 Abusing Tinubu is not a career – Joe Igbokwe taunts Sowore A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe, has mocked activist and presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, who on Monday, June 22, was remanded in Kuje prison by an Abuja High Court over his alleged refusal to appear in court in the ongoing trial regarding a remark he made on his social media handles about President Bola Tinubu. Reacting to the remand order, Igbokwe expressed support for the judgment, stating that abusing Tinubu “is not a career.” “Nigeria is not a lawless country. Sowore has taken the law into his hands for years now. Protests on the streets, disturbing public peace, abusing law enforcement officers, encouraging killers in the South East, abusing PBAT, these are not a career.”

Breaking: Lagos passes bill stopping parade of suspects


The Lagos House of Assembly on Monday passed an amended version of the Criminal Justice Law of the state barring the police from henceforth parading suspects before the media.


The bill was passed at a sitting presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Wasiu Eshilokun-Sanni


Section 9(A) of the newly passed bill states: "As from the commencement of this law, the police shall refrain from parading any suspect before the media."


The bill further stipulates conditions under which a policeman can arrest without warrant one of which is that a person must be reasonably suspected to unlawfully be in possession of firearms or other such dangerous instruments.


A subsection of the bill also barred the police or any other agency from arresting a person "in lieu of any other person in a criminal matter."


The bill adds that a person who is arrested "shall be given reasonable facilities for obtaining legal advice, bail or making arrangements for defence or release.


The bill stipulates that a suspect should be "accorded humane treatment, with the right to dignity of person; not be subjected to any form of torture, cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment; be brought before the court as prescribed by this law or any other written law; or be released conditionally or unconditionally."


After a voice vote, the Deputy Speaker directed the acting Clerk of the House, Mr. Olalekan Onafeko, to transmit the bill to the governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for assent.
