Justification, Fair Comment, Privilege (Absolute or Qualified) and 'True Statement' are all defences to an action for Libel.

I expect Reno to get himself a good lawyer who will waltz through this case. Apart from relying on Justification and Fair Comment as defences, I also expect Reno to counterclaim.

A man standing trial for Treasonable Felony and who was caught on tape, ordering his people to unleash mayhem on a state of the Federation, has no reputation to protect in the first place.

If you claim Mr. Obi ought to wait for the court before making any declarations, why did you not wait for courts pronouncements on the issue before embarking on a demolition process.

Also, how is Mr Obi wrong in the sense that every demolition must be proceeded with a court order which ought to have been presented to the property owner before the demolition exercise.

The actors could not provide any court order or demolition order nor knew their principal, yet you claim being right ? I am not an obidient and do not desire to be one, but atleast communicate truth please

What other documentation do you require, apart from the judgement and enrolled order(s) of court?

Did Peter Obi's 'brother' seek leave to appeal against the judgement as an interested party? Or better still, did he apply to the trial court to set aside the judgement on grounds of fraud, misrepresentation, lack of fair hearing, concealment, etc?

If none of the above scenarios have occurred, then no Jupiter can stop the execution of the judgement and resultant order(s).

Politics › Re: FBI, Others To Release Tinubu's US Probe Reports On May 2 by legallysly: 7:13am On Apr 30, 2025*

owobokiri:
Our oil wells and gas fields will now be dashed away to the Americans in bigger quantities as bribes by Tilimgbu, just to force them to keep quiet and keep the docs in the deeper parts of the drawer.. They have got him exactly where they want him; the balls. He committed the crimes he accepted the penalty, they have the details, and he does not want those details out. Perfect scenario for the manipulation of an African president.

This is what happens when the western world succeed in forcing a very compromised candidate on an African country as the president. They more or else get what they want by constantly reminding him that they uave what it takes to torpedo his political career. He will be blackmailed, manipulated and intimidated into agreeing into all sorts of arrangements just to keep his dirty secretes away from the baying public.

In Criminal law, one is not guilty of an offence unless and until both the mental and physical elements are established. This principle is well expressed in the latin maxim, 'actus non facit reum nisi mensit rea'. He never faced a trial before a jury in any US court so the question of his guilt does not even arise. It is often said that it is better for 99 guilty individuals to bet set free than for one innocent person to go to jail. Criminal allegations are taken very seriously and there will be no conviction unless they are proven beyond reasonable doubt. To do that, in a case of drug possession with/without intent to sell/distribute, you must not only show that the criminal act was carried out, but that the person who is alleged to have carried it out, intended the natural consequences of the act. I have taken time to explain this so that we can appreciate the intricate process that leads to a conviction.

In Tinubu's case, the process adopted was an 'assets forfeiture' because some of the money in his account was suspected to have emanated from suspicious sources, likely narcotics. He claimed the money was not his but for his friends and same was forfeited. There was no formal trial with a jury and a judge where the prosecution would have been expected to prove, BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT, that he was a drug dealer or drug lord (as our Obidient friends like to say) and as such, it is wishful thinking to expect anything damaging from the so called reports (portions of which will be redacted anyway).

To establish that a crime has been commited, anywhere in the world, hard facts are needed and not fickle emotions.

Some have also wondered why Tinubu hired lawyers to oppose the release of the records. Was he supposed to make it easy for them? People need to understand the personality of Tinubu. He is a very patient man and an expert at playing the long game. He watches as his opponents eventually tire themselves out from repeatedly running up slippery hills while he silently carries out his reforms and prepares for 2027.

It is unlikely if the records will reveal anything new. However, the anticipation of their release has kept the opposition pitifully hopeful and distracted as usual.

Man some of you are just educated !d!0ts.
What do you mean by "Illegalities were being committed" . illegalities like what?
If you cannot even pinpoint the financial crime which he was suspected of comitting or trying to comitt, then where is the "intelligence" .
"Reasonable suspicion" needs to be based on verifiable information or specific and articulate fact, not unparticularised suspicion or a hunch, otherwise I could wake up and suspect you of assassinating Bola Ige or being a rapist.
After an illegal breaking and entry the EFCC is now beating about the bush, coming up with all sorts of cock and bull allegations and fishing for evidence, none of which are related to any financial crime or within its jurisdiction .
I wonder if you people realise how you sound sometimes

First of all, the illegality or otherwise of the raid is yet to be established. I will suggest that you wait until this is done before jumping to such a hasty conclusion. Be that as it may, any evidence recovered during the raid is admissible (as long as it passes the tests of admissibility). Are you suggesting that if illegal weapons (or a laptop laden with damning evidence of fraud) are recovered during an illegal raid, the court will return the weapons to the subject of the raid simply because of procedural irregularities? Certainly not! The only major ground upon which the procedure will be faulted (possibly by a higher court) is where there are inconsistencies between the evidence recovered and the evidence tendered ( such as where the proof of evidence suggests that 2kg of cocaine was recovered but only 500g is tendered or where it cannot be established that the incriminating items were recovered from him).

