In a saner clime, he will go home with billions of naira for unlawful detention, as all the charges preferred against him are all bailable cases. Well, we are almost tilting to be a banana Republic, anything goes in my country, Nigeria.
Why should a person be detained for 28 days without charging him to court and your kind is rejoicing over it in a country with constitution.
Remember when you point one finger at someone, the remaining 4 fingers are pointing at you back. A day of retribution is coming.

Keep deceiving yourself and talking theory as if police did not seek permission to detain them for up to a month to do through investigation. Don't just talk it online, go to court or police detention where he is to fight for his freedom and remember to buy bread along for them.

When next there is a call for protest, lead segment of the protest till you are arrested by the police, then when you get there; try to go and prove you know law so that practical reform can start from you. Until you yourself gets to police detention, you can't see "saner Clime".

You will find "saner Clime" in the police detention when you get there, I think it leaves in that environment. By the time police removes your clothes, your shoe, collects your phone and throw handcuff into your hands even despite you are in detention, you will begin to see relative of "saner Clime" you are looking for.

My advice for sensible ones is to stay off crime and violent protests that can shorten your life span, gets you deformed for life or even lead to death or police net. If you are soaking gaari in your room with rest of mind, is better off than taking watery beans in police detention. House and house-arrest in police net are not the same. Be wise

Seriously are you not ashamed of yourself?

Go and get swapped for someone or when next there is a protest, please be Infront to lead segment of protest and vomit trouble till you are arrested by police, when you get there go and prove you are wiser and know constitution and your right to them. Until you make yourself specimen, no one takes you serious

■ This is you turning logic upside down...
1. The provision of the FOIA clearly advance that the primary subject has to APPLY for the information in question. Did Bristol formally apply for those information referencing the FOIA?
2. Even if he applied (obviously he did not), the same paragraph you reference stated that "...the Public Institution to which the application is made shall decide information is of a type referred to in Sections 11,12,14,15,16,17,19,20 or 21" this strongly infers that certain FOIA allows certain information to be released at the "decision" of the Public Institution.
(a) was the information released by Bristol sent to him by the Public Institution (Office of the Secretary to the Federal Government)?
(b) was the information classified under Sections 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 ,17, 19, 20 or 21?
This is how some of you display ignorance with gusto... FOIA is hidden in plain sight yet you cannot or choose to misrepresent it.

Please stop dragging us back in circles simply because you are not able to keep up.

First, the charge sheet does not state that he did not apply for the information. To apply is to request information from any of the governmental agencies through any of their many communication channels. Second, if he did apply, then the FOIA is clear on who can be faulted. So, stop flailing about arrogantly in ignorance pretending that justification can be obtained that way.

■Thanks you for this your comment. They are just out to flex muscles with the guy and nothing more.
It is a shameful thing that some people are rejoicing over Trump up charges that have no bearing in law, thereby wasting the guy and court time on frivolous charges. I don't know why they are making mockery of the system. They don't know that just activity lower the rating of our judiciary and police in the wider world.

A good number of Nigerians out there, including those abroad, don't know their Constitution, let alone their laws. The bulk of their civic education comes from the many lies they have been fed by their ignorant and equally arrogant elected officials who they construe as masters over their existence.

This your gibberish is tantamount to words of a fearful man that doesn't know the difference between right and left and lost his constitutional right. No wonder the country is tending towards banana Republic nation where things are done in opposite direction to the regular ways.
You no what, I don't blame you, I only blame your civilisation and exposure. I am cog sure in your life you've not stepped out of your enclave, so it will be a mirage if simple thing that the constitution permits are been canvassed to you.
Protest is a constitution matter that every citizen is entitle to and can be done anywhere at anytime. That some people turn the protest to violence, it is the duty of the police to arrest such individuals and take them to court to face the law and not police detaining them for 28 days. That aside, no court in Nigeria or the world at large will give you or police an order to detain a person for 28 days when the case does not border on terrorism.
Now, shove your limited knowledge to your bowel because it is not constitutionally tenable and does not flow with any international best practice in a democratic environment.

