What Is This Riot Act by ebere1712: 2:39am On May 06, 2012 |
What is this riot act. Its seems that this act was historically used by tyrants in power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_Act. From the little I got from articles on-line, the law was passed down by the british monarchical officers that invaded us. It seems to be prohibiting even the peaceful gathering and protest of law abiding citizens. What is this still doing in Nigerian law. Every government official is busy reading it out to people. (links below). I think this law should be significantly amended or better still repealed. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=22&ved=0CFEQFjABOBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.punchng.com%2Fnews%2Fajimobi-reads-the-riot-act-to-hoodlums%2F&ei=bc6lT4b-BaWXiAfnjLXXAw&usg=AFQjCNELb6RVw6ax4bOk8L5Fy_PpFYW1iQ&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=23&ved=0CFIQFjACOBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nigerianbestforum.com%2Fblog%2F%3Fp%3D95663&ei=bc6lT4b-BaWXiAfnjLXXAw&usg=AFQjCNH_iMpZorZGGxzJkkyjdCF8j9PW0w&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=24&ved=0CFMQFjADOBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsbreaknigeria.com%2Fnews%2FNigeria%253A%2BFG%2BReads%2BRiot%2BAct%2Bto%2BDiplomatic%2BMissions%2B-%2BAllAfrica.com&ei=bc6lT4b-BaWXiAfnjLXXAw&usg=AFQjCNG0WF62NE1Od81XEy3Tg6uUuXmggQ&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=25&ved=0CFUQFjAEOBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdigitalizenigeria.com%2F2012%2F04%2F17%2Foshiomhole-reads-riot-act-to-contractors%2F&ei=bc6lT4b-BaWXiAfnjLXXAw&usg=AFQjCNGMSNmA1XPvqlALp_xZGQFXvq237g&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=27&ved=0CFcQFjAGOBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.channelkoos.com%2Findex.php%2Fnews%2F953-ribadu-reads-riot-act-to-oil-industry-players&ei=bc6lT4b-BaWXiAfnjLXXAw&usg=AFQjCNF22BtUpXSpLxtN9YFRa7dXJz9iWw&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=30&ved=0CFoQFjAJOBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fallafrica.com%2Fstories%2F201203210551.html&ei=bc6lT4b-BaWXiAfnjLXXAw&usg=AFQjCNEJ3Wsp6cDVchdeJUAB_YtUo98XgQ&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=12&ved=0CFYQFjABOAo&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnigerianpilot.com%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D5205%253Apolice-read-riot-act-to-cultural-groups%26catid%3D39%253Aafrica%26Itemid%3D193&ei=T8-lT9PuL6-hiAeFrbmtAw&usg=AFQjCNHLWUR6Zai04o4iM2_l8xg8GLVEsw&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=19&ved=0CF4QFjAIOAo&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zimbio.com%2FNigeria%2Farticles%2F_iwApFHW8et%2FSubsidy%2Bscam%2BSenate%2Breads%2Briot%2Bact%2BEFCC&ei=T8-lT9PuL6-hiAeFrbmtAw&usg=AFQjCNEZBXvvfylYnmLEFJntvyjKXGGBNA&cad=rja http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=riot+act+nigeria&source=web&cd=10&ved=0CFsQFjAJ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpremiumtimesng.com%2Fnews%2F4417-nigeria_senate_reads_riot_act_to_mali_coup_plotters_weighs_milit.html&ei=ss-lT9uDPM-PiAfCwPyuAw&usg=AFQjCNF-hEPK07MzZuSqnA3h3a-ae8g-og&cad=rja |
