What the Police are not allowed to do during an Arrest.

1). They CANNOT arrest you over civil matters
The police have no business arresting anyone because of:
debts
rent issues
boyfriend–girlfriend quarrels
business disagreements
“He insulted me”
Those are civil matters. The police exist for crime, not private disputes.

2). They CANNOT beat, slap, torture, or brutalize you
No officer has the right to “discipline” you.
Torture is illegal whether physical, verbal, or psychological. Even if you’re a suspect, you are still entitled to dignity under the law.

3). They CANNOT search your phone without your consent or a warrant
Your phone is private property. They cannot forcefully open your messages, read your chats,
go through your gallery, access your banking apps
unless there is a lawful basis like a court warrant or immediate suspicion connected to the crime they stopped you for.

4). They CANNOT detain you longer than 24–48 hours without charging you
They cannot keep you indefinitely. If there is evidence, charge you. If there is no evidence, release you. Keeping you beyond the constitutional time frame becomes unlawful detention.

5). They CANNOT refuse you access to your lawyer or family
You have the right to call a lawyer
speak with someone close to you, have legal representation during interrogation, blocking this right is unconstitutional.

6). They CANNOT force you to sign a statement
Not even “just write your side.” Not even “sign here.” Your statement must be voluntarily written by you, made without threat, pressure, or intimidation
If you’re not comfortable, you can say:
“I prefer to remain silent until my lawyer arrives.”

7). They CANNOT arrest you without telling you the reason
They must state the offence clearly.
You cannot be arrested based on guesswork, vibes, or “follow me to the station first.”

8.) They CANNOT search your body disrespectfully
Women must be searched by female officers.
No officer can conduct a degrading or inappropriate search the law forbids it.

9). They CANNOT use arrest as a tool of intimidation
Police power is for public safety not for settling scores, collecting “bail money,” or harassing citizens.

10). They CANNOT demand money for bail
Bail is FREE.
Whether the case is minor or serious. Any officer demanding money for bail is breaking the law.

Police officers have authority but that authority has boundaries. When you know those boundaries, you protect yourself because the difference between obedience and oppression is simply knowing your rights.

Legal update

Sapasenator:
Hello Nairalanders,

I am completely lost and need advice. My name is Olumide Adeyanju(Not my real name), and I’m a 42-year-old civil engineer based in Lagos. I’ve been married to my wife, Tola, for seven years. We have a son together, Jidenna, who is five years old. Our marriage hasn’t been perfect, but I thought we had something solid—until recently.

When I met Tola, she was a divorcee. She told me her first marriage to a man named Dapo Olatunji ended after three years due to irreconcilable differences and I believed her. According to her, Dapo had anger issues and was overly controlling. She said she left the marriage to protect her mental health and focus on building a better life for herself. At the time, I admired her courage, and we built a beautiful relationship.

Last month, everything changed. Tola and I were invited to a wedding in Lekki. As fate would have it, Dapo was also at the wedding. It was the first time they were seeing each other in nearly 10 years. I noticed they exchanged pleasantries, and while it seemed cordial at first, something about the way they looked at each other didn’t sit well with me.

In the weeks that followed, I started noticing subtle changes in Tola’s behavior. She began acting distant and spending more time on her phone, often smiling at her screen like a teenager in love. When I asked her what was going on, she brushed it off, saying it was just "work stress."

Then, two weeks ago, I came home early from work and found her on a video call with Dapo. She didn’t realize I was home, so I overheard parts of their conversation. They were laughing and reminiscing about their past together—things like how they used to travel to Abuja for weekend getaways and the time he bought her a surprise gift for her birthday. It felt like I was intruding on a private moment between lovers.

When I confronted her, she admitted that she and Dapo had been talking regularly since the wedding. She claimed it was "nothing serious" and that they were just "catching up as friends." But I don’t believe her. Her behavior has changed so much. She’s more secretive, and I even found out she met up with him last Saturday without telling me. She said it was a "closure" meeting, but why does she need closure after all these years?

Now I’m stuck. I love Tola, but it feels like her heart is being drawn back to Dapo. I’ve spoken to my elder brother, Kunle, and he thinks I should stand my ground and fight for my marriage. But my best friend, Tunde, says I should let her go if she’s already emotionally checked out.

