It is unlawful to detain someone beyond 48 hours after arrest. So - TopicsExpress



          

It is unlawful to detain someone beyond 48 hours after arrest. So why do Nigeria police keep suspects behind bars for as long as God knows when without charging them to court? The governor of Katsina State, Ibrahim Shema ordered the arrest and detention of a student of the National Open University of Nigeria, Abdulmalik for posting details of an alleged fertiliser scam in the state on his Facebook timeline and he has spent over 21 days in police custody in accordance with report???? Is it now a crime for one to exercise his/her constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of expression? The other day the governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun detained a motorcyclist for criticising him on facebook, I dont get why people are being arrested and detained for criticising their rulers?
