Very good that the legal system is working in Nigeria.

Let anyone go malign anyone they feel like with unverifiable claims, then blame Tinubu for their subsequent arrest and prosecution.

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. undecided

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. undecided

■ this is Nigeria sir not USA...
■ I have police act with regulations 'cap p1 9', I have the Nigeria constitution and section 35(1) didn't talk about arrest of any journalist written fake news on the internet. If you want to go further I will screenshot it for you.
■ You are not in Nigeria but supporting people causing chaos and dividing us with their fake propaganda is not nice. If they are not guilty, then their lawyer should do better...
1. Those laws I referenced are in fact Nigerian in origin. undecided

2. I am afraid I am not certain what it is you are attempting to argue here. undecided

3. The only people causing chaos are those refusing to carry out due process as stipulated by the Nigerian Constitution and applicable Acts. undecided

https://x.com/SabinaNkiru/status/1828484673997087219?t=2fdPmDvPkn4WrecPkzeqCA&s=09[/quote]There is free speech but these are not journalists but rather for-hire pen pusher machineries hired by both internal and external forces to print and circulate unverified news, propaganda and lies. Nevertheless, let them and their agents sue the government for their release and see the wind that will blow to expose the cabal that sponsored them.

Does the Police post unverifiable propaganda? .... does the Military? ... does the Government? ... do the Governors? Do you not think they should also be taught a lesson? ... or is it you have an explanation?

Think first write later.

Nothing about stating any obvious. This is supposed to be a democracy where people should be taken to court if they erred not arrested and tortured outrightly. That is why I say keep supporting the evil until you become a victim of the evil you support.

The honest truth is Mr President may not be involved in such act. I stand to be corrected!
Re: 12 Journalists Detained So Far By Tinubu Government(picture) by NewHe: 12:35pm On Aug 28, 2024
Please is it Tinubu that ordered them to be arrested? They were arrested based on petition by the victims!
Why they are not brought to justice is another, thing!

The Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech, no doubt.


However, for every right there's an obligation.


To go online peddling lies about any individual just to trend is not a constitutional provision.


He who alledges must have the burden of proof, incontrovertible facts and substantial evidence to back it up.



However,this is in no way an endorsement of the government going about intimidating or gagging Nigerians from exercising their freedom of speech, a right guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution.

These are not even journalists! They are mostly pay-as-you-go bloggers politicians use. If they are journalists, by now the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) would be fighting for their release like we had during the military era. They should be given free opportunity to defend themselves in court. Criminal defamation is a serious crime, whoever tells you otherwise is setting you up for destruction, those who criminally defame innocent people have ruined the lives of many of their victims. Their victims deserve to get justice.
Isn't the bolded rich coming from YOU?!!

You don't arrest people based on petitions by victims but on evidence and established facts. undecided

2. It is the same thing. If there arrest was just, to behin with, them there would be no reason not to continue on path of due process as seems the case time and time again, would there? undecided

Most of the things Nigerians wrote in the media in the name of free press are not acceptable in any European countries. Even picking/ making calls in some areas are forbidden. But I'm Nigeria, everyone wants to claim rights blindly.
If Nigerian police is given the advantage of enforcing every bit of the laws in Nigeria as obtained in other climates. It will be difficult to know what next you will do that will land you in jail

As if those they are posting false information about don't have family members.
Should some people be allowed to destroy other people lives because they claim to be journalists?

This is the gospel truth that I am surprised most Nigerians don't understand. How can a fellow citizen rejoice when a journalist is being intimidated, especially when it's an illegal arrest. Go read on free press, and what a democratic government is all about.

If only every Nigerian know their rights and take it by force, the politicians will all be afraid and wary on discharging their duties to the country.
