Timmi:1. Because others do join in their cause? What does that mean? ![]() 2. That is not true at all in the U.S. ![]() 3. Protesting is no excuse for committing crimes obviously. But I am not certain what you are even attempting to argue. ![]() 4. Nobody said it does, so again, I am not certain where you are going with this since clearly, even the Governor of Kano made it abundantly clear that the looting and destruction that happened in Kano was not done by protestors but touts who were hired by politicians in his state. The same was reported during the EndSars protest. So what in the world are you yammering on about here? ![]() 5. It seems clear to me at this point that you already lost your breeze and are now arguing for the sake of arguing. Earlier you had required that their right to protest be denied them which prompted me to mention that it is foolishness to suggest such. There have been many protests here in the US that turned violent over the many years, George Floyd’s which happened in 2020 quickly comes to mind. No one called for people's right to protest to be denied them after the many banks that were destroyed. Even after the trump stewpidity that followed, not a single person suggested that the right be stripped of the people because people know such talk is foolishness. ![]() |
PassingShot:Your Constitutional right to free speech allows you to speak or say anything you want really without having a policeman break down your door to arrest you just because. Police arrests can only occur according to that stipulated in Section 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, Section 38(1) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section 18(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act. Any arrest made outside of that is illegal or even kidnapping. 2. It is unlawful if proven so in the courts, after which an arrest is then issued, not before. Read through sections 373 - section 381 of your Constitution for details. ![]() |
Shimbo96:Police arrests should only occur as stipulated in Section 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, Section 38(1) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section 18(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act. Any arrest made outside of that is illegal or even kidnapping. The courts would need to first prove that the propaganda is in fact of the kind you describe, right? That is why police arrests are not made until after the courts are engaged. ![]() It happens that way even here in the USA. ![]() |
Lifestone:And I believe I corrected you several saying that even in such cases, defamation is handled and proven in court, not first with police arrests. Read through Section 373 - Section 381 do not prescribe police arrests before the court is engaged in those cases. Police arrests can only occur according to that stipulated in Section 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, Section 38(1) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section 18(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act. Any arrest made outside of that is illegal or even kidnapping. ![]() |
phemray:1. Section 32(2) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section 8(2)of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 clearly states that a person shall not be arrested merely for a civil wrong or a breach of contract. So, if you have a problem with a particular person whom you feel has defamed, you can take it to court where it can be decided. ![]() 2. Criticism isn't regulated by the law. ![]() |
SmartyPants: ![]()

Ainaolusegun:In saner climes, this is an available benefit that elders should not even want for. What your politicians do is they deny you of benefits, rights and amenities you pay them to give you so that when they eventually offer you a pinch of it, you extol them as though they were sent to you by the gods themselves. ![]() |
Lumarstone:Water purification plants, sewage and waste management plants, etc. which will infact serve the local population better can also be used in generation of revenue. Why must it be these white elephant projects? ![]() |
franugo:But this same you required that PIDOM first expose himself to you just because, abi? ![]() Don't bother responding, abeg! ![]() |
Timmi:1. that statement has no real meaning given that no one's right is defined as dependent on that of others. Please, only make that ridiculous statement only when conversing with low-IQ beings such as you find in Nigerian beer parlors. ![]() 2 . Intentional obstruction of movement of others is not a right. However, protesting is a right of everyone, even if it results in slowing down movement of traffic and motorways. Just as you have a right to be on that road, those protesters also have the same right. If in exercising their right even as you exercise yours top, traffic is reduced, that isn't a crime against the protestors nor a reason why their right to protest should be revoked. ![]() Here in the States, we deal with the same. The recent DNC protest in Chicago for example caused traffic to slow down in much of the downtown area. But you know what most people did? Rather than foolishly call for arrest of protestors or demand their right to protest be revoked, most Chicagoans basically planned their lives around the protesters and avoided the areas they knew the protesters would be on. this is how it is done in parts of the world were people have learned to respect the individual rights of everyone. ![]() 3. Again, that is beer parlors foolishness! Do not repeat that braindead mantra of those who are paid by Tinubu anywhere sensible people gather. That line is on the same IQ level as the "Igbo mut Go", and "Emilokan" approach to governance. ![]() |
