And how does an alleged threat amount to an attempt?

Before you reply check your dictionary to learn the difference between a threat and an attempt.

Threat to life? that's is even enshrined in the fundamental human right Article 2, read it up
NB, if we were a Gun carrying country and someone threaten to blast you and they are armed you reserved the right to shoot them citing you felt fear for your life

erico2k2:
Answer WITNESS

why did u bring witnesses?

That's how this gender behave if they want to get you into trouble is to provoke you to harm them by dragging your shirt or coming close to you to shout at you

why did u bring witnesses?

Cos if I was in her shoes thats the only proof I will have to discredit the case filed by the police. I will bring like 20 witnesses ranging from doctors to lawyers to teachers and runs girls plus one politician
Una dey suprise, we al dey here dem slap police nothing happen, even police dey help carry bag and rice for party that year

The anger of a Nigerian woman can burn down a country. She most likely a divorced, single embittered feminist, chased out of her husband's house by an act of infidelity. Kudos to the gentle police officer for his maturity. The woman would smell her yansh in jail.

If she is 'well connected', nothing will happen.

erico2k2:
Be realistic, it does not capture the full picture hence its not conclusive. I have seen videos thrown out of court cos it does not capture clear picture or not recorded according to the law even though its glairing in the face.

When you're charged for assault, it is the evidence of such charges that is required to nail you. There is no justification for violence especially on an officer.

Let me ask you, what else are you looking for in the video? That the policeman say he was going to shoot her? Even if you find that part, you need to know a serious crime has been committed already.

The police can even claim he said so to scare her when she became violent and aggressive but that doesn't even matter because that wouldn't be why they are in court.

If she feels offended by what the officer said, she would have to file her own case in court.

Article 8 of what??

udemzyudex:
Say the same thing back to her if you can't keep calm or walk away.

Okay. You don't condone physical attack in any way. Good.

erico2k2:
I have come to Nigeria to give expert witness statement B4 when someone was trying to claim damages etc, and also for other maters so I'm well inclined of how it works. Court cases are recognised at places of work so ur employer is obliged to give you the 2 to 5 hours needed.

Not disputing that, witness summons are served when necessary. The fact that you came into Nigeria, according to you, to stand as a witness would entail a personal or official related matter. The video posted is an unplanned event. My stance is, how many people from the footage would want to leave their individual activities to go to court, knowing the time crunching scenario. For them to be legit witnesses, the have to accompany the Auntie to the police station, where the will make statements as witnesses to Auntie. The question is, how many folks would wanna sacrifice this time for who is not related to them?

oladipuposadeeq:
it's a complex question because it depends on the man's mood at that point in time because it would take an extra form of wisdom for a frustrated man to keep calm when he is been assaulted or abused by a female. I have reacted when a lady insulted me and it wasn't funny at all because it later backfired on me.

Lmao. Ko le to gbogbo eleyi, sir. If you think altercations are complex, why did you not give the same excuse for this lady?

Should a man remain calm when a lady insults him - yes or no? Because these are your words. You said the lady ought to have remained calm and not attack him. So do you believe a man should remain calm too if a lady insults or threaten him in any way?

Bro you taking it the wrong way, DO they have to be there? This is what I meant by plucking witnesses from thine air! The only way for the police to eliminate that possibility is to take Arial clip at the time of the event which I'm sure they did not!
If I say I am there and you say I am not there its ur word against mine, however if I can give a good account of the event of the day plus add some of yours to my benefit I would have proven beyond reasonable doubt that I was there, You gerit?
These will form what they call Agreed facts in Law.

Article 2 of what?

Human right Law.Right to life

SmartyPants:
Okay, but what instrument are you quoting?

Article 2: Right to life
1. Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life intentionally save in the execution of a sentence of a court following his conviction of a crime for which the penalty is provided by law.

2. Deprivation of life shall not be regarded as inflicted in contravention of this Article when it results from the use of force which is no more than absolutely necessary:

in defence of any person from unlawful violence
in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent the escape of a person lawfully detained, and
in action lawfully taken for the purpose of quelling a riot or insurrection.

Jail loading.. I like the calmness of the police man.. She go know how far when she see cell..

she think say na her husband whey she dey beat for house

erico2k2:
Calm down, pulling on the Uniform is not a serious assault does not even fall under GBH. answer this, has she been arrested? Is she in one cooler like Ice Prince?

I'm calming down bro You said tugging on the Uniform is not an assault, if I may ask, what charge is admissible in this instance
I can't state that she's been arrested but common sense will vindicate us to assume that she will be certainly taken into custody since video has gone viral.

You think the court is a joke and proving beyond reasonable doubt is just a cliche.

udomma1005:
Baba calm down leave naija police abeg! Dia oga dey heat dem, government dey heat dem, boko dey heat dem, known Gunmen dey heat dem. Some of dem might indulge in substances to calm down. No go talk some kind things wen dey head heavy, abeg. We still love and don't wanna lose thee!

Lol thanks

undisputedKOC:
Even before I opened the video, I already knew it would be an Igbo woman. Very wild uncouth animalistic anyhow set of primitive barbarians just like that Uju Anyan psycho. I hope she ends up in prison where she deserves. God bless Ijaw women, always classy and beautiful anytime, anywhere.

So many stupid tribalists in Nigeria.

Whipped dog! What do you know about morals

Soon the evil you support will end you. Buffoons like you is why Nigerians can't even feel free in their own country. I bet you're one of those idiots who supported the shooting of unarmed protesters during Endsars. Moronic citizens who have no clue what human rights entail. Your whole education, which I doubt you underwent anyway, is a big joke. Totally useless!

Again, the evil you support will be the end of you.

I don't gerit! But this is my playground sire, so I know my stance. As I state now, prove me wrong with substantiate authority, in criminal cases heard in courts here, all witnesses that wish to give evidence in connection to the case at hand, in court, must make statements to the police either as prosecution witnesses or defence witnesses. Nobody bounces into the court room to testify as a witness!

SavageBoy:
Why is nobody asking why the police officer said he will shoot the woman?

Probably because everyone with a functioning brain knows there’s no credible reason for the policeman to have threatened to shoot her.

E go be your turn one day sha

its better for the man to remain calm so far na still insult but when the lady goes ahead to put her hands on the man then she is inviting something else. Hope I have answered your question now

No. Not satisfactorily. I did not mention physical contact so it wasn't necessary for you to mention that. Let's try again.

Should a man remain calm if a lady insults or threaten him?

My question is, what is the name of the instrument you are quoting?

Also, can you distinguish between a mere threat to harm you, which at law is mere assault and carries little to no punishment, and an attempt to actually harm you, which at law is battery and carries a stiff penalty?

Have yoh also ascertained the veracity of the assertion that he said he would gun her down?

Have you also questioned what would make a poloce man randomly threaten to use his gun? Was he acting in self defence?


These are the real legal issues. Don't quote laws you don't understand.
