The Chicago drug dealer has been funding him hence his recent shenanigans, its no wonder the forum is going down the drain lately.
oga keep quiet there, despite the fact that seun made it obvious he supported labour party in d last election n he's still supporting them till today.

Which political party enjoys nairaland post than labour party, he allows u obidient insult people at will n go Scot free with it.

U people insult at will but small reply by any other person will attract ban.

I believe seun is seeing all these now, despite everything he has done for u people that we the opposition are angry with n his bias is obvious u still believe he's working for Tinubu.

Because of how his mods frustrate we pro Tinubu supporters here, many of us have moved to Twitter just for u people to enjoy your reign here but still u believe he's been paid by Tinubu....nawah ooo

Not only that he brought chinedu here live n direct to have interaction with people n he willingly created a thread where he said ilhe gas instructed his mods to ban pro Tinubu monikers.

I was banned for good 2 years n I was just unbanned yesterday, despite all seun did for u, u people still believe he's working for Tinubu?

Haba, truly u people are insatiable.

No one can satisfy u, when news of obi agege son broke out seun didn't post it but posted d rebuttal but el rufai n Aisha yesufu n seun doesn't post anything against obi still u believe he's working for Tinubu.

I never see who wan satisfy u people

Imagine a law enforcement officer that should uphold the law is the same one breaking it.
Credit to the youths tho, if every community has been doing this we wouldn’t have had the kind of terrorism being perpetrated by IPoB and Boko Haram today

The youths have been arrested. What has been done to the officer? You might condemn the youths' actions, saying it is a mark of disrespect to an officer of the law. But, is someone that takes illicit drugs really an office of the law?

If the police commission is sincere, it would have first of all investigated whether the officer actually took illicit drugs, instead of claiming that the youths flogged the officer because the president of the youths is interested in the officer's girlfriend. Even if the president of the youths is interested in the officer's girlfriend, didn't/doesn't the officer take drugs? Have there not been other cases where the same youths apprehended and punished consumers of illicit to drugs? What exactly does the police commission want to achieve by bringing up the allegation that the youths president is interested in the officer's girlfriend?

You might condemn the youth action, calling it jungle justice. But what had the government or the police done before the youths decided to protect themselves and their community? Again, flogging is not that severe. Flogging is nothing compared to what police officers do to people everyday at checkpoints.

This is like the case of IPOB and headsmen. Herdsmen have been killing and destroying. No herdsman has been brought to book. But the moment IPOB rose up in self defense, python dance and so many other things started coming from the federal government against IPOB.
I don't think the youths have done anything wrong, unless if they flogged him while on duty. No man should be sacred. They treated all wrong-doers in the community, irrespective of their age and class and background, equally. Criminal police institution in Nigeria.

What is the Jungle justice here sir?

This operation was carried out in partnership with NDLEA, of which the drug dealers were always handed over to the appropriate authority with full jurisdiction on the matter.

NDLEA had given a go ahead on this. But some officers of the police force came to scuttle an active operation being spearheaded by the NDLEA just because a rouge officer was found complicit.

This is a punishable offence anywhere in the world.
Little wonder why our security institutions find it hard to partner and achieve tangible results.
You'd always hear cases like

NSCDC vs Police,
Police vs Army (Very common)
Road Safety vs Lastma etc

You conveniently ignored the real issue
Whether it is collaboration with the presidency or the army is not the issue
You cannot be judge and executioner in your own case
As someone pointed out, even the nigerian police force has no right to accuse you of something no matter the evidence and then go ahead to deliver punishment
This is an animalistic and cultish minsdet
Even the npf has no right to flog anybody let alone a mere community organizarion
This is how it always starts
We know them
They are part of our community

They should face the law

The right thing to do is hand them over to the appropriate authority.

The actions of the youths are highly reprehensible, unconstitutional, and a gross violation of their fundamental human rights.

They have done the right thing by being vigilant, but threw it all away by subjecting them to such inhuman and degrading treatment.
They said they hand drug dealers over to NDLEA and flog drug users.

I see nothing bad in that arrangement.

Hello Sir, judging from the write-up, this is not an accusation, he was Caught red handed alongside others. The dealers were handed over to NDLEA, the myopic consumers were flogged to serve as a deterrent.

You ask? What laws enable them to flog erring drug addicts? I'll say Moral customary laws which is tenable in any community in Nigeria and recognized by the Nigerian Law, that's why you have customary courts in communities.

Same laws that permit parents to discipline erring children by flogging and punishments. Let me remind you that he was profiled like any other member of the community. He didn't have an identification neither was he dressed in his official uniform.

The community disciplined him same way other drug addicts have been disciplined within their community according to their customary laws.

Dem no dey flog federal government pikin (police, army, youth corper etc). The junky officer should have been handed over to the nearest DPO with his exhibits and video evidence instead for orderly room trial and possible dismissal
No body has the right to assault anybody or flog anybody but the police has been doing that


What have you to say?

This is completely unacceptable. Too many uneducated people in Nigeria acting recklessness and claiming 'woke' minds...How can you justify flogging a police officer? Tomorrow, when arrests begin, the same people will start crying foul and making baseless claims
they didn't flog a police officer, they flogged a drug user. The man was on mufti

Seun if u don't want us to comments again, tell us instead of frustrating us. Because I don't understand why someone will comments, not bad comments, and u will removed the comment and still ban d person. Or are u selective in who can comment and abuse someone then go scot free.

What is there in this comments that u removed and still ban me?.

I said "God will heal this great country, then I said FTC" so why removed it and still ban me?
Honestly am also tired of the selective approach in this forum .....they allow some to make certain remark on things while take out some people's comment......He should not worry a rival forum is coming up that will make this his local looking forum redundant

You have no idea how law works.

The only evidence on the internet is a police man being flogged.
Where is your evidence that the police man took drugs
So if an officer is not on duty means you can do anything to him like beating him up, stealing his phone or even stabbing him?
Who gave you the right to perform jungle justice on people?
You bringing herdsmen and IPOB into this case shows your ignorant is complete

You are the ignorant one here. The report says the Youths caught at least 2 other people alongside the officer. It can also be proven that the officer was neither on duty nor posted to the scene of the incident.

You are biased here.
1.
I asked what the police has done to the officer for taking illicit drugs. The report does not deny the officer taking illicit drugs. If you are not biased, tell us what the police has done to the officer. Or, is it legal for officers to consume illicit drugs?

2.
Can you prove that his phone was taken by the youths? The report also challenges the police to check the bank account of the youths' president.

What if that officer in mufti was on an undercover mission? Police do this all the time. Supporting the humiliation of a police officer is wrong. Yes, our system has flaws,.... yes, most of them collect bribes, but that does not justify treating them with such disrespect. At the end of the day, we don't have any other police . This kind of humiliation has gone too far.

These are adults not children, and since you say it backed by law let them have their day with the police and the courts.
To an unbiased observer, this is a clear case of jungle justice
Everybody has right to dignity and i am sure that was breached here.
Your customary laws cannot override the constitution of nigeria
Customary laws enable a mob to flog people because they outnumber
What manner of argument is that

The courts and the 'customary law' of the police will settle it too

Welcome to a disaster about to happen.
Seun doesn't know what to do with nairaland anymore, more like Dantata couldn't think of what to do with his immense wealth.
He is like a grown man who has forgotten the excitement to be derived from playing with toys.
This is no longer a forum. It is now foreign.
But some words of consolation though; move on, it will do you a world of good.