shivisee:Freedom of Speech is entrenched in the Supreme Law of the Land and equally at the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights which Nigeria is a signatory. ![]() 2. You say things you very well know are not true. There are more innocent Nigerians in jail than there are actual criminals who committed crimes worthy of jail terms in there. So what makes you think you and yours are somehow immune? ![]() |
shivisee:Posting unverifiable propaganda is not a criminal offense even in Nigeria. So, an arrest in such cases is actually illegal according to ↪Section 32(2) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 ↪Section 8(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 ↪and Section 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution. ![]() Also, if you condone the illegal arrest of people you like to hate, know that you or members of your family are likely to be caught in the same net as these men next. Hope you would sing the praises of your tormenters even then. ![]() |
phylshan:What is a fashion hub abeg? That looks like a hall with lots of sewing machine stations lined up. Not much to be seen in terms of storage or private space for each of the people in there so is it a training school or something? ![]() |
immortalcrown:HUH? ![]() |
ChrisblaOffurum:You mean more rubbish than was spewed during the meeting between the two politicians who met? ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDdkQF-Flg4?si=PHLSUl4R7kmC_TMW |
galantjoe:So, Ebuka Obi is become the Judge as far as whether Uzodinma is doing well or not? ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDdkQF-Flg4?si=PHLSUl4R7kmC_TMW Well, sha! The Ebuka Obi knows how to kiss arse well, after all, as the politician that he really is. ![]() |
franugo:What is your real name and address, so you are certain you are not referring to yourself here? ![]() |
tellwisdom:You and I are anonymous here on Nairaland. So you must be referring to you and me, right? ![]() |
Kaczynski:Computer fraud is only a crime if proven. But according to Muyiwa Adejobi, the Police Force Spokesperson, as of Saturday, August 24th, 2024, the Force is still investigating the allegations of computer fraud— the police has yet to land evidence to prove the allegations. ![]() 2. Whistleblowing is not a crime. Whistleblowers are covered by the Freedom of Information Act 2011 as well as the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000. ![]() |
thesolutions:↪Do you know what a right is? A Right is a freedom you are willing to die fighting for. So many Nigerians, a majority of them too afraid to fight for their right, still ended up dead anyway at the hands of those who disregarded their right as human beings. So why would you think it better to die the same way they did, to have your lights snuffed out like them without even a fight? ![]() |
OgbeniOja1:Leaving Nigeria no mean say all worries about the country no go follow you where you go. Ask millions of Nigerians who left so many years ago. To this day, na money wey dem dey send back to their loved ones and friends dey prop the economy up, and as e be so, e don dey tire dem small small. ![]() |
Timmi:1. Defamation is a civil wrong, and not a criminal wrong, and hence does not warrant an arrest without first appearing in court at least - Section 32(2) of the Nigerian Police Act 2020 & sections 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution. PIDOM's rights were violated when he was arrested. ![]() 2. Nothing wrong with being an envelope-collecting roadside pseudo-writer. There is no crime against being just that. Section 32(1) of the Nigerian Police Act 2020 insists that an allegation or charge of committing an offense has to be established by an Act of the National Assembly or under any other Law before the person can be arrested, investigated, and tried or dealt with according to the provisions of the Nigerian Police Act 2020. Basically, the Police cannot make up crimes of their own design to charge, investigate, try, or deal with a person for. They are to instead follow the Law. You also have no power to make up ideas of crime as you go. ![]() |
aylipple:According to the Police, these were allegations made against PIDOM. None of these allegations had been proven as of Saturday, August 24th, 2024, when Police Spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, came out and said and I quote, "There are several allegations leveled against the suspect, including unlawful possession, leakages of classified documents, cyber-related offenses, and others. We will do due diligence in carrying out a thorough investigation into the cases. The force will leave no stone unturned to continually enforce the law and bequeath to Nigerians a more secure nation." PIDOM has been held in police custody, illegally mind you, since he is not even meant to have been arrested on mere allegations according to the Nigerian Police Act 2020 Sections 31 & Section 32(1). ![]() 3. If you had some sense in you, you would learn your Laws and your rights because one day, it might be your turn to face these same bullies whom you sic on PIDOM. And when it comes your time to face them, there might be no mercy left to be had ![]() |
