Nonsense

No worries. They are age mates. Invited for a meal of kunu and masara.

Am not saying what the 70years old man did was right but we need to investigate what could have happened before insulting Buhari. There is no smoke without fire....

They should release and apologise to those men with a hefty palliative.

Are we no longer practicing democracy? Useless people..

Many nations of the world are devising means to overcome Corona virus, two idiots in Nigeria are talking about who insult and who did not insult president. Foolish Nation.

The man has not committed any criminal offence by abusing Pmb and Masari? Abusing one another does not concern police. Pmb and Masari are at liberty to sue or ignore anyone that abuses them, the Police should concentrate on their primary assignment.

Why?

Hmm scam

That's not true.. imagine 500 insults coming from Nigerians on a daily basis that means our force are distracted because of one man. Nigerians think before accepting and spreading rumours except there is more to it.

He is their friends age wise, if he insulted them is a chicanary of friendship

Donald Trump the leader of one of the greatest and most powerful country in the world is insulted on a daily basis by his own people. And none of them have been arrested. I saw a video of a man confronting Boris Johnson after he become PM..nothing happened.

Nigeria Police, na wah o

We should be clapping hand for them because this is why we elect them mumu people

Nigeria is turning to a Communist State under this Administration. They are abusing Democracy everyday in Nigeria. Do you know how many insults other Democrats country leaders received by the opposition everyday?. SecPompeo

I remember a northern governor who slapped a citizen for questioning his 1st term performance during 2019 electioneering

We need to stop this madness

Seriously this is not an autocracy.... Democracy freedom of speech abeg it's not righthumanright OHCHR_Europe UN_Nigeria

Is that a crime ? Hasn't this government insulted the youths and Nigerians in general ? Over sabi in action.

Wonders shall never end. This is Nigeria indeed. Too bad.

Lol next level

Deadman$$$ walking!!

Two old fools with fish brains..

Useless people everywhere

You don't ave to react to everything that people said,

Herdsmen are killing farmers in Delta State. where are the police?

Rubbish 🤔

Masari was a Speaker of House of Reps under PDP, when he didn't get ticket from Gov Shema he decamped to APC, with all his corrupt enrichment. See him playing Mr. Saint with a clueless President.

Bunch of fools

He has lockdown Nigeria he should lockdown all Nigerians ....... May Allah protect us And guide us in this holy month of Ramadan. May Allah see us through this pandemic by his Grace Ramadan Kareem

Thunder fire 🔥 masari

The level of incompetence of Bubu led government has ruined this country.

Instead of fighting COVID-19 and sending relief packages and winning the hearts of your citizens, you are doing this and u expect God to b lenient with your judgement. Hell fire is calling you.

Old people with their old idea to lead their Young followers. Nigeria my country.

OK we have heard ..as usual , .. Can we please move to the next headline?

Our leaders are have gone mad again

This police self I come and tire for you people, so arresting someone because he insult prophet Muhammed now you are arresting another person because he insulted Mr president? Nawaoo is like una no get work again. Oya make una go join our doctors to the treat CORO

When you lose focus of your job, the unimportant things become your priority

And buhari should be arrested for insulting the Nigerian youths

Democracy = Rule of Law Nigerian Democracy = Rule of Despotism.

This country is a joke. People insult Donald Trump every day but you don't hear security agents going after them.

Buhari is an embarrassment

God punish Lifeless Buhari. Come and arrest me.. Idiot Fulani

Who is buhari, God punish am. I dey my house, come and arrest me... nonsense. Una generation...

Balderdash

Thunder fire Buhari and the useless Masari

Buhari is ruining d lives of Nigerians.

Is Nigeria gradually going the way of Francophone countries?

And the police called it an achievement, when dozens of people are being killed on a regular basis by the bandits, neither the FG no the SG no the police did something. Rather you are busy arresting a 70 year old man. What a shame to MBuhari, GovernorMasari, NigerianPolice

Have they not insulted Nigerians for years and no one said anything? Their errand boys went to arrest a 70yrs old man. I don't think he wants to grow old or die well. If I were him, I would have just leave it as old peoples game that will be settled in the grave.

Jonathan never made any arrest and this were the same bloodclart that rubbished him now you don’t want the same thing to be done to you. That’s karma....