And there is no need for insults. Resorting to insults so quickly may suggest that you are not equipped for the intellectual discussion you have thrown yourself into.

The law does not concern itself with sentiments. It concerns itself with cold hard facts and the application of statutory provisions and precedents to the established facts. Where the prosecution successfully proves that he was into illegal activities (the allegation appears to be that he is a cyber criminal) , the onus is on him to debunk these allegations in the way and manner prescribed by the law. The question of whether or not the raid was illegal will not prevent his prosecution where it is shown that there were reasonable grounds to suspect him and that evidence was recovered during the raid to support same.

In addition, if it can be shown that they had indeed requested entry before he fatally shot one operative and injured another, then the charge of culpable homicide punishable with death will be added (although manslaughter appears to be the more viable outcome since it may be difficult to prove that he intended to kill the operative who lost his life. He can also claim that he shot out of fear for his life or in self defence)

Ogbeni.. in saner and civilized climes, evidence obtained thru false or illegal means such as unwarranted breach of privacy, breaking and entering without search warrant signed by a competent court of law wire tapping, entrapment etc can't be be used or admissible in a competent Court of Law. Nigeria has so much bastardized the Judicial system..we start seeing illegality as norm.
Was the accused at any time invited by the Agency? Was any investigation carried out on him?
I can bet my left balls no..
So in usual brigand style, they targeted their victims, they scaled the fence like thieves, barging in without announcing their intentions.. and you expect a family man armed with a licensed weapon not to protect his family?
EFCC has nothing on this man..and they know it . They were caught pants down and their feeble retort on X shows it.
The ranting of the NMA is a typical denial reflex of Associations in Nigeria..there no biggie about it.
Let the accused get a good lawyer and watch the case torn to shreds .
Highest charge is involuntary manslaughter..
Shikena

It is not in all cases that a warrant is needed to arrest a suspect. Where it is reasonably believed that the person is in the process of committing a crime (or has already committed one), the officers can very well move in and arrest.

Quite naturally, if their information turns out to be untrue, the suspect shall, in turn, have the right to sue the EFCC for a number of violations (especially Fundamental Rights).

On the whole, sting operations and 'busts' are not desirable in advanced climes but any useful and relevant evidence elicited during such raids is generally admissible once the 3 tests of admissibility are passed.

All that the super lawyer you keep talking about can do is attack the 'weight' that the court may attach to the evidence.

His self defence tactic will only avail him if he can prove that the actions of the EFCC operatives put him (it will help if he also had loved ones at home with him) and his family in a state of reasonable fear or apprehension of serious bodily harm or death.

As for the gun, was it licensed to him personally? Is he authorised to even own a gun talkless of firing one?

what are you people smoking. We know Nigeria is a jungle but how do you enforce the law by breaking the law. An act that is illegal in itself cannot be perpetuated as "law enforcement ". otherwise it would defeat the concept of "rule of law" . it would be okay to commit murder in the process of acquiring evidence for a tax evader for instance.

The question is
What were they doing at his front door after scaling the fence at 3am?
Was there a warrant for his arrest?
Was he wanted for any offence ?
Clearly they didn't knw him frm Adam.
Being law enforcement does not grant u unrestricted access to private property.

Why not get acquainted with the Nigerian Criminal Justice system first before unleashing emotional vituperations?

Law accommodates no sentiments.

He can be arrested if he is reasonably suspected of having committed an offence. In this case, the EFCC's story is that its intelligence reports suggested that illegalities were being committed in the building.

Why not let us have ALL the facts before condemning the EFCC or the man now alleged to have committed murder?

His job or profession is a different topic for now.

The first thing is to establish whether the raid was lawful or unlawful.

It matters not whether the raid was unlawful.

Whatever was recovered in that raid is admissible as evidence (once it passes the tests of admissibility).

