We will film their atrocities and put it on Netflix

It’s normal to film them is just in abnormal countries that they don’t allowing filming of police in public. If u are not filming, police most to put on body camera. Nigeria and abnormality are 5/6

My own problem with them now is that, Lagos police are always claiming the ruling does not affect Lagos

Court Upholds Nigerians’ Right to Film Police on Duty, Awards N7m D@mages for Rights Violation

The Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State, has delivered a landmark ruling affirming that Nigerians have the constitutional right to record police officers while they carry out their duties in public.

Delivering judgment on Tuesday in suit number FHC/WR/CS/87/2025, Justice H. A. Nganjiwa held that police officers must wear visible name tags, display their force numbers, and must not harass, intimidate, arrest, or seize devices from citizens documenting their activities.

The court also awarded the applicant, Maxwell Uwaifo, N5 million in d@mages for the violation of his fundamental rights, alongside N2 million to cover litigation costs.

By granting all the reliefs sought, the court reinforced the right of Nigerians to freely document police actions in public spaces without fear of intimidation or retaliation.

Reacting to the ruling, Mr Uwaifo described the judgment as a major step forward for accountability.

“This judgement has significant implications for policing standards, civil liberties, and public accountability across Nigeria,” he said in a statement shared with newsmen on Tuesday.
“The court made far-reaching pronouncements on police accountability and citizens’ constitutional rights.”

Better lawyer,if i.meet u na Large bottle of Odekwu and grilled Bush meat I go sama u

Very good

So police officers are fighting not to be recorded in public?

Oga IGP Disu, na this one you carry come.

So you want the right to recklessly and illegally intimidate and harass citizens without them documenting it..

Na wetin Tinubu wan do for him second term..

Kudos to Delta state court ruling on civil matters, they deliver justice unlike some other courts in some states in Nigeria where matters will b dragged for long time without delivering justice suffocating the oppressed with adjournment.!adjournment..!! adjournment!!! (Especially Anambra state, Nnewi to be precise)

Where are all those people arguing blindly with me over this because of the BRT lady?
People like YoungBlackRico, erad, success1smyn, TimiofAbuja

It's not the same, stop arguing this abeg.
You can film a public activity if it's in public interest, if an illegal act is being carried out or if it's to prevent an illegality.
Filming an individual carrying on his day to day activity for your own personal reward is not in public interest nor to address a crime.

Celeberation without implementation… sha try gt dat lawyer number sha because of police get ur time
U go unlock phone without argument…. Implementation is d main tin and punishment for any officer wanting…

Generally speaking, when you're in a public soace ANYBODY can film you. Simple!
Same reason you can film police, NOT because they are police, but because they're in a public space. You have no right to go into a police station, for instance, and start filming Police!

Yes it will check their excesses but be careful sha , dem fit shoot u dead o

Go to the gate of a station and start filming then, claiming it's a public space because you are outside the station or go stand on Walter Carrington crescent in VI and start filming claiming public space.
You can't even film a police officer going on his own without engaging in any activity in the name of public space. No right granted by the constitution is absolute, all comes with limit

erad:
Ok it's me!
Are you happy now?

I know!
Try to at least not make it so obvious so you can at least still fool some people

My friend, people in a PUBLIC SPACE! Is Police station a public space?
Did I say anything about absolute? Didn't I say "generally speaking"?
Anytime you're in PUBLIC SPACE where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, just know that ANYBODY can film you and there is NOTHING you can legally do about it!

It doesn't matter whether you are recording live or not, many people recorded their own death on Livestream, I have discovered this country don't give 2 forks about human life so it's best you ask for God's protection and protect yourself.

That judge will send so many people to the Hebrew sheol.

If you film me as a content creator without my consent, I'll ask you to delete it. If you refuse, I'll seize your gadgets.

Then, my good friend, you are surely headed to jail!

That’s what I’m saying, if it is live, they will know u have been killed by the Nigeria uniform men but if not live, they will kill u and bury u with your phone together and no one will know your whereabout
