiretap under oath. Somebody need to start paying for these illegal acts carried out all in the name of investigative journalism. We cant keep operating as a lawless country.

Today it is Peter Obi, it can be anyone tomorrow. I don't even feel safe making phonecalls anymore.







Your right seize to exist when public interest is at risk. In order words no individual's right supercedes that of the public. I hope this answer your question.

From what I understand, this thread is another childish mind game by APC agents who stupidly think they can lure unsuspecting Peter Obi supporters into accepting their theory of the leaked audio which we all know to be fake.

Peter Obi has always said to not vote for him on basis of ethnic or religious affiliation, but based on capacity, integrity and character.

Morever, I'm a staunch Winner. I listen to Papa Oyedepo almost every day. And I can tell you for free that what you heard is NOT exactly Bishop Oyedepo's voice I know. The audio is simply fake.

Meanwhile why would PO be asking for Kwara Christians to be talked to on election day? How on Earth will that help? They since the conversation was on the eve of the election. Unintelligent liars

He will be disqualified for flouting the electoral act of campaigning on the basis of religion and campaigning on the eve of the election.

Even IPOB knows you shouldn't be making an informal calls with Nigerian telecom. Whatsapp and Signal calls are more secured. PO take note... Tinubu makes calls with encrypted internet links... Employ good IT guys for your security.

Brother. That is because the 'terrorist' phone line has been tapped not mine. And for someone to have tapped the terrorist phone line, you need court permission.

Tapping a terrorist phone-line without court warrant is illegal and if you ever nap the terrorist, then you have no evidence to present from the audio-conversation because it is unauthorised and rendering it inadmissible in court.

Lol. Delusions of an amateur conspiracy theorist.

Maybe you should take a stroll to do twitter page of gazetteNGR yourself. GazetteNGR dont care about false neutrality, they publish sh!t about anything and anyone with reckless abandonment. They have a very sour- stretched history with APC.

If anyone is sponsoring them. My money will definitely be on Labour party.
You are wasting your time trying to put senses in those sore losers. Do you think they are often referred to as children of hates for nothing? Hate is really 90% constituent of their brains properties. These are people openly denigrating a person like Tinubu without any sense of remorse or retrospect in the name of politics. But each time they are served in their own ways they would go agitated, playing victims card.
We all so how the chief justice was radicle few days ago by these pigs relying on this same source that exposed bar face religious and tribal bigotry their made messiah, we all saw how the chief justice was radicle few days ago by these zomobidogs pigs.
You have said the obvious which I believe make sense to those who have one. And I also believe that your mission is not to please or attract pleases. Therefore, I urge that you ignore them to continue with their wagging interpretation since it pleases their wailing.

OP and the rest commentators are masters in propaganda and mischief. Chief gaslighters. Always, taking advantage of the naive nature of the masses to control the narrative and influence their thought processes. You have rush to open a thread to make it look like Peter Obi's phone was tap. You know it's fake news, but yet still hold onto the lies. That's how you all said Peter Obi son stepped on Nigeria flag and still held on to that fake news.
Nigerians should expect more fake news and propaganda from the wicked ones concerning the opposition party of LP.
The earlier guys understand that majority of these kind of political propaganda have religious tune, they better. We all call ourselves one Nigeria, but hatred and wicked scheming is what guys specialize on.
Guys be very careful when disgusting contents made by the OP and their likes.