If they've found enough to charge him for cybercrimes, drug trafficking, etc, the mode of acquiring the evidence will not matter.

As for the so called act of 'self-defence', the court will consider if the reaction was equal to or proportional to the act that precipitated it. Did they break down his door? Did they force themselves in? Or did he just fire at them after he had seen them on his CCTV?

Unauthorised and illegal raids are undesirable but that does not make the evidence acquired during such activities irrelevant.

Now that the NMA has come out to disown him, the plot thickens.

This is the kind of bad PR the government does not need at this point.

Whether the defendants are children or not, they should be treated as human beings and not cattle. Like most well meaning Nigerians, I consider it a tragedy of epic proportions that we appear to have created a system that makes a 13 year old uneducated orphan a potential killer or armed robber who is vulnerable to the whims and caprices of Nigerian politicians and troublemakers.

It may indeed be true that the defendants who were arraigned yesterday were among those who nearly destroyed the North some months ago. It may also be true that among them are cold-blooded killers who are more likely to stab you than say good morning. However, nothing justifies the obviously deplorable living conditions to which they have been subjected by the Nigeria Police. It is a clear recipe for disaster and you can be sure that the opposition will make a mountain out of this mole-hill. I expect the images of the kids from yesterday's proceedings, who passed out (whether staged or not), to become a part of Nigeria's SM network well into 2027 and a heavy albatross for this Administration to bear.

The Federal Ministry of Justice should (in furtherance of the AGF's order) apply to remove the minors from Police Custody, once the court is back in session for the case, and instead have them detained at Juvenile detention centres. The Nigeria Police are not exactly known for their empathy and I fear the prosecutors still see themselves as more of Policemen than Lawyers.

On the whole, while the police might have concrete evidence to show that some of the minors committed the crimes (which would be almost 100% conformation that we have a potential breeding ground for international terrorist bodies in Northern Nigeria), they are still innocent until proven guilty and their malnourished appearances in court could just be the connecting rod that the desperate opposition politicians need to turn the tide against a complacent Administration.

Turks are predominantly Muslim, but it's more unlikely that you'll see a Turkish man marry four wives in 2024. The average Turkish lady doesn't give a fvck about the Hijab.

Here are the answers:

1. Religion and culture are intertwined.

In Nigerian Catholic churches, it's unlikely that women will wear trousers to church, but in Rome women attend mass with baggy shorts.

2. A less-educated society interprets Religious materials more stupidly than an educated society

Compare the thoughts process of an African Christian to an American Christian and then that of an American Christian to a Christian in Western Europe. The results will improve upwards.

It therefore follows that a less-educated and less-intelligent society will interpret the Quoran and hadiths more stupidly.

You are very correct.

Otuocha! The snake is the extremely venomous Echummili (Igbo for Forest cobra).
There are several different subspecies of forest cobra with some having white or yellow bands on their bodies.
Cobras as whole are among the world's most venomous snakes, with extremely potent neurotoxic venom which attacks and paralyses the nervous system, especially the areas controlling breathing and heart function.
The most venomous snakes on earth all possess neurotoxic venom and include also tiger snakes,brown snakes, bushmaster vipers, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake,Sea snakes,Death adders.
To be bitten by any of these snakes is an automatically generated death sentence with death occuring in minutes without immediate response.

It is scary how some of the snakes you mentioned though highly venomous, are not even in the top 8; apart from the Sea Snakes (which rarely bite humans), Death Adder and possibly, the Tiger Snake.

The Inland Taipan, Coastal Taipan, Eastern Brown, Red Bellied Black Snake, King Brown Snake (its venom is not particularly potent but it repeatedly pumps its victims full of venom leading to hypertoxicity) Russel's Viper, Saw Scaled Viper, Boomslang and the Mambas (especially the Eastern Green Mamba and the Black Mamba) are the deadliest snakes to humans. The King Cobra (not a true Cobra) does not possess venom that is as toxic as that produced by the deadliest snakes, but like the King Brown Snake, it compensates for this shortcoming by overloading its victim with enough venom to kill an elephant.

Taipans, Mambas, Brown snakes and some cobras (especially the Phillipine Cobra and the Caspian Cobra) might be able to 'flatline' a human being in less than 1 hour.

Even the Monitor lizards that we love to eat are mildly venomous and can cause low blood pressure and uncontrolled bleeding.

Without guns or weapons, reptiles would have chased us off this planet.

And for those living in Australia, venomous creatures are never far away...
