Idrismusty97: He should be arrested. Let's see what the Saudi government will do. These people think we are monkeys.The ambassador is covered by diplomatic immunity. That means he can't be arrested in Nigeria. |

CFCfan:I see. They can be prosecuted in very rare case though. I guess slapping is not one of them. This is an interesting excerpt from a Wikipedia article about "Diplomatic Immunity"; It is possible for the official's home country to waive immunity; this tends to happen only when the individual has committed a serious crime , unconnected with their diplomatic role (as opposed to, say, allegations of spying ), or has witnessed such a crime. However, many countries refuse to waive immunity as a matter of course; individuals have no authority to waive their own immunity (except perhaps in cases of defection ). Alternatively, the homehttp://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_immunity 2 Likes |

Idrismusty97: He should be arrested. Let's see what the Saudi government will do. These people think we are monkeys. You can't arrest him. He has diplomatic immunity. The only thing Nigeria can do is alerting the government of Saudi Arabia. The government can recall him and discipline him or give Nigeria the permission to arrest. That man just disgraced his country. 1 Like |

Tolexander: Why would someone come from Saudi Arabia and start beating a policeman on his official duty? He can't be arrested even if he had shot the policeman. The only thing Nigeria could do is declare him Persona Non Grata which means he's unfit to remain as the representative of the Saudi government to Nigeria. His home government is then at liberty to try him for the crime upon his arrival to Saudi. His immunity as an ambassador is non-negotiable ! 1 Like |

wesley80:I am sure you are not a security operative and as such do not comprehend security issues. I do hope you are not expecting the IG to make himself an easy target for terrorists when intelligence reports seem to suggest a buildup/infiltration of terrorists within the vicinity. Maybe you are oblivious of the fact that terrorist are purveyors of terror:imagine the impact they would generate were they to take out a key security figure like the IG. The most effective type of maintenance, my friend, is preventive. You nip the likelihood of security breach by eliminating the possible causes ab initio. |

I don't blame the ambassador. I blame the Nigerian government who allow these foreigners misbehave and feel they can go scot-free. As usual,no action will be taking on the ambassador as long as it happened on Nigerian soil. What a shame!! |

wesley80: I'm amazed no one has questioned the propriety of putting a barricade outside the home of the IG such that motorists are forced to make detours, let me guess Boko Haram? How does having barricades outside the home of every top government official solve our terrorism problems? what becomes of ordinary citizens who are and have been first line victims of previous BH attacks? Exactly!!!!!!! Suprised people are even taking sides with our rude police |

idupaul: Even if the road block shouldn't be there, it gives no one (let alone a foreigner) the right to punch our policemen who are simply following orders - doing their job! An attack on our uniform men is an attack on Nigeria! |

Bluetooth2:I hope you do not surrender your perceptible abilities to Wikipedia. Going by your assertion, the foreign diplomatic can even embark a shooting spree and nobody should restrain him since he is insulated by diplomatic immunity. Does that make sense? Diplomats are, in any case, expected to carry themselves beyond reproach. Infact, they execute a code of conduct agreement under which they are liable to uphold. Look at this instance from Wikipedia below when an Indian diplomat was even treated like an ordinary citizen in the US:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In December 2013, in the United States, Indian consular official Devyani Khobragade was detained, hand-cuffed, strip searched, DNA swabbed and held in a federal holding cell in New York. The diplomat was arrested on charges relating to allegations of non-payment of minimum/prevailing wage (as per US laws) and for fraudulently lying about the wages to be paid on a visa application for her domestic worker. India registered a strong protest and initiated a review of privileges afforded to American consular officials in India.[22] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_immunity |

My friend, I don't have that time to burn, abeg. Comparing NL with wikipedia, a veritable global information resource although with occasional flaws is laughable, don't you think? |

I have told you to stop quoting wiki as it can be edited by even a dimwit.BTW, the only incident you cited was that of the consul staff and the US has maintained that she has no full immunity as she was not the ambassador of India. There is a difference between the Saudi ambassador and the India woman on the Wiki you quoted. Perhaps, they look same to you because you don't know ! 1 Like |

The woman, going by your Alaba Market analysis, was, say, a janitor at the Indian Foreign Mission in New York and yet that particular incident led to a serious diplomatic stand-off between the State department and India. Maybe it was so trivial that it entered diplomatic lexicon as the Devyani Khobragade Incident. Oga try harder, you dey fall my hand... |
