A Nigerian lawyer has stirred reactions online after sharing blunt advice on what to do if a partner suddenly dies in your house.
In a viral video shared on TikTok, the lawyer warned that panicking and running away could permanently ruin a person’s life, even if they are completely innocent.

Speaking in the video, he cautioned that fleeing the scene immediately places suspicion on the individual involved.

“Don’t run. If you run, it will automatically be presumed that you are guilty, and it will become very difficult to prove your innocence,” he said.

According to him, the moment someone escapes from such a situation, law enforcement authorities are more likely to assume wrongdoing, making the legal process far more complicated.

He also warned against tampering with the scene, stressing that people should never touch the body, clean bloodstains, or wipe any surface.

The lawyer explained that altering the scene could easily be interpreted as an attempt to destroy evidence, which may lead to serious legal consequences, including imprisonment.

Emphasising the importance of timing, he advised that the police should be contacted immediately once the incident occurs.

He further advised that a lawyer should be contacted immediately after calling the police to avoid making statements under pressure or saying anything that could later be used against the individual in court.

According to him, if the police arrive before legal counsel, there is only one statement that should be made.

“She passed away and I reported immediately. That’s all. Don’t say anything else unless your lawyer is present,” he added.

The video has sparked widespread discussion online, with many Nigerians describing the advice as frightening but necessary.

the only saving grace the person has ehn
is if he bought the phone from a shop and has receipt and transactions details..
the case would then move to the shop owner but you would still pay money Nigerian police must eat...

How many people have access to lawyer?

In Nigeria, if you run— you ruin your life. If you stay, police ruins your life. Just choose your poison wisely.

Na lawyer I go first call before I call police,GBAM..I pity most of you cause you guys no get lawyer but you fit carry olosho or go suck pweek everyday..

Good advice but this is Nigeria.

The way they will change the narrative within a second, you will be amazed

You will sleep in prison for more than 3 months First 😂🤣

This one just wear suit dey spill nonsense as if he doesn't know about Nigeria's criminal justice system!

It makes pretty difficult for cases like this to even be heard, especially when it involves people who have already term you guilty, and also a Police Force who don't even care about justice, but how big your pocket is.

These are the kinds of useful content we should be seeing on Nairaland, not Peller or Portable content. People who obviously have nothing to offer.

Okay.

I no go run...

I go disappear.

Doing that won't save u
U need to go to the police station and still pay like fuel money(dier motor fuel dey always finish) first, then to the dpo office to reason that mata with am and make sure u get like 500k to donate to police station(in cash is better but dpo can call pos for u too to do transfer)... Dem go visit the scene and help u plot how u go run

I will run Nigerian police will not understand me

Good advice.

But also know that with Nigeria Police, you are presumed guilty until you prove your innocence. Even when you prove your innocence, you will still have to "settle" heavily.

Remember; BAIL is FREE.

What if the guy/babe dies in his/her house during "harder baby....", what should the lady/guy do?

Omo if I no run u go still go jail any way if u no go jail u go dey pay d family members till U die

He said partner meaning it could be the male or female,
Op turn am to if Ur girlfriend died in Ur house,
Na only woman dey die?

May this never happen to me or any of my relatives.

Don't forget,police is your friend!

run ooo dont listen to dat lawyer he doesnt know nigerian police

If u like do all this and add extra ur name na oyo.
May such a scenario be far from us amen

Hezzyluv:
You call this offence ordinary?

Its ordinary offence as long as no one was killed, seriously injured or stollen at gunpoint. If none of the above happened before the phone was taken away then its ordinary

Nigerian illiterate policemen don't know all these, they will pin the blame on you.
