You seem to be glorifying arbitrary arrest. A noble thing would have been to charge him to court within 48hrs so the court interpret what crime was committed

In Nigeria, you can pay police to arrest people provided you have money.

Punish for what?

It's actually business. That's all it is, crazy business.


A phenomenom swept YouTube in the late 2000s. A lot of young people in America discovered that they could make a lot of money by shooting pranks and uploading them to their YouTube channels. These prank videos gained millions of views and since YouTube paid advertising revenue to people that had lots of views, these people made a lot of money.


Many of these pranks were extremely dangerous and reckless. Some of these pranksters were actually arrested by the police. One of the most notorious pranksters was a guy called Charles Ross. He was arrested many times and repeatedly ordered by judges to stop creating prank videos on YouTube.


What this person did is one of the most famous pranks of that era. The prankster would fill a clean bottle of bleach or cleaning fluid with water or soft drink and then go to a public place to drink it while filming the reaction of people around the area.


Some other famous pranks include:

Pretending to shoot people.

Pretending to be a prisoner

Pretebding to be a ghost, spirit, zombie or some other scary character

Dressing up dogs to look like lions or tigers.

Pranking people in drive throughs.


Etc.


YouTube recently took action against some of the pranksters by making it difficult for them to make money from their dangerous videos.


The pranking wave has now hit Nigeria. Nigerians are increasingly making these prank videos and a person that goes by the name Crackhead Extra has recently become famous by posting videos that show her going to crowded markets and bus stops and shouting the lyrics of famous songs while acting like a mad person.


This guy was one of the most famous pranksters at the peak of the pranking wave in 2010. His name is Garrett Garcia and the name of his channel is Overboard Humour. He made a lot of money from YouTube back then, but he wasted a lot of it and he was badly hit by the YouTube crackdown (his girlfriend also left him). He is now broke and homeless.

Garrett did the prank in this 2011 video. He went to a supermarket, bought cleaning fluid, switched it with another bottle that he brought from home and then pretended to be drinking the cleaning fluid. (He had already planted the bottle and the camera at that spot before calling the store attendant).

Did any of the article posted here mention Onome at all? I didn't see her name mentioned so surprised she's inserting herself into the story except there's something I do not know. Correct me if I'm mistaken

Toyin Abraham reportedly arrests X user who wished her son death

[i

Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham, has reportedly arrested an X user who wished her son death.

The actress, who is facing intense criticism online following her support for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 general election, had engaged in a heated exchange with one X user identified as @Yarlo.

In the course of the heated exchange, the X user wished death on Toyin’s son. He wrote, “Your son go kpai soon.”

Toyin, in response, promised to use him as a scapegoat, to which the X user replied, “Use me as the first scapegoat.”

However, in a new development on Monday, another user who claimed to be very close to @Yarlo, alleged that the X user was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for cyberbullying Toyin Abraham.

Reaching out for help on behalf of the arrested X user, @Reedah wrote: “Hello I’m Reedah and Yarlo is my friend. Heard from his mother that he was arrested 4 days ago. I heard that the police came from Lagos to arrest him for cyber bullying Toyin Abraham. Pls any help you can render will deeply appreciate you.”

However, efforts made by DAILY POST to reach the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, via phone calls and text messages for comments on the arrest were unsuccessful.
