I don't think what you do with your girlfriend has anything to do with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but disturbing the peace is a crime, which is likely why the people were arrested. They can go sue for false arrest since false arrest is at least unconstitutional and illegal in Nigeria.

It's at least unconstitutional according to Chapter 1 Part 1 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

2. (1) Nigeria is one indivisible and indissoluble sovereign state to be known by the name of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Agitation for succession is a crime whether you are Yoruba or Biafra or Ipob.

Nairaland Says No To Secessionists

The allegation was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the group's Media and Communications Secretary, Maxwell Adeleye.

Adeleye said eyewitness account had it that the Yoruba activists arrested, were conveyed in a Black Maria to the Headquarters of the Ogun State Police Command in Abeokuta.

He gave the names of some of those arrested as Wasiu Iyanda, Makanjuola Adigun, and 23 others.

The statement read, "This is to let the general public know that the centrally-controlled officers of the Nigerian Police have arrested 25 of our comrades as they were preparing for the Pro-Yoruba nation's rally scheduled to hold today in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

"The arrested Yoruba patriots were picked up in a commando-style in front of the Alake Of Egba's Palace in Abeokuta, the state capital, by over 200 Armed-To-Teeth Officers of the Nigerian Police.

"We want to put it on record that those arrested did not commit any crime. Instead, they are being vilified and harassed for exercising their rights to self-determination and peaceful assembly.

"We at Ilana Omo Oodua, renowned for peace and respect for the rules of law, are demanding the unconditional release of our members with immediate effect or else, there will be mass action against the Nigerian Police across Yoruba land commencing from tomorrow.

"We also call on the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, to ensure that his state is not used to oppress the Yoruba people in any manner.

"We want the governor to remember that whatever happens today becomes history tomorrow."

Mandella was not a saint, but he chose the path of freedom for majority of his people and he remained firmly on that path!!
Worse was done and said about him!
But at the end, he achieved the dissolution of Apatheid..and he became a hero to majority of his people..and even to Africa..

But you that is a black man is trying to demoralise a fellow black man who is seeking freedom and justice for his people who are been raped, murdered, pillaged and made refugees..

How wicked and evil can some Blacks be!!
I won't be surprised if you're even his fellow Yoruba man hiding behind this faceless forum to criticize him.

Gani has chosen the path of freedom, and if he achieve it history will forever remember him.

Will they pay? that is the problem, even the officer who raped her must have been a senior officer, instead of them investigating the man now as directed by the court, they will start their useless games, but God will punish them if they try it.

An identified civil servant working in a top Government's executive office could stand surety for a radical islamic extremist turned Bokoharam terrorist founder, in same manner a serving senator stood surety for an IPOB terrorist founder.
From the North to the East, these two terrorists groups have been causing untold destructions, pains, deaths, catastrophes of unquantifiable proportions to lives and properties of the Nigerian people.
It's higly satanical that some highly placed individuals in the corridors of power are sympathetic to extremist ideologies for religious or ethnic reasons at the detriment of the country.
I think I would have to approach the court of law for an injunction to stop the Government deducting my taxes and other levies.
My taxes cannot be used to pay salaries of extremist sympathizers in government institutions.

Pantami: Documents show Sultan of Sokoto lied against Jerry Gana on Boko Haram leader Yusuf’s bail

“Since the perpetrators are bent on deliberately destroying the character of Prof Gana, he has briefed his lawyers to commence legal proceedings against all the individuals, organisations, and

The Sultan of Sokoto Sa’ad Abubakar’s claim that Jerry Gana, a former Nigerian minister and prominent Christian leader from the Middle Belt, had ties with Boko Haram and facilitated the bail of its late leader, Mohammed Yusuf was false, documents reveal.

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), led by Mr Abubakar, earlier released a statement absolving Nigeria’s communications minister, Isa Pantami, of alleged ties with terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Boko Haram and terrorist like Osama Bin Laden.

Mr Abubakar’s group alleged that Mr Gana bailed the late Boko Haram leader on three different occasions, demanding that the former minister be interrogated for backing a terrorist group rather than Nigerians criticising Mr Pantami’s extremist views.

“It is pertinent here to ask the CAN National President that between Honourable Minister Pantami who engaged the leader of Boko Haram in debates against his wrong and misguided ideologies and that Christian Minister who bailed Muhammad Yusuf three times who is it the country should rightly accuse of being a friend, supporter or member of the extremist group -Boko Haram?” NSCIA said in its statement.

Mr Gana was accused of bailing the Boko Haram leader out following his arrest in 2008, reports at the time said.

But police spokesperson at the time, Emma Ojukwu, said it was the court that granted Mr Yusuf bail and not the police or the influence of an individual.

However, the former minister refuted the claims in a statement released on Thursday by his media aide Adakole Ijogi, describing it as “mischievous, misleading, and malicious.”

Asserting that Mr Gana did not bail the late leader of the terrorist group out nor had any links with him, the statement said, “Evidence available in the public domain, clearly shows that the late Mohammed Yusuf was granted bail in an open court that sat in Abuja in 2008/2009, where one Ahmed Ibrahim Suleiman, then an Officer in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, stood surety for Mohammed Yusuf as contained in the attached bail document.”

Mr Gana’s statement added, “The said document reveals the identification, state of origin, residential address in Abuja, status in the federal civil service, and even his letters of appointment and promotion. Therefore, Prof Jerry Gana was never part of the process and obviously could not have bailed Mohammed Yusuf.”

The document obtained by Peoples Gazette showed that Mr Suleman, who worked in the Accountant General of the Federation’s office as of 2009, paid N350,000 in the bail application for the charge against Mr Yusuf.

According to the document signed on January 15, 2009, Mr Suleman described the late Boko Haram leader as his teacher.

“It is important to note that this same falsehood was first published in 2009 about the time Prof Gana was deeply involved with other statesmen and women in the effort to facilitate a smooth transition that led to the emergence of Dr Goodluck Jonathan as President in 2010.

“It reappeared in 2014 when Prof Gana was engaged in the process of 2015 presidential election; published again in 2019 when Prof Gana was participating in the presidential election, and now in 2021, at the news of his recent return to PDP. With this trend, the intentions of the perpetrators and their sponsors are no longer hidden,” Mr Gana’s aide explained.

The former minister, while expressing his disappointment with NSCIA, disclosed that legal proceedings had commenced.

“We are surprised that a highly placed organisation like the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) would allow itself to be associated with such unverified and totally untrue insinuations,” the statement said, adding that “since the perpetrators are bent on deliberately destroying the character of Prof Gana, he has briefed his lawyers to commence legal proceedings against all the individuals, organisations, and media platforms involved in circulating this despicable falsehood.”
