Is it actually right to handcuff someone who has not been convicted if the person is not attempting to resist arrest? By my level of legal awareness, my answer is no. Or, who has a different view on this?

Support a call for Nigerian government to declare a state of emergency on food security and set up soup kitchens in Nigeria. Check here.

If I tell you the level of hate and disgust I have for this country, it will be difficult to adequately express it.

The fact that people are keeping quiet over all of this nonsense make it even worse, and justifies my feeling about the country and most of the evil people in it.

Where the law is flexible and amenable to abuse by any idiot who happens to have some money or influence... Where the same law can be manipulated or interpreted variously depending on the actors involved... This is beyond unacceptable.

You can be handcuffed as soon as you are arrested. You are restrained to prevent you from causing any problems.

Not "you can". I already know it can happen. My question is: Is it right? I actually need to know.

It's not a question of it being right or wrong. Is it legal? Yes.
I meant legal for the police, you can't just handcuff your neighbors, I don't think that is legal.

There are stands that warrant police to cuff a suspect... their safety, if they perceive that they might escape, court can pronounce it, or real criminals.... Dele of course can escape if he has the chance. however, every government has a way to breach the law even in the advanced countries...

well anyone who is bold enough to write the denigrating and implicating book mentioning names without restrain should be ready already for whatever that will happen afterwards... if na u dem write such things against wont you take action even if the writer was right....

as to Afe Babalola we all knew that Obj didnt respect the rule of law during his tenure and they ran thingss...Afe was the legal counsel for the govt and lawyer to obj...so...

Dele should deal with it...there is always a price to pay for being an activist

It is not right to handcuff, but it is right to spoil somebody name, right? He is actually a lawyer himself, theory is different from practical; he will experience what common man always experience. Quoting laws from now till tomorrow will never solve problem like this, the main thing is for you and all of us to run away from crime or crime related. Bedroom is not the same as Prisonroom. Always soak your gaari with joy and freedom while you keep blowing your grammar online with peace of mind, but never go near crime or its related cousin like spoiling other people's reputation for like and share or for Amazon advert. Proceed from his book may not be enough to cater for his problem.

Britishpea has answered correctly. In issues of judgment, the authorities can claim safety and security even if he is not a criminal. That's the law for you. I think there are attempts to disgrace him but I don't rush to judgment. Our President has been in the box before, OBJ was in prison before. Tafa Balogun, our former IG of Police was handcuffed. Ibori has prison photos and is back. Bode George went to prison and came out.
Nothing new under the sky.

If you watched Dele's recent videos, I think he is ready for this. Especially when his friend, Barrister Ogunlana died at 60 after the book launch. He has come to question himself about life. What is the worst that will happen? death. If you don't fear death, you will go though this without any fear. Dele said the truth is his shield before and after he dies. This experience will just give him more topics to write about and boost his YouTube page grin

It's never been Afe Babalola versus Dele Farotimi.
Someone highest up is extracting a pound of flesh from Farotimi.

Farotimi detests Tinubu administration like leprosy and has never lowered the microphone to show his distaste.

This handcuff thing is all shades of wrong!

You can't be claiming fairness and equity in law and Judiciary, yet openly show such imbalance and bias.

I have never seen any Top politician or ex governor handcuffed like a hardened criminal, even when their corruption cases were internationally alarming.

Even Bobrisky wasn't treated this shabbily and disrespectfully.


Using the law as an instrument of oppression and vindictiveness is unheard of in a properly functioning democracy.
