On this case of Cute Abiola’s skit on “police uniform”, I disagree entirely with you the Force PRO.

The case is not as simple as the Force PRO wants the public to believe.

Skit is intended for entertainment.

Entertainers use military and police uniforms globally for their art and craft.

Using ‘police uniform’ in a skit for the purpose of entertainment cannot by itself bring contempt on that uniform.

In any event, if what’s demonstrated in the skit is a true reflection of what the police is known for, you will have a hard time proving this case.

The skit maker may want to call up to a 1000 witnesses to testify that the skit is a true reflection of the police mode of operation, and that they did not find it contemptuous of the uniform.

Maybe you think, Sir, that it is the opinion of the police that the court will use to determine whether contempt was brought on the uniform or not. Well, that is not how the law works and you may soon find this out.

This case you want to pursue may end up exposing the police to further public ridicule and judicial rebuke.

By the way, the said offence is a simple offence with a punishment of only three months imprisonment or a fine of forty Naira.

If the Magistrate Court even agrees with your argument, fine may be imposed and I don’t see how forty Naira fine on Cute Abiola will improve the revenue of the police or the federal government.

Rather than dissipate your energy trying to fight skit makers for depicting the police in a way you’re not comfortable with, you should use that energy to curtail the menace, lawlessness and wanton corruption of policemen whose endless abuse of power is what has actually brought the uniform and the Force into contempt.

By the way, you will have to define what constitutes a “police uniform” as provided for by law, and also prove beyond reasonable doubt that what Cute Abiola wore in the skit is a police uniform. It is not as simple as ABC. Law is not a joke.

Criminal Litigation is not skit.

Nigerian Police Threatens To Arrest Cute Abiola Because Of Skit

This skit people should know their boundaries please, they should stop behaving anyhow like their skit master Peter Obi. I'll never forgive Peter Obi for having the guts to challenge Asiwaju in court. I'll only let go when he apologizes and withdraw from the court and finally congratulates Asiwaju.

This guy is so spot on. Why do our police becoming so much engross with social media activities these days? While that is not totally bad, it's nonsense to be looking for youths to pick on. Abeg focus on the rot in police system abeg.

Hunger and Naija police are 5 and 6. That is why they resort to bribe 95% of the time. The politicians they would always die for are the ones putting them in such penury. If police are being paid well, their corrupt practices would reduce drastically.

Like in 'Training Day'.....

The reality here is that the police can't even arrest him cos he's a naval personnel and not a civilian. They can only report him to the Navy who would punish him based on their own code of conduct.

May the focus favour me and my family

The problem is that the police themselves are guilty of what the guy portrayed in the skit

You got the idea from a mad man abi?

Hmm.

“ By the way, you will have to define what constitutes a “police uniform” as provided for by law, and also prove beyond reasonable doubt that what Cute Abiola wore in the skit is a police uniform. It is not as simple as ABC. Law is not a joke...”.

That uniform was not in anyway close to what we know as the real police uniform. Skit makers go beyond their boundaries, but in this case, I do not see how they can prove it in court.

Our political leaders and law enforcement agents are so used to abuse of power that they see themselves as the embodiments of the law.
