Over the coming
The Next Chapter Begins!
After a highly competitive selection process, we're thrilled to welcome our new cohort of virtual interns at Iris Attorneys LP!
These bright minds are ready to dive into the legal world and become future leaders.
Let the journey begin!
When I get to checkpoints and Police officers ask for my particulars and I present them, they usually begin to laugh. The reason is that I assembled all the documents and spiral binded them.
So, because Tunde is now a public figure, he cannot post his GF and his GF cannot post him? Someone made out time to help people and because of that, you people are demanding that he doesn't get to live his life again? How did I get to share a Country with some of you?
At my young age at the Bar, I have been vocal and even fought against Police brutality hoping this madness would stop. Never has it crossed my mind that I would one day be a victim. Here we are...
Three weeks ago, I was going to Epe for a meeting. As I was about to enter Epe, I saw policemen pushing a two people into their Van. I sought the permission of the friend I was with and parked. I approached the officers and tried to verify what was going on. They claimed they
Okay, let’s take this seriously:
1. The Police Force as at today do not have a data of everyone arrested nor their previous criminal record if any
2. If Police arrest anyone in Asaba, there’s no way you can know in Lagos because they still run a strictly analog system. If you
I see people quoting this tweet with misinformation and outright ignorance.
1. Bobrisky pleaded GUILTY when he was arraigned, Cubana Chief Priest pleaded NOT GUILTY, hence, the procedure is different.
2. Bobrisky was sentenced to prison for 6 months without an option of fine
She doesn't get the point. If you had called him mumu, it's a different thing. You stereotyped the citizens you're expected to plead their cause to the International Community. Next time you want to act on their behalf, the Countries will direct you to this tweet.
I’m done on this . But out of respect for you , will ask, Clean what up? It’s okay for some untrained, uncouth guy to refer to me as “ mumu”, and I can’t call him “ ode”I’m not a public official that cows to bullying pls.
Inibehe Effiong was incarcerated in Uyo Prison and he brought out 17 others with him? A GOATED ACTIVIST. I Stan a principled and courageous Lawyer. Some of you in support of his incarceration aren't even known for any principle apart from hypocrisy.

@MBuhari

Alhamdulilah, our bundle of joy arrived last night. Our Son was introduced to me by his Mum and I'm still getting used to being called a Dad. Thankful to God Almighty for his blessings ♥️
A good number of Nigerians won’t feel the impact of shutting down the national grid. Many don’t even know yet because they are used to not having constant power supplies. It’s that crazy.
This is cyber bullying and you should be arrested for this. You’re threatening a citizen knowing fully well that even if he has evidence, you can still overpower him.
@PoliceNG
, please look into this.
One FRSC officer told me yesterday that by giving him a spiral binded copy, I reminded him of the time he was in school and writing project. He didn't like that memory from his gesture. No vex boss, dangerous times demands dangerous moves😂😂😂

Sometime in 2021, a lawyer was stopped by Vehicle Inspection officers, what we all call VIO in Delta state.
Okay, so we're just leaving Panti now. All 33 protesters are out. They were arraigned this night and were granted bail. We've been able to perfect same and everyone is on their way home. Thanks to the team for the awesome job.

10. One thing I can promise is that we'll pursue this to a logical conclusion. Everything that happened today (Brutality, harassment and Medical treatment that followed) are properly documented and they will unfold as we proceed.
11. Thank you.

On PIDOM, the moment he was arrested and it became known, so many issues will start coming up and the next few months for him could be very complex:
1. Everyone he has directly or indirectly written against are now aware that he’s in custody. Every tweet he ever made will be
Has nothing to do with whatever they have going on but if Wizkid coughs today, everyone on that trend including the top farmers will leave the table for him.

, who is still in Police Custody at SCID, Panti, Lagos. I observed the following:
1. We still run a Police system that cares less about Fundamental rights
2. He has been detained here since Wednesday, 1st May,
You see what is currently happening to Tunde? That's the kind of entitlement that some of you have against persons who are trying to make genuine sacrifices to help others.
I remember some of the cases we did last year. We got this guys out of Police custody, about 40 of them.
So, let me get this right:
1. You got a petition against a Journalist who had written about a potential mismanagement of public funds
2. You never bothered to investigate the mismanagement of public funds that was alleged but you swung into action and proceeded to arrest the

Once they ask and I show them, they start laughing cos they know "this one is a troublemaker" and he won't give shishi. I like complying with their legal requests so that it would be easy to drag each other if the need arises.
Everyday in Lagos, I see Police/Military Men on the road waving to get a ride. Each time I want to stop and help but then, I've never had the courage. It could be the worst mistake of your life. Except I know them personally, I won't do it. It's that bad and it shouldn't be.
1. I haven’t seen anyone encouraging others to take “arms” against you
2. Protest is not a crime. This subtle threat disguised in “national security” is not only laughable but it shows how desperate you guys are to protect the evil ones among you.
3. Instead of threatening

Whilst we are still dragging Seun Kuti, the Force should act responsibly by withdrawing your men from this so-called celebrities. If they need security, let them engage private security firms. We are under policed and yet, we have thousands of police officers following

Justice Bulkachuwa retired in 2020, her Husband just dented her whole career in 2023. This is what happens when you talk too much.
This should trigger a review by the NJC if we are being serious about our Judiciary.
Unbelievable that a Senator whose wife was the president of the court of appeal could brag how he influenced her decisions. He embarrassed the senate president by revealing the open truth about Nigeria’s judiciary. We must give Senator Bulkachuwa a national award as a

"Muslims" are in the comment section claiming the meaning of Sultan is "Head of State" whilst pretending they didn't see his earlier tweet calling Nigerian Air force "Muslim Air force" or that they didn't know this guy is an extremist who thrives in stuffs like these.
This is
Swears bro. When the calls were becoming too much, the IPO said, ''I no know say you be big man". Should it have mattered whether I am a "Big man" or Small man? Shouldn't the fact that I am a citizen with rights matter? We have indisciplined ppl enforcing laws in Nigeria.
They apologized to Ridwan after beating him up by saying “sorry, we no know say you be big man”
So only big men deserve to be treated with respect ?
Tueh
If Dipo talks about his candidate and supports openly, you'd say he influenced y'all to support him just like you've been saying since 2015. If he supports his candidate privately, y'all will still drag him for "disguising". If they say y'all are toxic, you will still drag them.
Here is the step by step procedure on how to do the police Central Motor Registry Information System (CMRIS) registration.

