Are you guys not in court?

You fell cheaply for a trap set by Sowore.

They should have just ignored that video of him commanding police officers to leave the road.

Now dem don go swallow bone wey no gree go down and still no gree dem vomit.

And just as Sowore rightly stated, that PRO should not be found any where near serious business
The court case is a different one. Wise up.

I know Sowore just want to be in the news so the grants will keep flowing.

They have created a dangerous precedent. If I were Mr. Egbetokun, I would've respectfully rejected the unjust tenure elongation. Without being told, it's obvious that he knows that he is in deep crisis of legitimacy which affects his confidence and the respect he deserves from policeman under him.

Besides, such blatant illegalities rarely end well for the beneficiaries.
Did you read the statement by the Police at all.

We have the highest police officer appointed as IG while they are nearing retirement, they get to leave before making any reasonable impact. In 2020 the National Assembly thought it wise to change this.

What precedence are you taking about. It’s either we have it like this or you select a junior officer as IG. The implication will be for senior ones to be put to forced retirement.

Which is better.

The law was amended since 2020, Sowore knows but will want the gullible obidense to be deceived

Yes you are right.
He is quoting the law.
The Law that is always amended out of nepotistic and tribal interest.
A law that is being amended by every new president just to make sure his fellow tribes man is in office to protect his interest.

Pls what is Sowore headache with IGP, is this our priority now? Will his talking make Tinubu to remove the IGP? To be honest this is just pretty nonsense, he is not fighting for petrol price, price of bag of rice etc he is fighting IGP who have nothing to offers anyone or put food on anyone's table.

Sowore I'm sorry to tell you I'm suspecting you are using this to cash out because its absolutely irrelevant to Nigerians problems right now.
Keyboard warrior, when Sowore was leading protest you are in your house sleeping now you are here typing undecided

Lets be frank here airport road block is very bad imagine someone on 5min to flight to be unnecessarily delayed .. FACT is the intention is to extort people based on their frustrating situations... Imagine missing your U.S flight ... When police is requesting 50k bribe to pass... Somehow you will painful cough out that money and curse police & Nigeria as you go.

Everybody is a victim ... One day it will be your turn .


As for IG . There is civil service act for 35 yrs and 60 yrs . Then another another section for tenure of 4 yrs .. simple common sense will tell even toddler that this 4yr tenure is valid subject to service act... Any otherwise can be challenged in court...

There is reason for that service act let other officers come up promotion .

Since sowore is not fighting for price if petrol and bag of rice, what has stopped you from fighting for them?

Does Nigeria really have law?
We are like a country without any written constitution, the only constitution obeyable is the one instituted by powerful men in the corridors of power.


You and I know who the real mentally densed are or the idiots. Now that the police service commission has order retirement of police officers above 60 years. Eventually oga IGP may be affected with time. He is now above 60. Lest I forget, this is Nigeria it may never happen.

It's your right to Ask for Police Support , It's their Duty Quite Unfortunately the System is Porous where Nigerians sees Police as Small god where u have to be on your Knees to ask for their Work ...

You have nothing to teach me about Public Service rules. Check previous IGPs like Okiro and Onovo. Even the immediate IGP Alkali, didn't complete 4 years. If Buhari had amended the law to give him 4 full years, Egbetokun would have retired before Alkali. This is blatant injustice; and severe corruption of the Police and the public service at large. It will not age well.

This place is one huge crime scene..

You only need to look at everyone in leadership in the country

If the Stay in Office is legal, that's because the law was changed to accommodate the ambition of one man..

Why ruin the country this way.. how does a country go forward with all these absurdity, impunity and injustices..

You have changed the law to make it legally right, but is it morally right to keep a man in office above the retirement age?! Can anyone or act be bigger than the Constitution of the country?!

Looking4Trouble:
Anybody wey wan die, make e die. Emilokan JAGABAN is the Commander-in-Chief. He decides who goes and who stays. If you don’t take your time you all, Emilokan JAGABAN will start signing different Executive Orders like Dump Donald Trump, after all we are practicing Presidential System copied from USA.

And once JAGABAN signs Executive Orders, nobody will override it like Trump orders because the current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Kudirat Small-Tiger is our girl.


So you all should not over stretch your luck. JAGABAN knows how to use power. Egbetokun will be there till after supervising 2027 elections
JAGABAN can wake up one morning and sign an Executive Order to destroy your village and nobody will override it.

Agree? grin