Truly speaking many of them don't know their right and they see those in government as the alpha and the omega that cannot be questioned. I read a comment of one sreamsense and I knew this your statement was true.
Ironically, many of them go to school but didn't allow school to pass through them and at it again no self development at all. They follow whatever is fed to them by their politician.

I will advise you to stop struggling to sound intelligent, it is not your forte....

Obviously your struggle at comprehension is so glaring as daylight. You cannot interpret the FOIA you quoted neither can you even situate the definition of Whistleblower in the context of the conversation.

You don't even understand the meaning of Whistleblowing/Whistleblower; do you whistle-blow a normal government process (case in point an application by the office of the SGF for funds) or you whistle-blow a crime?

So, stop flailing about arrogantly in ignorance pretending that justification can be obtained that way.

See twisted logic! I really overrated your basic comprehension capability...

1.

The charge sheet does not state that he did not apply for the information

? So did he apply? because if he did and he was given, why arrest him and bring him to court?
2.

To apply is to request information from any of the governmental agencies through any of their many communication channels.

- let's assume this nonsense you wrote here were to be true, where is the application Brutus made?
3.

Second, if he did apply, then the FOIA is clear on who can be faulted

- So you're not even sure if he applied or not? then on what basis will your argument make sense? Even in your misinterpretation of FOIA, he cannot even publish what is not given to him by the Agency.

Oga, you are simply Olodo. You don't have shishi comprehension capacity.

Please what concern investigative journalist with confidential information? There duty is to make finding on hidden information. If any information linked out to any journalist, the blame should go to those working in those offices and not the person doing his professional duty. Or did he go there and put gun on their head to fetch the information?

Going by your twisted logic...
...that is why is PIDO is arrested.... so that he can name those "working in those offices..." who gave him confidential information

IfnobeGod20:
You're the one displaying ignorance here. For cry out loud this guy is an investigative journalist and he is not anyway restricted to getting information no matter how hidden such information is. Any classified information he got,meaning it is not classified and those in custody of such should take the blame and not a journalist doing the work he was trained to do. It's only if he is working for such organisation and he reveal such sensitive document, then, he has breached oath of secrecy and he is liable. Before you reply me, take to cognisance the word 'Investigative Journalist'.

1. Investigative journalist is not restricted in getting information, even government classified? dey play. Even those that tried it in the US and Europe are cooling their heels in prison.
2. If you call yourself an investigative journalist, you UNCOVER and REPORT CRIMES, you don't report CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. It is for a reason people wait till those information are DECLASSIFIED before the publish it. It is a crime against the State to release classified information into public domain.

So let me give your olodo brain an assignment. If an "Investigative Journalist" got information about Nigeria's weapons development program... should he release it to public where our enemies domestic and foreign will have access to it? claiming he's doing investigative journalism?

You lot cannot even define investigative journalism.... there is dictionary.com na! use it

don't charge for investigation, free lawyer

mapet:

See logic of my fellow Nigerian. So he will be the one to tell them who gave him the information or they will go and put their house in order, so that sensitive information won't be able to leak next time.
Mr. Man, he is not at liberty to reveal his source of information as an investigative journalist, that is why many at times in their article you read from anonymous this or that. The identity of their informant must be protected by law. Except you wish to state that he got the information at gun point but if not the law shields him to protect his informant identity as an investigative journalist.

Mr. Man, when you say an information is confidential or classified, should such information not be classified. If such information is now found at the public domain, please what is the fault of those that has it outside the office that that information suppose to be classified and kept till it is declassified?
Don't you think those holding on to the information in those offices should be held responsible for leaking such classified information to the public rather than those in possession of the information?
You can only be held responsible by the oath of secrecy if information at your disposal that suppose to be classified is seen in the public domain. That it leaks out, those in that office should be the first target of arrest for releasing information at their disposal to the public without express permission to do so. But arresting a person authorised by law and doing his professional job as an investigative journalist is out of place because he is a third party to such information.
I won't attack you because I discovered you have a limited knowledge of what we are discussing here, so I won't go down low to your level by throwing around abuse as you do to your comment here. Next time I will report you for breaching Nairaland rule. Comment and don't throw around abuse.

Your number two point is laughable. Is it only crime that an investigative journalist should report? Please where did you get that information from? Even a secret service doesn't dwell on information on security alone.
