My attention was drawn to the judgement in the case between FRSC vs Dr. Shebbs. Read the facts of the case here:
https://afnews.ng/court-slams-frsc-with-%E2%82%A610-million-fine-for-illegal/ one lesson from this case is the fact that as a citizen you have to know your right. Ignorance of the law have made it so easy for citizens to be oppressed and intimidated by different enforcement institutions. There are laws relevant to our daily living and so it becomes important to be abreast with it as citizens. This will help you avoid unnecessary exploitation and prevent institutional overreach.
What do you think about this judgement? Do you think this will weaken the operation of Federal Road Safety CORPS (FRSC)?
Just a suggestion, op but e for good make you for give a brief summary of wetin transpire before giving the link to incite further reading.
To my thoughts on this, e dey very simple. Until them use some some of these road safety officials set example, others no go learn. I understand say nah since 2020, during the lockdown wey this gbese happen and because the FRSC know say nothing dey to use tie this Dr Emmanuel Shebbs down, them begin to falsify allegations all because them wan get small tip. E bad say nah the people wey suppose dey protect us nai dey put us through this issues but e good as the Court of Appeal rule in the man favor, now small matter wey person for no know about, e don escalate to the point where FRSC go pay #10m in damages to this man for illegal seizure of him vehicles and particulars.
Nah true thing wey you talk but I go like clear you for something. Some people know their fundamental human rights but for this country, if you no get better connections, nah to just give them the money to avoid wahala because e get as e go be, if beta money no dey hand, how you wan handle a court case? So I just believe say, like you talk, e good to know your rights but at the same time, these agencies suppose collect strict warning to no dey use their position dey bully citizens.
