What this court document is saying is that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun dragged Chioma Okoli to court over a tin tomatoes review she left on Facebook but never served her the charges after sending men to arrest, harrass, bully and intimidate her for Eric Umeofia.
The IG of the police is the complaint. Why is the IG of police involved in a civil matter between a consumer and a manufacturer? When did Egbetokun begin picking interest in the tomato business? ๐
This is what the police force has turned into! A chamber of intimidation!
Masculinity isn't going extinct, but the traditional ideals of masculinity are changing based on todayโs societal expectations and conversations around gender roles
My uncle has a nickname and that's for fighting 6 thieves.
They removed 2 of his tooth but he left them all unconscious.
I don't know the kind of men we have these days, no sense of protection towards their women or family.
Is masculinity going extinct?
It's shocking o๐ฅฒ
PRESS RELEASE
ERISCO TOMATOES MATTER: OUR CYBERCRIME ACT IS POTENT, EFFECTIVE
As Police Reaffirms Prosecution of Chioma, No Sentiment in Law.
The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its commitment to upholding the rule of law in the Erisco Tomato matter. The involvement of Mrs. Chioma warrants scrutiny as she stands accused of violating some salient parts of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act, 2015 as preliminary investigations conducted have unearthed compelling evidence indicating Mrs. Chioma's alleged role in the violation of extant laws, particularly those related to the proper use of the cyber space.
At this juncture, it is imperative to caution members of the public against spreading misinformation and attempting to manipulate public sentiment. The law operates impartially, and any attempt to subvert it will be met with the full force of legal action. The recent developments in the case are deeply worrisome, particularly the use of crowdfunding as a means to influence legal proceedings. Such actions undermine the integrity of the justice system and threaten the principles of fairness and accountability as they are highly inimical to the existence of the rule of law.
This case in point underscores the necessity of enforcing existing legislation, including the Cybercrime Act, to counteract the current spate of violations of the Act and spread of misinformation and disinformation on social media. It is vital to reaffirm that the Nigeria Police is poised to enforce all laws without fear, favour, or sentiments in its commitment to ensuring justice and transparency for all citizens.
We therefore advise the suspect to cease the continual jumping bail and turn up in court, as a neutral arbiter, to determine the matter, and allow justice to take its course, while we admonish Nigerians, most especially social media influencers, to resort to embracing the rule of law, and shun all display of sentiments in the case, and in many others as the police will not be deterred by the antics of certain individuals to pervert justice in any way.