I don’t know what to do. Should I confront Dapo directly? Should I give Tola an ultimatum to stop talking to him? Or should I quietly walk away and let her decide who she really wants to be with?

Please, Nairalanders, I need your honest opinions. Have you experienced or heard of a situation like this? How do I handle it?

I was trying to prepare dinner about 2 hours ago, when boiling water poured on my leg. I was rushed to a nearby hospital, where I was administered first aid, and then the doctor prescribed some drugs. I have a feeling that this might be a third degree scald. Your suggestions are welcome on how to treat this.

Young ladies should copy folks like this and stop dancing half-naked on social media and disgracing their family.

OBIGS:
I had a dream that the suffering in the land will trigger an uprising before the year ends. In this uprising citizens United together and stormed government house, killed corrupt politicians. Tinubu and his family had to flee to France to seek asylum. Young military officers stepped in to bring order. All government institutions were reformed and free and fair elections was held in Nigeria. A new dawn started and Nigeria began to progress positively with real change we could all see.

Since he made his money by worldly means can the church accept the donation? Is it acceptable to pay title?

Nonsense, where is the sense in tattooing ordinary boyfriend's name on your precious skin? Even husband sef lailai. The only person that can earn that spot is your kids and parents.

Tattooing a boyfriend's name that's sharing dick everywhere is the highest form of stupidity.

jeromestarks:
Perfect timing! Timing is everything! If you did not meet her as a virgin, fvck her and let her go meet other fvckers. Never marry her or else, you will be in the wrong timeline because you will never father any child but you will take care of her ex's children thinking they're yours.



Do not pay bride price, sponsor wedding ceremony and take care of in-laws just to have a woman who was fvcked by another man with just two eggs and indomie. Only a fool with poor sense of time would do that. Are you the fool?


Be wise. Be time conscious. Be the first!

Or am I the only one thinking these senator earn way more than that.
Cheapest Lamborghini cost N200m and someone has up to three in his garage, that is three years worth of salary.
G-wagon cost up to N100m.
Rolls Royce cost around N600m and u have 3, which is 1.8b.

Praxis758:
40k of those days is equivalent to about 4m today.

I woke up 2 days ago and noticed my laptop is showing me this. I haven't used it for a week so I am wondering what could have been wrong here.

Today is even the worst. Once it starts booting and it will shut down. It will keep booting and shutting down by itself.

Regarding Oweka Onyeka, we know that King Sunny Ade was nominated and received a Grammy Award...now tell me any Ibo. Musicians , dead or alive who have been nominated for grammy award talk less of receiving it....King Sunny Ade is an institution of music ....he is not in the class of onyeka ... onyeka is a local champion ........show me on grammy one got or nominated for .....and I will show myriad of globally recognized award that King Sunny Ade got ....After Fela Kuti in music...nah Sunny Ade....Onyeka no dey at all....in fact, the collaboration he did with your Onyeka was one of the worst selling albums in his music....compare to the one he made without any collaboration.
Ask some of your Ibo musicians why their fame has dwindled since they collaborated with the Yoruba musician. and not until they sing in Yoruba language they can reach their target audience ....
Even an illiterate Yoruba
Boy and musician like Portable " has gotten many awards than what your Onyeka Owneu has ....except for her age ..Portable has.more award than Onyeka Owenu is making .


Ask Burna Boy not to sing in Yoruba language and style and see if he can maintain his fame....Burma boy rode on the wings of Fela music to gather fame for himself. Tell him to switch to his style of music in portharcout and let see how far....

My brother this your tribal sentiment is not good for you, do you have to go to this extent in making your point. Please note that I am 100% Yoruba man with grown up kids.


Idiot..... .

Concorde was probably a case of too fast, too soon.

We need supersonic flight, but the problem with concorde was that it was darn too expensive to run every time. And it was tech that was too far ahead of its time.

At the end, the inevitable happened.

I guess we would have to wait a bit longer for supersonic tech, AND for suborbital flights, where we can reach New York from Lagos in 34 minutes. Maybe in the 22nd century.
