You're aware he has a right to name his property whatever he likes?

I do not see how the consitution argues or enforces 'home training'.

Step away from your party & politics and look at it from the angle of a private citizen being hounded for his own preference. I hope this never happens to you & yours.
He can name his dog as he likes. When such action was purposely done to provoke his neighbors which will lead to an ethno-religious crises, he has crossed the line.

This is just like me making a video showing myself tearing up and burning a Quran and saying "Hey, I bought it with my money" and not expect the DSS to breaking my effing door in

Actually the police have a case of breach of public peace if it is found that the suspect has done this to provoke his neighbors.

And yes the police can actuly hold him seeing as some criminals parading themselves as been offended have threatened to kill him if he is released on bail. He is being held for his protection.

I do not think anybody can be held for protection except the person requests for such. Being transferred to a place such as 'Elewe eran' does not look like protection in anyway.

I do not see how they can establish a case of breach of public peace here. Buhari is a name and can be pegged to anything; shop, products and pets; animate & inanimate object.

It makes the police look like it is wading into the matter to take sides with a paticular group.

I don't know anymore. We want to do democracy but we do not want to practice the perks that come with it.

Either it was purposely done or not hold no water.

Either it was done to provoke or not is also irrelevant.

The question is; does he have a right by law to do such, yes.

It is like telling another man not to live his life because it offends another.

As long as it is harmless and does not threaten the safety and security of anyone then I do not see a problem here.

So what will be protection? A 5 star hotel in Abeokuta?

Actually, they can establish a case of it if they can prove there is malice behind it. If he has been appealed to in the interest of peace and he refused, if he has been parading such in the area even after knowing that it is offensive to his neighbors.

Transferring him to a higher police command in eleweeran shows that he's not been protected. He is just been prosecuted. Without any evidence to show he is breaching public peace, the police has no reason for holding him.

Do you call making a video of yourself burning a Quran and releasing it to the public an attempt to breach public peace? If you do, this case can actually stand in court. Did you buy the Quran with your money? Yes. Is it your property? Yes. Should you make a video of yourself burning it?

If he was not so into causing distress to his neighbors, why not just name the dog that and leave it, he inscribed it on both sides of the animal and paraded it.

If there is a crises in the area and there is considerable loss of lives and property (the attackers should be proscecuted) what happens then?

Breach of peace is not an open shut case, it also have to do with the little things we do.

The same way, I will definately not be allowed to wear a black T-shirt with a huge "7" written on it in an area where Eiye boys are known to hold sway by any sane officer of the law.

Do I have the right to wear the shirt. Yes. Does that mean I should?

Why should you want to appeal to or force another man to change the name of his property because it offends you? What happened to you ignoring it or moving away from the vicinity?

Every man's satisfication is primary, offense to the other man is secondary.

Rationally, why should a name given to a pet rattle a person so much? If it does then the onus rests with the offended to find solution to his own problem.

A protection would be if he personally requested for it or he was in the geography of a possible harm (in this matter North) which does not exceed 24 hours if the person has other safe places they can be moved to -- not transferred to a higher center for criminals like Elewe'eran.

The policemen said they have seen the dog during an investigation. They only want to catch it now to present to the court which meams investigations continue.

Ordinarily, he should be released but when there is a threat to kill him which will just lead to another crises, why release him so hell can start?

No, it is not a breach of public peace only if I did it in a predominantly muslim enclave which would be the North or Arab country. If I did it in the US, Britain, South East or anywhere in SW except Iwo then there's no peace breaching here.

I do not see how wearing Ronaldo's jersey a breach of peace, whose peace? It is like saying the police cannot wear black berets because Aiyes wear it or the military police should not wear red beret because vikings & dogs wear it?

The premise of your argument for breach of peace is basically saying if anything (abstract & fluid) offends anyone then anyone should not touch it.

If this be the case then there will be so many court cases of this nature.

This is what lack of manners looks like and lack of home training. ..it is a pity no one elderly in his community had any modicum of sense to advice the kid to desist from such behavior that has no benefit whatsoever except sour inter community relations. Situations like this provides and exception that should allow states to send away agent provocateur.
I can't believe what I am reading here. Young Nigerians don't know what constitutes a crime, and are actually justifying this senseless arrest. . You know it's actually looking like it may be better to divide this country. The average IQ is so low it's comical. Let those who reason alike stay together. Gosh.

If you're well read on the pogrom & civil war, you'll know they are in no way similar.

The North is just extremely fanatic with everything & likes to have its way by violence or the public institutions.

The premise of public peace is not so abstract it is not meant to protect just the offensive party but others who might be caught in the crossfire.

Yes, the police actually stop the display of gang paraphernalia because it can lead to the same breakdown of peace.

This is Southwest dominated by Yoruba who have Hausa, Igbo & others as occupants.

If he did it in the North then that would be a purpose breach of peace.

He's on a neutral soil, there should not be any problems there.
