If I tell you the level of hate and disgust I have for this country, it will be difficult to adequately express it.

The fact that people are keeping quiet over all of this nonsense make it even worse, and justifies my feeling about the country and most of the evil people in it.

Where the law is flexible and amenable to abuse by any idiot who happens to have some money or influence... Where the same law can be manipulated or interpreted variously depending on the actors involved... This is beyond unacceptable.

If you talk sense, they will senselessly abuse you and curse you. Lower animals are too many in Nigeria.

dumahi:
Not "you can". I already know it can happen. My question is: Is it right? I actually need to know.

You're just trying to be cute in an obtuse way. It is not wrong to handcuff him. That is all that should matter to an objective person. To handcuff or not to handcuff is discretionary and any reasonable person will agree that power is legally vested in the police authority .

You people should stop overstepping your boundaries because of emotions and sentiments. Nigerians do it too much for God sake. Abi I should dictate to you how to do your job I know nothing about just because I don't like the tough decisions you take that your job legally backs you to when necessary?

Then cover his face coz the face wey I dey see fit terrorize the judge.

only stupid people dey support illegalities,....and they full nairaland

ElSudani:
You can be handcuffed as soon as you are arrested. You are restrained to prevent you from causing any problems.

Not in all instances...show me where it is written that a suspect / defendant MUST be handcuff ? There are instances where a suspect or defendant should be handcuffed... in case you want to know, tell me so that I can list those instances for you... at least make you learn something tonight

It is not right to handcuff, but it is right to spoil somebody name, right? He is actually a lawyer himself, theory is different from practical. He will experience what common man always experience. Quoting laws from now till tomorrow will never solve problem like this, the main thing is for you and all of us to run away from crime or crime related. Bedroom is not the same as Prisonroom. Always soak your gaari with joy and freedom while you keep blowing your grammar online, but never go near crime or its related cousins like spoiling other people's reputation for like and share or for Amazon advert. Proceed from his book may not be enough to cater for his problem.

Try and have small sense.

Why was Bello not handcuffed?!! Why didn't they handcuff and drag Bobrisky around?!! Why was Cubana Chief Priest not handcuffed?!!

I didn't see any handcuff on Okorocha, Kalu, and other top politicians and exgovernors.

Were their offenses less serious than Dele's own?!!


How can a sane person applaud selective justice and judicial bias in a democracy?!!


This nation can never move forward at this rate.

Yeah... But, it's right to escort Bobrisky, Bello, Kalu, and other corrupt criminals to court like VIPs.

Keep the word "objectivity" out of your mouth please.

ElSudani:
It's not a question of it being right or wrong. Is it legal? Yes.
I meant legal for the police, you can't just handcuff your neighbors, I don't think that is legal.

you are very slow. What is the difference between right and legal. Are you too dumb to know they are synonyms?

You too should show where it is written that suspects in custody must not be handcuffed. Most of you are one-way people. You want your views/positions to be seen as the right one yet don't want to accept valid positions of others contrary to your own.

Generally, suspects should not be handcuffed but they will be if officers believe there is a need to do so. Such as fear of physical attack.

I really don't know what gives many of you the right to be second guessing what must/must not happen in situations you were not present in and cannot fathom why certain actions were taken. Do you know Dele Farotimi personally to vouch for his conduct in custody? Nonsense.

Can't you people just respect boundaries.

Just go down the comment and see how minions living on less than a dollar a day defending their oppressors.

Is that why you are supporting defamation?

Peter Obi was at Afe babalola office today begging him to show mercy. But all of you kids online are crying about illegality when it is clearly Dele that is the criminal here

LegendHero:
Someone wey look like this man like this should be handcuffed. I even thought they will handcuff his legs too.

Make the guy no go bite the judge.

Nobody normal again for this country! Swears

Seun himself was handcuffed

You should pay attention to details when reading, you missed the part where I said there are instances where a suspect/ defendant should be handcuffed.

Respect whose boundaries ? You making a general assertion, and me telling you to justify it has nothing to do with boundaries.

Also try to be calm when responding to questions so that your bad character will not overshadow your half-baked education

Britishpea:
There are stands that warrant police to cuff a suspect... their safety, if they perceive that they might escape, court can pronounce it, or real criminals.... Dele of course can escape if he has the chance. however, every government has a way to breach the law even in the advanced countries...

well anyone who is bold enough to write the denigrating and implicating book mentioning names without restrain should be ready already for whatever that will happen afterwards... if na u dem write such things against wont you take action even if the writer was right....

as to Afe Babalola we all knew that Obj didnt respect the rule of law during his tenure and they ran thingss...Afe was the legal counsel for the govt and lawyer to obj...so...

