VDM vs AIG MOSHOOD
The call out
This is one case many people do not want to say something about cos it involves VDM and a top ranking POLICE Officer
Two BIG Elephants and if you talk anyhow, you fit collect π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
Wahala.
Emotions aside, let us look at this matter strictly from legal angle only.
Make VDM and AIG Moshood fans no attack me opoooo π€£π€£
what does the law say?
The Doctrine of Sub Judice
When a matter is pending before a competent court of law, the doctrine of sub judice applies. Under Nigerian law, public commentary or social media campaigns that prejudice, influence, or attempt to pre judge ongoing court proceedings are prohibited.
Running a parallel media trial while a matter is active in court can amount to Contempt of Court under Nigerian criminal and civil law.
As the matter is currently in court
VDM is still FREE for now cos the judge has not deemed VDM's comments an active threat to the trial's integrity.
Once the judge feels VDM action will affect the case, the judge will issue a bench warrant against VDM and VDM will be arrested.
Because, Running parallel media trial risk prejudicing the trial, influencing witnesses, or intimidating judicial officers and it can be prosecuted as contempt of court.
Leaving Emotions aside
VDM mentioned he has strong evidence against the AIG
For this reason, there is a need for VDM to go through the proper legal channel rather than expecting AIG Moshood to reply him online cos his office doesn't permit such.
The AIG himself said it already on TVC news that he would not join issues on social media with VDM or engage in media trials
Even the IG can not say anything on the matter if VDM doesn't submit a petition against the AIG cos their office doesn't allow them to engage in social media trial of their own officer without following the legal process.
Social media is not the court and the AIG is not answerable to anyone online and no matter how many times he calls out the AIG, i doubt if the AIG will answer him but VDM really want the AIG to answer him.
Especially the question of WHO IS BODE? π€£π€£
VDM need to go through the legal route by filing his complaints and petition to Police Service Commission (PSC), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), or via a formal petition to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) or through the court.
I believe so much that VDM lawyers advised him already but VDM no wan gree cos he believes those process may take time and manipulation may set in and that's the reason he is doing it the social media way.
But what ever it is
The law is not emotional
And
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
