Dear All,

#RapeRant: What the social media says about rape may be different from the position of the law. The law Court is about evidence & not emotions. If you are a victim get a lawyer/NGO to teach you how to elicit evidence first

You can dm any reputable organisation for an advice on how to get your evidential issues sorted before coming to social media timeline please.
We must protect both rape victims and people who are wrongly accused.
#NoToRape #NoToFalseAccusationOfRape
Stop using rape as a weapon. You can be sued for malicious prosecution or even worst. In the event that you have damaged the person's source of income, he/she can sue to recover that in damages.
A rapist rapes "dignity", a false accuser rapes "dignity" too.

We would be answering the following questions to enable us clarify this section:
A thread.

A recent culture that filled the social media space during the global lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic was the 'dragging' of people for various reasons. For each passing day, someone has been dragged on social media, especially on Twitter. Image
Celebrities, Commander-in-Chief of countries have been dragged, apparently, no one was exempted from being dragged. All you needed do was present yourself for dragging.
One of such draggings was that of a cake baker. A baker called out another baker and asked the later to stop imitating her cakes! At first, it sounded like a joke, because that would not be the first time cakes have been imitated.

Mama Tunde is owing her landlord N80,000 for 6 months rent and he has finally made true of his threats to get her arrested by the Police. At least, that's how he deals with Tenants that refuse to pay rents on time.

Does the duty of the Police involve settlement of civil dispute? Image
It has become a norm for people to engage the services of law enforcement agencies to recover debt or enforce a civil agreement, clearly majority are not aware that owing debt is not a crime and cannot be referred to as one.
When a person engages police officers in a civil matter, both the Police officers involved and the person that invited the officers can actually be sued for breach of fundamental human rights.

While disobedience of court orders continues to be the order of the day for the Nigerian Government- It is important to know that one of the causes of the explosions at the port of Beirut is “DISOBEDIENCE OF COURT ORDER”. Image
The question now is: Will the utter negligence and disobedience of court orders come back to haunt us in Nigeria?
The order for the unconditional release of the Shiites leader, Shiekh Zakzaky was made by the Court in 2016- This continues to be disregarded by the Nigerian Government causing unrest, extrajudicial killings, and destruction of properties in Abuja.
