Police: You have the right to search a policeman before he searches you

The police say Nigerians have the right to search its men in certain situations when the officers are about to carry out inspections.

In a statement titled, “(Part 2) Tips For Safe And Cordial Conduct During An Arrest”, Frank Mba, force public relations officer, said if an officer is about to search a citizen or a property, that citizen has the right to first search the policeman in order to ensure that no evidence is planted.

According to him, Nigerians also have the right to demand to know the reason for their arrest whenever an arrest is about to be made.

The force spokesman said in some instances, Nigerians have the right to demand that an arrest warrant is presented before allowing themselves to be apprehended.

“You may politely request that the officer be searched before searching you. Often times, this helps to allay fears that someone may be trying to plant incriminating items on you or implicate you in any other way,” the statement read.

“Demand to see the warrant of arrest where necessary (note, however, that not all invitation/arrest requires a warrant). As a matter of fact, under our laws, the Police have wide powers to arrest without warrant in many circumstances.

“Politely request that the officers allow you inform a trusted friend or a family member or a lawyer soon after your arrest in order to avoid unnecessary apprehension as to your whereabouts or safety.

“If the arrest requires the officer to conduct a search on you, demand to see the Search Warrant and comply with all legitimate instruction during the search (note that there are a lot of instances where a policeman can search you with or without warrant).”

The Force called on Nigerians never to resist arrest, even if it seems unjustified. It also counselled Nigerians to never interfere in the arrest of a third party.

Graduate sent to prison for internet fraud

A graduate of Criminology and Security Services, Adeusi Demola Olatunji, was on Monday, sentenced to four months in prison after being found guilty of internet-related offence filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Ibadan zonal office.

Justice P.I. Ajoku of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, pronounced him guilty of a one-count amended charge of criminal impersonation.

Adeusi, otherwise known as Piero Luchas, was originally arraigned on a six-count charge to which he pleaded not guilty.

The one-count charge he was convicted of was consequent upon a plea-bargain agreement he later had with the commission. He pleaded guilty to the amended charge when read to him.

A statement on Monday by EFCC Spokesman, Tony Orilade, said the convict was arrested on February 8, 2019 at Elebu Oja, Ibadan, Oyo State.

“His modus operandi, according to EFCC investigations, was to present himself as Piero Luchas, a white man with email address jeremy.david564@gmail.com, to dupe his victims.

“The offence is contrary to Section 22(3) (b) and punishable under Section 22(4) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention) Act 2015”, it read.

After pleading guilty to the amended charge, the EFCC counsel, Mabas Mabur, urged the court to accept the plea bargain agreement and convict him accordingly. The court granted the prayer.

Besides the four months jail term, Adeusi was also ordered to refund the sum of $1,800 as restitution to one of his victims.

He will also forfeit his Infinix phone, iPhone 6 and a Toshiba Laptop to the Federal Government of Nigeria, being part of the benefit he derived from his fraudulent act.

The conviction takes effect from the day of his arrest.

Friend introduced me to stealing from church – Suspect tells court

A 26-year-old man, Ighale Tochukwu, who was arraigned before a magistrate court in Isolo for stealing church musical instruments worth N390,000, has told the court that a friend introduced him to the social-vice in order to earn a living.

Tochukwu, who made his way to the Redeemed Church, Liberty Parish at 8, Maxwell Mbamalu Street, Okota for the second time to steal one sunny Mixer valued at N250,000 having previously stolen one Kenwood Amplifier valued at N140,000, claimed one of his friends had inspired his adventure into the act with the aim of making great living out of it.

The suspect confessed to have previously stolen and sold the amplifier to Onyekachi, his friend who introduced him to stealing, at the rate of N15,000.

“I met Onyekachi at Mile 2 where he was smoking weed and he told me if I can get such things like church instruments, it could fetch me good money. He was the one who encouraged me to do it. I did labour work at Greenfield Estate in Okota before. It was Onyekachi I sold the Amplifier to for N15,000.

“Yesterday was the second time I would attempt to steal from the church. I used 2×2 wood to break the roof but, I couldn’t get away with the instrument after taking it,” he said.

According to the prosecutor, Inspector Oje Uagbale, Tochukwu was held down by the church security officer who detected falsehood in his claim that a pastor sent him to fetch the instrument for repair.

Subsequently, he was handed over to police officers at Ago-Okota Division and arraigned on Friday, 28 April 2019.

The Magistrate, Olufunmilayo Teluwo adjourned the case, remanding the suspect in custody since there was no counsel to apply for his bail.

The suspension is contained in a press statement signed by Omoyele Sowore, chairman of the party on Monday.

Sowore said: “It has come to the notice of the office of the Chairman of the African Action Congress that a group of suspended members, induced by financial reasons and anti-progressive politics, gathered in Abuja today, 13th May, 2019, and purportedly held a NEC meeting.

“These members, led by Leonard Nzenwa, former national secretary, who was suspended for financial impropriety and anti-party activities, have demonstrated by their actions that they have never been, and have never shared, the core beliefs that those of us in the African Action Congress hold.

Tunde Bakare attacks Buhari govt for comparing Miyetti Allah with Afenifere, Ohanaeze

The Founder and Senior Pastor, Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has rubbished the Presidency for comparing the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, MACBAN, to the Yoruba socio-political orgnisation, Afeneifere and that of the Igbos, Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, had on Friday, in a statement said the Presidency would continue to engage groups such as the Miyetti Allah, Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo in dialogue as part of the search for solutions and peace in the country.

However, Bakare said only somebody who is not in his right senses would compare Miyetti Allah with Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo

Speaking during a sermon in his church located in Ogba area of Lagos State, the cleric maintained that such comparison was shameful.

He wondered why the Presidency excluded the socio-political group from the North, Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF.

According to Bakare: “It is shameful for anyone to compare Miyetti Allah with Afenifere. Such person cannot be in his right senses to think that Miyetti Allah and Afenifere and Ohanaeze are the same.

“How can a group that has been rated as the fourth most deadly group in the world by the United Nations, a group of terrorists, be the same as Afenifere?

“How can a group that kills people, rapes women, destroys houses be on the same scale as Afenifere? Do Afenifere members carry weapons?”

“And to show the true colour of the person doing the comparison, he left out the ACF from his comparison as if that one is above everybody else.

“If you have to put Afenifere and Ohanaeze on the same scale as Miyetti Allah, why did you exclude the ACF? Is it not to tell everyone that the ACF is superior to other groups in the country?”
