Per the law - that strictly is not illegal in itself. But what would be illegal is not informing him of his specific offence (and that is not simply saying "there is a petition against you" and not reading him his rights.

Yeah but that's not the subject of discussion, is it?

verybadmouth:

Nawa ooo. Finish, that's how they'll wait for the criminal that will kill your family member to finish before they arrest him

With statements like this, many of you just show that you are still not ripe to dwell in a constitutional democracy and you still dont deserve fundamental human rights.

SmartyPants:

Well thats my own angle sha. As a lawyer, thats what concerns me.
But as we have both agreed, it was also unprofessional. The drama was needless.

Nigerian Police will often arrest someone for a mere misdemeanor or even civil matter with the aggression that one would use for a terrorist strapped with a bomb.

DeepSight:


How can you write the bold and still fail to note that that is the very first thing the officers ought to have stated?
Rather they were saying - "there is a petition against you" and "you are a criminal". . . . . what nonsense is that?

When a petition is written against you and submitted to the police, you have the duty to answer some questions at the police station where the details will be read to you and you explain your own part, the detail is not always read to you at the point of invitation or arrest, you heard the police man saying you think you can continue to hide or so. To educate you more, not all criminals have their charges read to their hearing before they are taking away, even in the USA, UK etc

Baba let them kill your loved one and wait for him to finish a radio program before they arrest him. You will know how far. Una too like crime for this Naija sef, that's why you support and celebrate criminals.

Even if the guy is in a plane, in the bathroom, eating, banging his wife, in the office, farm, driving, the police officers have every single right to arrest him. He doesn't look like a top government official that has immunity, Soo why is he evading arrest and making stupid videos. He should follow them and answer any question he is asked.

But wait oo, una Nigerians funny ooo. What has the police officers done wrong for you to be insulting them in this manner? You don't even know what the guy has done wrong yet and you're blaming the officers. Imagine the guy was involved in the kidnap of your sister, will you be saying all these rubbish. Nigerians make una start to dey get sense oo. If you see how and where oyinbo dey arrest people ehhh, una go call Naija police holy.

Here again. Look at the bold. That is exactly what the officers have done wrong - not stating the offence.
Stating the offence is the number one rule and the first thing to be done in any arrest.
That is a matter of law and also fundamental right.

verybadmouth:

Nawa ooo. Finish, that's how they'll wait for the criminal that will kill your family member to finish before they arrest him

you could have made your point without involving my family members. Is the guy armed?. No.

Was he constitusting serious infrations that could lead to loss of life at the point of arrest? No?.

Why then invade newsroom just to arrest unarmed individual?. Why not wait at the door, he exhausts his airtime and you pick him up?.

This is highly nonsensical. The officers have failed to mention the offense - which they are required to by law and you have jumped to murder and also the conclusion that we are celebrating a criminal.

Pathetic.

Why invade a newsroom because you want to arrest someone?.


Whatever happens waiting for the guy after he's done you pick him up?

Maybe they don’t want him to say more than he’d already said.

I am sorry sir. I am a lawyer of twenty years standing. I can tell you you are most wrong. If there is a petition they wish you to respond to, a polite invitation is sufficient. At any point of a proper arrest, there is a legal duty to inform you of the offense you are being arrested for. No one is arrested for an offense he is not informed of. No one. This is capitally wrong.

Please dont even go as far as mentioning the US and UK if you dont know what you are saying.

And please try for once to stand on the side of basic rights. We have this "by order" and "command" mentality here which is still backward. It could be you tomorrow.

DeepSight:


My dear it is absolutely not enough. Anyone can write anything meaningless against anyone else as happens in this country all the time. The proper thing, not just under local laws, but also under global standard practice, is to state the offence, and read him his rights. E.g: You have the right to remain silent, etc.

If what you are advocating flies, you should simply go and live in a totalitarian state, not a constitutional democracy.

Did the American read Osama Bin Ladin his rights?
The point is when it comes to terrorism even the most civil state becomes draconian.
(I'm not saying he's a terrorist I just used it as an example)

Then he should go close to them instead of running back. He's acting like a criminal. They will tell him why they arrested him when he gets to them.

If this in the below video was hiding, how will he had known his offense

Only God know the kind of Stone Age curriculum the Nigerian Police is using in its training schools.

It is professionally, legally and morally wrong for any security agency to arrest a suspect during a live coverage of a program. They should have allowed the program to be concluded before effecting the arrest.

Our police will continue to be a disgrace and the leadership should e embarrassed for this.

That means they can burst into Arise studio and arrest Rufai Oseni for always tackling the leadership.

Have you tried to ask urself, the kind offence the guy committed?

Anybody can be arrested in anywhere, the respect police would grant u, for them not to arrest u in certain places, would base on level of offences u committed.


Meanwhile, as for Rufai, he has never committed offence that warrant him to be arrested. The offence he normally committed is to fine the TV station and which they are doing periodically.

Go close and stop hiding? Are you for real? Where did you see that man hiding? The man who kept shouting to know his offense was hiding?
You just have local police mentality. You need to school up even for your own sake, because anyone - including you - could be the subject of police harassment tomorrow.

I dont know if you watched the full video because he showed his face well.

Rolings:


Sometimes criminals behave in a way that puts security agencies in a very difficult situation.
If a man decides to behave irrationally it's okay for police to be irrational with him too.
The police I know would have extended invitation to him and called him to come to their office and he has refused.
I'm sure he ran to that television studio believing falsely that he can't be arrested on set.

What are you even saying? Effecting an arrest on live TV is the height of unprofessionalism. Even the Afghan or Hamas police won't do that.

That's not a newsroom, it's a studio. And who told you a newsroom is immuned from police invasion?

There is little difference between a TV and Radio Studio. Secondly, the argument is not that the studio is immune no.
The point is that there is a process for an arrest.

And yes, all that drama was lousy, needless and unprofessional.
Based on a "petition."
Lol.

Ol boy stop saying all these things. The space between those people was less than one metre. I didnt see anything stopping them from walking up to him. Its simply the camera they were afraid of.

Where is the manager?

Were you at the scene for u not to know that police didn't tell him his offence?

You think police would enter a corporate organization (NOT MARKET PLACE OR GHETTO ) and arrested suspect in studio without informing the suspect,infact they would informed TV station authority that present.


Oga stop relying on half information on social to judge

One can make a fair assessment because the man shouted repeatedly asking for his offense. They did not answer. They had many opportunities to do so but only responded with - "there is a petition against you" and "you are a criminal" (which is perfect nonsense).

You are talking as if you dont know the way Nigerian Police men operate.
