Please show the part of the law that says that intent is the same as the act itself

Also, please see this 2012 video link below and see what Buhari said about the blood and baboon.

Buhari has also made several statements in bad taste but no one arrested him.

Are you saying that Buhari and Tinubu should be tried for treason?

Don't forget so many people have primised to bring Nigeria down, why is the government not going after them?

chloedogie:
You are joking right? If you have not? He hasn't and they went to street the day he was arrested. Was the revolution called for in Spain successful? Why was he arrested? What happened to the guy that started it? Abi there own law dey different from ours? You guys need to leave sentiments out of it and be very objective. That you are quoting me here is part of the benefits of peaceful governance. The day revolution starts in this country only NTA will be working and you will only have access to 30mins per week broadcast. Go and read about revolution and the efficacy and come back to discuss with me.

I am not moving anywhere, because you have not opened this thread for the purpose of truth.

Truth will expose you and you will run away from this thread yourself.

Just look at what you saying that the courts are wrong, really! two different judges are wrong to bail someone for which you have filed charges of insulting the President and money laundry.

It is a shame to share a national space with you,

Joker.

idid:
Then you don't know the law,

Under the law, if you have not committed the revolution itself (which is the offense), the law has nothing against you.

Also, what of Buhari, and Tinubu that called for Revolution in 2014?

Why is the government not dealing with them.

The guys from Niger Delta have said many times that they will bring down Nigeria, what has anyone done to done.

This is a callous and selective fight, simple!

idid:
Are you a government paid agent or one of the newly recruited APC online fighters?

What exactly is your point. Yes, Sowore committed treason, but it is the court of law that determines not you or no General Buhari.

Gani Fawehinmi and Femi Falana himself have been once charged for treason and it is not the state that adjudicates the matter, it is the law, so get that into your skull.

Follow the rule of law or shut up.

delpee:
There was a case of someone talking about dogs and baboon. ..war more or less ( I can't remember the exact words) ...which led to the loss of lives especially corpers then. Was that not suggesting violent revolution?

idid:
Perfect!

Please what does the Nigerian law say?

Your clarity will be appreciated

There are various ways of constitutionally removing a president without committing treason. It can be done in the law courts, or the masses can protest in such a way that the legislature will look into the grievances of the public, including an ineffectual and corruption-ridden election umpiring, and kick off a process that might lead to the legal impeachment of a president who is complicit in the crimes of corrupting the election process e.t.c


Moreover if a president corrupts the electoral process, it invariably means that the general population can no longer remove an unpopular president. This is no longer democracy by the way. Such a situation calls for Sowore's kind of intervention, afterall the people are being denied their right of hiring and firing their presidents.

Sowore took part in the election of 2019 so he must have a clearer insight, regarding the depth of corruption in the electoral process, so I am so sure Sowore knows what he's talking about and witnessed firsthand the removal of Nigerians rights to elect their leaders.

My friend be educated, Boris Johnson won an election last week.
And people have started saying they don't want him and they want his government down.
In your logic, the state should throw all of them in prison

Did you go to school, do you understand what the rule of law is?

nku5:
If this all the FG has on Sowore then it's not enough to convict him with. Sowore just miscalculated. The climate of freedom enjoyed under GEJ really gassed him up.

Buhari no send you. Even if they can not prove Sowore had real plans to remove the government they will just embroil him in the judicial process as payback for misyarning

gidgiddy:
There is one thing that is fundamentally wrong in all you have said including the videos. It's one thing to parade videos that intends to show that Sowore wanted to institute a bloody revolution or unlawful change of government, it's another thing to prove it.

In the eyes of the law, guilty mind is not the same as guilty act. It doesnt matter how many videos anyone shows were Sowore wants revolution, you have to show he meant to carry out a revolution by his acts, not by his mere words alone. Breach of the law must be an act, it cant be mere words alone. It is impossible to overthrow government with mere words, you must be armed.

I remember some years ago that the Government classified IPOB as a terrorist group. The international community refused to accept that classification because IPOB is unarmed and there is no such thing as an "unarmed terrorist group"

So unless the government can show that Sowore and his "Revolution Now" group were armed, all this talk about treason and revolution are all a waste of time because it is impossible to overthrow a government without being armed

chloedogie:
He is basically joking. Sudan and Algeria themselves are still licking their wounds now. Leave hatred towards Buhari out of it, no sane person will support revolution in Nigeria. Especially students of history. Mots of these kids here are just finishing SS1 and are still being fed and fathered.

ebukamen:
You are not colonel Emeka

chloedogie:
If not because of the unprofessional-ism of DSS and even the presidency, Sowore would have been handed life imprisonment by now or................. Sentiments aside, if people actually know the gravity and effect of what Sowore was gunning after, they would have advised him properly.
