*5 PERSONS THAT SHOULD BE PRESENT BEFORE AN ARRESTED PERSON WILL MAKE STATEMENT IN POLICE.*
Daily Law Tips (Tip 343) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

Police and other security agencies in Nigeria have no right whatsoever to FORCE/CAJOLE/INTIMIDATE an arrested person to make any oral or written statement. It is the right of an arrested person to make or not to make a statement. It is the duty of police to carry out investigations and not to force arrested person to make statements.
However, if an arrested person wants to make a statement, it is the right of the arrested person to make his statement in the presence of a legal practitioner of his choice (and not a lawyer provided by police). Where arrested person has no lawyer of his choice, then he can make his statement in presence an officer of the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria or an official of a Civil Society Organisation or a Justice of Peace or even any other ordinary person including a woman.

Recommendation: The use of the word “MAY” in the sentence, “Such statement MAY be taken in the presence of a legal practitioner....” should be made to be “SHALL”. This will remove discretion from police and ensure greater compliance. Considering the poor attitude of security agencies in Nigeria, there is a serious need for lawyers and third parties to observe and participate in management of arrested/detained persons to ensure respect for human rights. This is very important since the section of the law providing for confessions to be recorded on video also uses “MAY” and most police stations have no cameras and steady power supply.

My authorities are sections 15(4), 15(5), 17(1), 494 and 495 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and other similar laws across States in Nigeria.

IS ELECTRICITY THEFT (BYPASS) REALLY A CRIME IN NIGERIA.
DAILY LAW TIPS (Tip 341) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

Like any other commodity that can be stolen, it is a criminal offence to steal electricity in any part of Nigeria. Electricity theft is the act of knowingly and willingly stealing, diverting or using electricity or electric current. Note that, the person that did an illegal connection, as well as persons that are using illegal electricity are all guilty.

Where the crime is in any state in the Northern part of Nigeria including Federal Capital Territory, the punishment for such is imprisonment for not more than 5 years or and with fine. Where the crime is in any state in the Southern part of Nigeria, the punishment is 3 years without an option of fine.

Note also that, across all parts of Nigeria, illegal disconnection, tampering, meddling and inference with electricity meter, fittings or appliances for generating, transmitting. distributing, supplying, calculating, converting or selling electricity is an offence punishable with maximum of 21 years imprisonment. This is necessary to mention, since most electricity theft includes unlawful tampering and interferences with electric fittings and meters. 

My authorities are

1. Sections 286(2) and 287 of the Penal Code Act 1960

2. Sections   1 and 400 of Criminal Code Act, 1916.

*POLICE HAS NO POWERS TO FORCE AN ARRESTED PERSON TO MAKE STATEMENT*. Daily Law Tips (Tip 339) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

It is unlawful for any police officer or security agent to force any arrested or invited person to make or write any statement. Statements should not be obtained by force or deceit. Statement must not be made before an arrested person can be released or granted bail. It is the right of an arrested person to make or not to make a statement.

Well, considering the poor attitude of Nigerian security agents, instead of being molested and losing a limb, please do give them a statement and obtain your freedom. Then engage a good lawyer to go after the concerned arresting officers.

My authorities are sections 17(1), 494 and 495 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and other similar laws across States in Nigeria.
