please suggest how else they could have handled a man resisting arrest. prostrate to him for like five hours?

Geniro:


If they didn't have a valid warrant to arrest him, why should he follow them.

yomexp:
from the video we can't confirm whether they showed him or not we can only give the efcc the benefit of the doubt that they did. the onus is on the defendant to proof that they didn't have an arrest warrant.

You weren't sure yet concluded he was on the wrong side of the law for insisting on his right .

Zombies irritate me. use your brain properly.

Reasoning with him or through his lawyers would have made it look more civil. That video is a mess am sure u did not watch it go and watch it before arrest of that nature is been made I believe a warrant should have been issued from a judge. Just wondering if they had any

bokohalal:


You deserve to be lynched.

If he was granted bail, then it is absolutely wrong for agents of the state to whisk him away forcefully. If the man stole public funds he must be prosecuted. What I would not support is when human rights start being trampled upon. Some people are happy cos they feel he stole therefore h should be treated anyhow. Our security agents should not be allowed to start feeling above the law, the law should guide every strata of the society. If people's rights are trampled upon in a dictatorial manner, they will start revolting

operatives whisked away the former Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Patrick Akpobolokemi, from the Federal High Court, Ikoyi on Monday.

One of the counsel to the embattled former NIMASA boss, Wilson Ajuwa, made this known to PREMIUM TIMES in a telephone interview.

Mr. Ajuwa said he feared for Mr. Akpobolokemi’s life.

The legal practitioner said the ordeal of the former NIMASA boss started shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari took over power.

“For some reasons, he has been under investigation for the last six months since President Muhammadu Buhari came into power,” Mr. Ajuwa told PREMIUM TIMES.

“He has been going to the EFCC back and forth and all sort of things are happening. The EFCC has invited the wife, his brothers and maltreated them.

“Eventually, they charged him to court before Justice Salihu Sa’idu on a 30 count charge and penultimate Friday while he was in their custody; they charged him again before Justice Mohammed Buba, all of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi Lagos.

“Both courts granted him bail after he was remanded in Ikoyi Prisons for seven days. His trial was supposed to start last week Tuesday but the court was adjourned for today.

“While we were in court, they filed a 2000 page proof of evidence and the counsels were unable to review the document and prepare their defence.

“The judge was averse to a prolong adjournment but decided to give the defence the benefit of the doubt by adjourning further hearing on the matter till January 18, 2016.”

Just as the former NIMASA boss stepped out of the courtroom, Mr. Ajuwa said persons suspected to be SSS operatives appeared with a detachment of policemen and beat up Mr. Akpobolokemi.

He said the operatives used force to re-arrest his client even then he had secured bails from two different court where he was charged by the Federal Government.

“It took us seven days to perfect the bail in both courts and so he is under two bails at the time they took him away,” he told this newspaper.

Asked if the government prosecutors had sought to squash the bails granted Mr. Akpobolokemi during the court sitting, Mr. Ajuwa responded in the negative.

Already, he said the matter had been reported to Justice Buba and a motion filed for the former NIMASA boss to be produced in court on Tuesday.

“With the way they treated him, we don’t know whether the man is alive or not. They beat him thoroughly before bundling him into their vehicle. The video is there for people to see,” Mr. Ajuwa said.

reason with him? you must be joking. it isn't in the purview to reason with him. i believe he was shown the arrest warrant but yet he resisted. the in it self is an offence. am sure the officers were under instructions to bring him to there office alive.

Having a strong case doesn't warrant infringing on his rights if any. The subsequent days will reveal the true position of things.

chopido:
Lol don't get me wrong here. I am not supporting his act of resisting arrest. That is an offence on its own my point is d manner d officers carried out d arrest. I know they might be under order to bring him in. But u mentioned one funny thing. Bring him in alive.. We're they suppose to kill him?

yomexp:
your right under the law is not limitless. your right isn't an excuse to embezzle public funds. and if police have any reason to investigate you, they have the power to place you under arrest(provided they have a warrant of arrest) for a certain number of time as prescribed by law. you right is stops or is limited the moment you infringe on the law.

You are just beating about the bush trying to justify brutality.

Like i said, may the APC rule Nigeria forever or else ?

Firefire:
APC & Buhary abusing the rule of law in the name of fighting corruption.

You don't fight corruption by harassing people and infringing on their fundamental human right.

Only time will tell.

If this is how to fight corruption, then Nigeria as a country still need 5,000 YEARS to start fighting corruption. - SMH
