Pecoleee345: Like I said, the police has nothing to do with this matter yet. There's no evidence to prove that the police invited him, except what the police wrote up there. And if you're from this country you know that the words of the police are not to be trusted That aside, it is the job of the court to serve him. This is completely a matter that the courts should handle. The police is not the court or a judge. The answer to your question what the police should have done is simply "NOTHING" The police does not settle matters. Only the courts do. And it's the duty of the courts to judge the journalist and determine whether he is guilty or innocent. 3 Likes |

CorrectionFLuid: You're simply wrong! Police have rights to investigate both civil and criminal matters. The case involved is a defamation suit and proper investigation must be done. If police invites you but you refuse to show then they have every right to arrest you as that is obstruction of justice. Defamation can be criminal if it results in imminent threat or loss to the accuser, it is even more imparative if the defamation was written and distributed online as that can be tied to the new cyber law. There are over 10 different ways that the police could invoke probable cause in situations like this so it is best to comply. Even if you want to act stubborn, get a good lawyer and let him or her navigate the issue. 4 Likes |

abbey621: This is exactly how impunity gets instituted. If you commit a crime, the police should get an arrest warrant from a judge, after they have proven to the judge that you are a person of interest. If the police invites you, you have a right to know why you're being invited. And if you don't show up, the police has to go to a judge and obtain an arrest warrant. Arrest warrants are given when it's determined that the case is a crime, and the person who is about to be arrested is a person of interest. In a civil case such as this, it is only a courts that can determine if this is truly defamation, and not the police. You're wrong and don't know your right, yet you are the first to tell another person that he's wrong. If the court has already determined the case to be defamation, then it is now a crime. And before arresting, in this case, kidnapping the guy, the police should also go to his place, and invite him. The fact that they arrested him at his place in Abuja shows that they know his place and have access to him. The police you're here defending smartly left out the details of the so called defamation. You're turning the law on its head for something that you're not even sure you won't be a victim of tomorrow. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

CorrectionFLuid: Yea this just shows you know nothing about police code of conduct and the overall Nigerian Constitution. Can you state the part of the Nigerian law that specifically commands the need of a warrant before being invited for questioning? The fact that they even invited him and gave him the option of coming in honorably is already a positive, under the old police code, they would have bundled him immediately the complaint was made. Finally, it is not the police job to give you all the detail, it is for you to be conversant with the law and know that defamation suit requires active investigation and is punishable under law. Section 375 of the Criminal Code Act, any person who publishes any defamatory matter is guilty of a misdemeanor and is liable to imprisonment for one year; and any person who publishes any defamatory matter knowing it to be false, is liable to imprisonment for two years. The court is not the investigvative body, it is the police that investigates.....I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS AND STOP THIS BASELESS ARGUMENT! 2 Likes |

Interpreter, why did he not honor the police invitation jeje? Oga make we hear word. The man knows his rights. This is purely a civil mattèr. The Nun should get a Lawyer to file case against him, not the Police. I suspect that the Police is compromised or bribed, that's why they acted in commando style while arresting him to justify what they collected. Now, they are cslling for ptofessional investigation. Nonsense! |
