I quite agree with you on the methodology adopted by the Police on that case. They often usurp the powers of our Law courts by sumarilly prosecuting and passing judgements on accused persons.

But I disagree that this case is purely a civil matter. Whilst the complainant can seek redress under the civil law, a criminal proceeding can also be conveniently instituted against the accused.

And no commentor above has said anything about the il/legality of the arrest.

Since when did it become a crime to tag a pet any name whatsoever?

Since when did it become a crime to wear the name tag or inscribe the name on the pet's skin?


This is 21st century; anyone can name their pet whatever they choose. And this is the Southwest for fnx sake not the North; I don't see how this is inciting.

Sometimes, I just wonder if Nigerian institutions are meant to serve the North -- see how the police were quick detained the man beyond 24 hours & stepped further by transferring him to a higher station.

Where the lawyers dey o, help me understand this matter abeg.

Tomjazzy2:


My dear, as funny as this may sound, the Police are empowered by law to arrest any one who does any thing capable of breaching public peace. You may want to ask how can that action breach public peace?

Now imagine if the complainant had probably out of anger, gone ahead to engage the accused in physical combat. It would have turned out bad, right?

Acts which are capable of breaching public peace are such that, amongst other things, are considered provocative.

newbornmacho:

And what does that tell you about the north? Nothing nice I believe.

Your hatred for igbo & silly love for Hausa has gotten you to become very irrational.

Look at yourself in the mirror and query your sensibilities.

Seriously naming your dog is a breech of public peace That means everyone one will be breaching the peace then. We live in a society and everyone has to be tolerant of the other, you can never always have it your way and the last time I checked, naming your dog whatever you like was NEVER a crime.
If I am a Christian and don't like listening to "worldly music" buy have a neighbor who always sings worldly music every morning passing by my house to church, in your context that is a breach of public peace cos my neighbor is not respecting my preferences right

9jacrip:


Exactly, this is if they don't end up framing the man or detaining him just to 'teach him a lesson' for Hausa.

9jacrip:


On what grounds?

Point out the crime/criminal act, please.

kelechi17:
all u trying to justify his arrest saying it was part of cosed d civil war .wat abt d Christain woman DAT was beheaded in kano u ppl are jus ass lickers ..God will surely save and liberate us ibos from all u haters

jaybillionaire:
I have driven home my points

dustmalik:

Your justification is stupid. Buhari is the president of this country. Nigeria, as a whole, is his constituency.

JohnsonOlanre:


Typical yoruba, you are afraid of provoking fulanis but East must be provoked at will.

Trut:
When has it become a crime to name a dog whatever name you like?

quintybabe:

Just an observation, throughout ur posts u kept on addressing ppl as Yoruba this or Yoruba that, yet you are using a Yoruba Monika. Quit the pretence please, why use a particular tribal name just to insult the tribe. I usually don't respond to tribal issue on NL but I couldn't just ignore your comments.

dickrider:
The igbos hatred for Buhari is second to none. How will a sane person give a dog a whole president and commander in chief's name? This is the after effect of the negative messages Nnamdi kanu preached on his useless radio. He taught most of them to disrespect the president all because of their useless biafra agitations. I suggest this man be locked up and the keys thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. This will serve as a lesson to other unpatriotic IPOB yoots who found mentorship in Nnamdi kanu. How will the Igbo's feel if one names a goat Ojukwu? Biafra will never come

Justindeco:
A guy name his dog buhari in abia state nobody report him to police, i will name my dog buhari let useless police come and arrest me.

madridguy:
Good, let him stay inside INBOX small and learn some simple lesson in hard way. This is how they bring problem upon themselves and when the jungle matured they start crying foul.

Bunch of hypocrite with hatred blood.

labamo07:
I think the dog owner lost his sanity. Yes you can give your pet any name but avoid peace disruption with your decision and action.....................

Tomjazzy2:


It's purely discretionary. Every case has to be looked at on it's merit cum facts

Mynd44:


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.

uzolexis:


stop grasping at straws just to have a case against this guy, the law is not based on emotions or morality and according to the law he did nothing wrong, PERIOD !!!!

Tomjazzy2:


Actually, the law and morality are inseparable. My elementary law taught me so.

Anyways, contrary to what you think, I have nothing against the accused. What is more, I'm not particularly happy with the way and manner the Police has handled the case thus far. Just felt I should put us in the know that the complainant indeed, has every right to seek redress legally.
