Are you sure you understood my question? Let me make it plain for you:. The police ended up justifying the reason why Seun slapped the policeman.

How did Seun and how has he been used as a scapegoat?

Oh. Well I don't think so. Even if the police end up maltreating Seun or making his stay in their custody longer than normal, the fact remains that Seun Shud not have laid his hands on the officer.
Can he try that in the US?
He has been used as a scapegoat cos most times it's police maltreating and harassing citizens.

This case is one of very very few where a citizen slaps an officer ( with the citizen being the agressor and with no concrete proof that his life was threatened or in danger, or out of self defense.)

Am sure the police have been waiting for such a time to come.

If u observe carefully, even the case with portable is slightly different cos portable only resisted arrest and didn't honor police invitation which is common, but he didn't slap any officer.

So kuti has been used as a scapegoat

that same mumu better pass your generation!!!He stood up to his right!!!never be caught unguard.....he would rather do the time than all the police intimidate him......until your family is chase by a police van and they collide with a trailer,you don't know what it is to defend your family in time of want....if it was a random guy a policeman hit his car and landed in the lagoon,they would label him a fraudster

bionixs:
and who do you think won ?

People like you are impossible. If he had resisted, you would have been here shouting that he is stupid and unruly. Now he played them by heeding to the wise advice of his legal team and here you are talking scrap. He played them and won .

Is it same police force whose privates were kicking and slapping their former IG when he was being taken to court for embezzling their salaries ? The military would not do that. Do they even respect themselves?

ImoleNaija:
He deserves whatever he goes through. It's a slap in the govt's face.

lexy2014:


Pls explain it to us so that we will understand what he did?

bionixs:
IHe slapped an officer in uniform ! It is a serious offense against the state.

The guy goes home on bail after 48hrs.

lexy2014:


can you show me the law that says slapping a police officer is an offence against the state?

bionixs:


. Here’s what the law says

According to Section 356 of the criminal code act, attacking a police officer is a serious offence and all the incidents highlighted above can be regarded as a felony.

Therefore, the act of locking officers in your vehicle, dragging or holding their uniforms out of anger, and resisting or obstructing arrest are termed serious assaults punishable with at least three years jail term.
Section 356 identifies the following actions as serious assaults.

lexy2014:


Are you sure you understood the question I asked you?

Can you quote verbatim the portion of section 356 of the criminal code where anything like "serious assault" was mentioned or were it attempted to define "serious assault" or make a distinction between "serious assault" or any other type of assault?

bionixs:
Verbatim indeed. Childish
