Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force’s Public Relations Officer, ignited a contentious discussion on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday when he claimed that Nigerian law gave police officers the authority to enter residences without a search warrant.
When Somto Okonkwo, an X user, posted a video of masked police officers forcibly scaling a fence to enter a property, the debate started.
When the residents refused to open the house’s gate for the authorities, the officers are shown on camera firing bullets. Later, however, the cops scaled the fence to enter the building.
Joseph Tobore, an X user, responded to the video by claiming that Adejobi’s remarks violated Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution.
According to the police spokesperson, Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution is no longer in effect. If Prince can defend breaking the law and say it’s their law, Nigeria is in peril. Remember that a law is not a law if it does not comply with the Constitution. I challenge you, Prince: explain Section 37 to Nigerians and consider the logic of this assertion.
