Wetin Nigeria law tok?
One lawyer wey sabi politics well-well, Liborous Oshoma, say di senate na di cause of di boning wey dem dey chop ontop di hand of di Inspector General of Police.
"Na wetin di national assembly don turn demsef to dats why dem go invite di IGP wey dey draw pay from taxpayers money."
"Di Senate, wey dey represent taxpayers, go invite pesin to come explain somtin and di pesin go tok say im send im junior officer instead because im dey busy."
"I don read di Inspector-General statement say e quote section 215(1a) of di constitution, but e no give am power say you fit send pesin to represent you but maybe some sections for di police act."
Oshoma say di mata straight again because of how Senate turn am to Dino Melaye mata, instead of all di herdsmen killing wey dey happen for di kontri.
