The baseline of the ongoing #EndSWAT #EndSARS protests is hinged on the power of the people.
Section 14 (2) (a) provides to the effect that sovereignty belongs to the people, and the power any constituted authority wields - be it the President or Governor - resides with the people.
This principle of law has been upheld by the Court in a plethora of cases, including the case of Amoshima v. State (2011).

The present crop of Nigerian youths are now alive to their powers and, the rot in the system.
The best Government can do is to either yield to their demands or negotiate favourably.

Therefore, any attempt to intimidate, maim, harass or kill more innocent citizens will be met with severe consequences.
The youths out there protesting will not be stopping anytime soon until there is real change in the system.

With the greatest of respect sir, you have shown an unprecedented, unpardonable and irredeemable level of ignorance and naivety on leaderless protests. Learned Doctor, if you had done little research, you would have seen that leaderless protest is an emerging political concept.
Dear @DComole,

For many of the protests taking place around the world, the lack of an appointed leader is deliberate.

Sir, around the world, leaderless protest movements have emerged, drawing tens of thousands (and, in some cases, millions) of people to the streets.
Dear @DrCOmole,

Though their catalysts vary, leaderless protests have largely looked the same: From Hong Kong and Chile to Iraq and Lebanon, people have utilized social media and the streets to whip up spontaneous, mostly nonviolent grassroots

We need to look for this man. His statement is a crime under international law.
Dear Ambassador H. Coommassie,

Colloquially, democracy is defined as a system of government for the people, by the people.

Sir, that is the Abraham's summarised version.

It is not strange that you still lack the conceptual understanding of democracy.
Sir, there is the general standard of quality minimum requirement, especially with regard to the respect for the rule of law. This is where section 14 (2) (a) of the 1999 Constitution comes in handy to wit:

TORTURE, CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCE III

In 1993, one Andrew Ozone, a security officer with a petroleum marketing from in Apapa, Lagos State, was arrested by the Nigeria Police on allegations of stealing drums of oil from his employer.
When he was brought out for interrogation, he was asked to confess to having committed the offence. He refused complying with the Police by confessing to an offence he never committed.
The Nigeria Police of that jurisdiction got annoyed and beat him 'blue-black' with a rough edged glass on his 'hands and 'ribs'.

WILL I BE SUED FOR DEFAMATION IF I REPUBLISH A DEFAMATORY PUBLICATION, EVEN THOUGH IT DID NOT EMANATE FROM ME?

For a start, defamation is as an act of communicating false statements about a person to a third party, which injures the person's reputation or prevents further
association with the person.

Defamation can either be in form of slander or libel. Libel is communicating a defamatory statement made in writing, while slander is defamation by verbally.
If you initiate and post false information about anyone, by creating original contents about it, commenting, or using emotions, it may expose users to defamation. The American Court has ruled that users who repost, retweet, reshare are liable for defamation because they