Dele should deal with it...there is always a price to pay for being an activist

Dele never fought or ignored court orders. Yahaya Bello was "at large" and continued to avoid the EFCC. When he was apprehended, he was not only allowed to walk freely, but was also accompanied by a large number of praise singers and banger boys.

Dele, of course, "will deal with it," but remember to pray never to have a problem with a power-drunk "big man." Only then can you understand the distinction between Nigerian judges who declared a fourth candidate the winner of an election and the UK judge who sentenced Ekweremadu to prison despite your government's attempts to influence the process against a victim.

I was shocked the first time I saw a photo of former South African President Jacob Zuma in handcuffs on X. But realising that South Africans don't even consider it a big deal was all I need to know that Nigerians are a finished, mentally trapped creatures.

dumahi:
Is it actually right to handcuff someone who has not been convicted if the person is not attempting to resist arrest? By my level of legal awareness, my answer is no. Or, who has a different view on this?

It is totally wrong. Handcuffs are only to be used where the detainee has displayed an inclination towards violence or to being unruly.

He did. He ignored a bench warrant commanding him to appear before the Courts in Ekiti.

Keep the word "objectivity" out of your mouth please.

Do you know how Farotimi conducted himself in custody? I am objective because I leave the job and responsibilities of the police to them same way I vehemently resist Government agencies overstepping their mark when I have to deal with them as a businessman.

What you don't understand is that all Nigerians do what you are doing, I.e usurp the exclusive power and responsibilities of others, as you and several posters are doing here.

If it is agreed the police, using case by case discretion, have the power to decide whether to use handcuffs or not then why does this thread exist and why are you naming Bobrisky etal when you were not present to compare or contrast their behavior in custody, or during arrest, with that of Farotimi?

Even Seun Kuti shooting his mouth, did we not see him slapping and assaulting a policeman who had his hands behind him and did not respond to the physical assault?

If they arrest and handcuff Seun it will be OP and your sort attacking the police whereas you would not know they had valid reasons to do so because you don't care to respect the power the law gives them. You must tell them how they should or not do their jobs.

It is you who is not objective.

discusant:
It's never been Afe Babalola versus Dele Farotimi.
Someone highest up is extracting a pound of flesh from Farotimi.

Farotimi detests Tinubu administration like leprosy and has never lowered the microphone to show his distaste.

You people will just be saying rubbish. Was it Tinubu's name he tried to defame? Any small thing, you go deh link Tinubu to it. Was it Tinubu that directed him to write what he wrote?

Nigerians are generally lawless and so support lawlessness when it favors them or their agenda.

my joy is Baba Afe is going to the grave knowing that some of his covered secrets shady are now known to the people....so Farotimi is already a hero!!!!

mehn abeg calm down....hate the people that make the country what it is, not the country itself

SmartyPants:
It is totally wrong. Handcuffs are only to be used where the detainee has displayed an inclination towards violence or to being unruly.

And you were there to know Farotimi did not display those? Why can't some of you just respect the domain of others as you wish other respect yours? If you people really want to know why Farotimi was handcuffed then petition the right spokesperson of the police force involved.

All you lot are doing is essentially market women gossiping because you don't have the info the policemen who decided to handcuff Farotimi had to prompt the choice they made.

It is you who is not objective.

Lol... You are pretending and dwelling in self deceit.

You want to pretend that you don't know the selective justice administration system in this nation, or that it has existed for ages.

How well did Bello and Bobrisky comport themselves before and during their "arrest" that they were treated like VIPs?!!

In the first place, what judge signed the warrant to arrest someone accused of a non-criminal offense (yes, it's a civil matter that should begin and end in a court of jurisdiction)?!!

Do we pretend we don't know what happens in the circle of money and power in Nigeria?!!


Well, let's keep forming intellectual and political correctness while the Judiciary keeps being used as a tool of oppression.

When it comes closer home, I hope you will stand firm on your so called Objectivity.

Thank you.

Are you serious
You can't discern a simple reason why defamation should be treated like a criminal case and Yaya Bello fraud should be treated like a civil case !!!
