The police in Yobe state have arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly insulting Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, on social media.

Garba Isa, the father of the minor, disclosed this when he came out to publicly demand the release of his son on Monday, December 19. According to Isa, his son was apprehended on December 11 in Nguru and later transferred to the State Investigation Division of the Nigeria Police Force in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.

“I regret what my son did. I am nobody, an ordinary laundry man, what my son (Umar) did was totally wrong, I appeal to Governor Mai Mala Buni and the police on passionate grounds to forgive my son and release him'', Isa who is a laudry worker told newsmen.

Confirming the arrest, the state Commissioner of Police, Garba Haruna, said the minor is now in custody and will be charged to court when investigation is concluded.

“When we conclude our investigation, he will definitely be charged to court. People are using social media to insult and tarnish people’s character, the society needs to be sanitised.

You cannot use social media and begin to post all sorts of things. There is law and order in Nigeria, whoever infringes on someone’s right will be punished,” Garba was quoted as saying.

PrinceOfLagos:
I thought some Tinubu urchins said it's only Igbos that insults "Bad APC leaders"?

In sane climes, bad leaders are stoned or pelted with eggs

All APC leaders are bad leaders that deserve all the insults they get

I want them out

Northern Nigeria uses Penal code and Sharia Law instead of criminal code used in south

Under Penal code if you run your mouth anyhow they might have you arrested

Southern Criminal code doesn't really have much provisions for that

All you can do in Southern Nigeria when insulted or slandered is to go to court and file a civil case

If Kemi Olunloye was in Northern Nigeria, police would have long prosecuted her for all the lies she told on Davido and his Family

Someone listening to you now, will think you understand law.
Penal code ko, Penalty code ni

Moh247:


Atleast I have a copy of both penal code and criminal code

And I read and update myself

Unlike you commenting based on ignorance and sentiments

You guys are alergic to reading that's the problem

Naira20:
Kikikiki,
I thought you did comprehension in English in primary and secondary schools.
Knowledge is beyond reading.
Even a donkey can copy and paste from a WhatsApp group.

So snapping those documents means nothing.
It doesn't prove it belongs to you or that you've even read a page.

Moh247:


It doesn't, it means you that doesn't even have anything you are the Genius regarding law

If you like don't go and get a copy of your own countries law

Be attacking people about till the law send you to where Internet won't save you from

Guy,there is a saying:
Physician heal thyself.


If you want books on jurisprudence and all sorts of law books,e full here.

We don't advertise folly.
If I wan speak legalese I can do that conveniently.

I speak to pass knowledge.
It's like discussing tort with a kindergarten pupil.
I know you don't know and that's why you are eager to showoff.Empty barrel.

Moh247:


Such a airhead

Talking nonsense with confidence

If you indeed have any molecule of sense you would go straight to prove me wrong in anything I commented and nothing acting foolish about

Naira20:
Kikikiki..
Prove a dunderhead wrong?
Guy, everything you said is wrong and there's no need wasting time.