opamoses1:Even if we are to assume those are lies from him, what you pointed out are civil cases that do not warrant an arrest of any kind without a court judgment. This is according to section 32(2) of the Nigerian Police Act 2020. ![]() Muyiwa Adejobi, the Nigerian Police Spokesman who spoke on Saturday 24th, 2024, regarding the case, did not mention that an arrest warrant was issued before PIDOM's arrest. Nor did the Spokesman in fact state that PIDOM had been taken to the courts. As of today, in violation of the Nigerian Police Act 2020, the Police Force has yet to get PIDOM before a court Judge. ![]() |
Biglittlelois:A corrupt that blatantly runs its own administration against the very Constitution and laws upon which the Nation is established. Just imagine what Nigeria has become. ![]() |
madridguy:Where is your evidence of this blackmail? According to the Nigerian Police Force, PIDOM was instead arrested on allegations of Whistleblowing which is a non-criminal offence in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, the Nigerian Freedom of Informaton Act 2011 as well as the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000 provide protection to whistleblowers in both public and private sectors. So, where do you get your own accusations against PIDOM from? ![]() |
rayvelez:None of those are criminal offenses. So why should he be arrested and tortured by the people who are sworn to protect and serve the Nigerian people? ![]() |
oyatz:Do you even know your laws, let alone your rights as a citizen of Nigeria? The allegations against him — allegations made known by the Nigerian Police Force through their spokesperson — do not warrant an arrest of any kind. ∎ Section 32(2) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section 8(2)of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 clearly states that a person shall not be arrested merely for a civil wrong or a breach of contract. ∎ Section 32(1) of the same Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section8(3) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 insists that an offense has to be established by an act of the National Assembly or under any other Law before a suspect or defendant can be alleged or charged with committing said offense. Only after that can the person be investigated and tried or dealt with following the provisions of the Nigerian Police Act 2020 & Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 (except otherwise provided in the same Act). According to Muyiwa Adejobi, the Nigerian Police Spokesperson, PIDOM was arrested on charges of Whistleblowing and if you are familiar with Nigeria Law, you would know that Whistleblowers are instead protected, not criminalized by even Nigerian laws. Yes, the ICPC in fact is part of the protection formed around protecting Whistleblowers in Nigeria. ![]() The Police spokesperson said PIDOM was arrested on 5th of August.This non-criminal offense does not warrant an arrest of any kind as an arrest would violate ▶ Section 32(1) and Section 32(2) stated above of the Nigerian Police Act of 2020 , ▶ Sections 8(2) & Sections 8(3) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, ▶ as well as Section 35(1) of the Nigerian Constitution. So tell us, what court would give a warrant for arrest in a non-criminal situation? ![]() The police never said an arrest warrant was obtained before his arrest, so why make these baseless assertions given the facts that have already been revealed so far by the Nigerian Police Force? ![]() |
IAmHim1:I just don't understand why Nigerians refuse to rise up against these ridiculous ideas pushed at them by their government. ![]() In that very same country, children 12 years of age or less are allowed to be married off, but a child less than 18 is not allowed to take JAMB before the age of 18. ![]() |
Ebubu4:Dem be una slaves abi wetin? ![]() |
johnubimago:What can Nigerians do to reverse this problem as soon as possible? Would petitioning the ICPC or whatever other organization be what to do at this point? This is evil; people shouldn't sit back and take it! ![]() |
airsaylongcome:... SaturnNick: ![]() A major crime is a serious offense that can result in imprisonment for more than one year or even death. Examples of major crimes include burglary, arson, rape, and murder. These crimes are also known as felonies. Lesser crimes are called misdemeanors. ![]() |

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not a treaty; therefore, it does not have any signatories. It is a mere proclamation (like a statement of intent) adopted by the UN General Assembly, and it is not considered to be enforceable by any international tribunal. There is no law anywhere in Nigeria or in the international sphere that permits people to commit defamation and get away with it. I've explained this to you before.