Read this now and register so we can avoid another Twitter story of Police extorting 40k from a citizen at the checkpoint
I can’t have 40M lying in my account and then the next thing that comes to my mind is Japa to go and start all over again in another country. If I could raise 40M without debt on it in Nigeria, then I have the capacity to raise that multiplied by 5. I go Dey go vacation Dey come
Once again, officers escorting VIPs has to stop. Apart from the fact that we are under-policed, the officers that died escorting Apostle Suleman, what will become of their families? The same stipend they earned while alive? As a VIP, if you need security, engage Private Security!
In Nigeria, there are five types of passports for individuals. You can now apply for them online. The application process is simple and easy to use with online application guidelines.

Happy birthday to me. Thankful for another wonderful year on earth. May my dreams and aspirations come true.
Cheers to greater heights and new beginnings.
You see that view count? It will take some of you to prison and get enough damages off you if you wouldn't stop peddling lies around. At least, ppl can now justify the damages your lies have caused using the number of times ppl saw your tweet when they sue you for defamation
Someone is currently in detention in faraway Kenya. Your first comment is to wish her bad and even spread unverified news all around. This person legit had genuine reasons not to involve herself again but yet, despite diff timezones, she was available all through to help ppl out
Let me address the fallacies here once and for all:
1. The IGP has hand in this case. The Commissioner of Police works for the Nigeria Police Force which the IGP heads. Any mishandling of the case directly goes back to the table of the IGP
2. Justice has not been done in this
The IGP has no hand in this case. The team handling FIJ's case is headed by a commissioner of police, who is competent and ready to do justice all the time. The police force has not erred in this case at all. The law must take its course. If Daniel Ojukwu produces a substantive
6. This act of indiscipline and others are what our Police officers carry out on a daily basis while expecting citizens to trust and respect them.
@Princemoye1

have been on this App severally trying to earn our trust but their officers are doing the opposite
Nigerian Courts have been under lock & key for over a month. Has anyone wondered what the
@PoliceNG
are doing with suspects they have arrested since then? How about the inability to try suspects in courts as provided by our laws?
TAKE NOTE, THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED ON THE ROAD BY THE POLICE.
#legaltipsbyRidwan
First, the following are the only viable reasons why a police officer should stop and search you on the road;
If one soldier is using force, beating an helpless member of the public, can the civilians there gather and beat the soldier?

Check Thread…
The police can only detain you for a maximum of 24-48 hrs, but the court can hold you further.
#legaltipsbyRidwan
Let me explain the difference to you properly so you can know your rights
Stop spraying naira mint on your Saturday Owambe…
It is bad enough that what you’re doing is an offence but you still get cheated by all these “mint sellers”...

3. There was an alternative route (Cemetery street, Health Center), they skipped it and followed one way as they believed they are above the law
4. Even if I had committed a crime (which I didn't), no officer in Nigeria and beyond has any right to touch or beat me up
Insisting the guy is PIDOM, I don’t know why that was necessary. You basically shut the guy out of a possible defence. No way he could prove all those tweets. He knew that and that was why he asked someone to tell you about his line of defence but you outed him already. LOL
You come here to claim “Bail is free” every time but your institution has refused to make itself accountable. Let me tell you why “bail is free” is the most hypocritical statement ever uttered:
1. The Law generally provides that Police should not hold on to you for more than 48
I have said it severally that the police force doesn't support or approve the payment of bail money at any stage. We only grant administrative bail and with no payment attached. We need to collectively put an end to the problem of bail money. We must endeavour to ask questions
I can confirm that Daniel was moved to Abuja early this morning. He was allowed to make call and he just spoke with me. He’s currently being held at the “Threat Response Unit of the NPF National Cybercrime Centre”, Abuja.

I saw Chude Jideonwo’s documentary on Akwuzu SARS and the atrocities of James Nwafor. It's terrifying! You cannot exculpate Peter Obi from that imbroglio by saying he was not in control of the Police and still look smart. Who would have been the best to fight for them?
9. Every citizen of Nigeria deserves the right to human dignity, Right to freedom of movement & expression as well as other rights enshrined in our laws. Nobody, including a Police officer, no matter how high or drunk should illegally take that away from them.
They reported that a CJN was meeting the President Elect in London. They showed his picture at the airport WITHOUT MORE, you people issued threads saying it's the truth. You even cursed some of us who didn't believe it based on the available evidence. That report was meant to

I was arrested, brutalized and unlawfully detained between 11:45am and 3:30pm. I was wearing a round neck, short and slippers. I am a Law abiding citizen, I do all that is required as a good citizen, I do all this so as to avoid embarrassing situations like this but here we are.
Good day FPPRO:

Good day. Let me quickly remind you of a point in your paragraph 3, there is no law that police must invite while investigating a criminal case. The law instructs the police to arrest any criminal suspect, not to invite. So, the invitation is at the discretion of the IPO,