We will get to our promise land one day God willing.Its just a matter of time.God bless Nigeria

They should be prepared to arrest everyone, cause the insults have multiplied. The most useless government cum administration on earth

Insulting others as if this the first case of insolence on cyber space.☹️☹️

Which kind yeye country be this self

The police and are bastards. We don suppose dey beat those fools since they don’t know any better than to be houseboys and tools of public office holders!

Bikonu is there an existing law that give the PoliceNG the right to arrest someone who insults the President and Governor. Please Lawyers educate me. segalink falzthebahdguy

Why can't the police commissioner of Kastina relates the abusive words the said men used to qualify GMB to the public? Probably, those men lambasted GMB for his ineptitude in managing the country.

Unbridled for the abuse of power is a crust of every dictatorship, wielded when men of patriots keep mute My school motto: patriots never mute We’ll never keep silence of MBuhari dictatorship

So know more freedom of speech🤷‍♀️

Is the real Buhari not dead Let's stop fooling ourselves in this country.

Could that be a problem at this time?

nawa o, they are not fighting corruption anymore, they fighting insult against the president, no freedom of speech anymore. And one person grandpa dem arrest so, God have mercy on us o.

God help us 🙏

Haba! In this 21st century, colonial laws that have been done away with are still being applied in NIGERIA?

The PoliceNG fails to realise that their allegiance is to Nigerians and not executives abusing power

Can you imagine! For mere insult, wasting useful energy on nothingness. Is a pity!

Where's the freedom of speech

Confused government

Gud

Now we're not in democracy because nobody have a freedom of speech

Una go arrest tire

I want to park out of naija ooo Who's coming with me to Jupiter?

Really this is legal?

When the government is not doing the right thing to have a bill hate speech. GEJ was insulted many times he did not complain., so Mr Dictator do your job and have Agenda final

Buhari is a mad bigot, come and arrest me

This can not be right

I want to insult president Buhari, but I'll give it 3 more year, at that point these bull dogs only loyal to power would have left his side, there is a time for everything, to insult Buhari nah 3 years remain🙄

Police should also get president Buhari, arrested for not keeping his oat of office to provide adequate security for Nigerians.

Arrested for insulting his mate?.. This country sef

This is the problem I’m having with this government. Buhari should know that he’s a public figure, father to all his pikins both good and bad. Not everyone will love you. If Americans can insult Pres.Trump who’s Buhari?

Na wah ooo persin nor go fit talk again What of those that are not in the country Nigerian govt will do what 🙆🙆

Just imagine This people no dey respect Old man again

Fantabulous!

GEJ was the most insulted president this country has ever produced, yet not one arrest.

How come this people became leaders in this country

This is the same country where Goodluck Jonathan was abused day and night by the same people that are now arresting others.Enjoy your change.

Useless government.. Mtcheew

Nonsense.Buhari is mad. Oya come and arrest me

Listen y'all, better start warming up for 2023. Let's support for once someone outside the circle of this career politicians who have become power drunk. As for this administration there is nothing we can do other than complain. Let's try people from the private sector in 2023

‘Conspiracy and intentional insult against the President and Governor of Katsina state by one Lawal Izala and two others on social media’. 🤡🤡🤡

Congratulations! Rubbish 🚶‍♂

Cyber crime law that was recently passed into law. Nigeria gradually becoming a personal property

Audio Arrest

I regret voting for APC During the 2015 general election.. After destroying our brains with a lot of promises. And up till now people are still suffering.. I prefer PDP regime I swear.

This issue is that people do not differentiate between insults and criticisms. I do criticize Buhari to the best of my knowledge, but I avoid words like fool, idiot, etc. Since we are not mates. He's incompetent, which is fact, but doesn't warrant abuses.

Lol, this country is a joke, how is this solving Nigeria problem. Nigeria is the real definition of ' a ǹ fi ẹ̀pà le, wo làpálàpá'

Truthfully83 Lololololol...... Nothing when pesin no go si for this hole.

Shameful. Mumu president

This is what happens when we purse shadow instead of substance. What time will all the pressing needs of the country be looked into if all you do is to just sit down and listen to every dick, Tom and Harry. A bad workman quarrels with his tools always.

Only in the Zoo.

Sorry is someone's name Buhari? Nonsense

There is freedom of speech but your freedom after speech can't be guaranteed.

Who are the police that arrested him? Is this even a country!

What a man of Integrity.

Who is buhari

Who are these policemen making these arrests? They should be named and called out because unless there is a law saying the president can not be insulted, they are letting their political bias affect the neutrality that is expected of them in the discharge of their duties

The only thing this government do well is intimidating harmless citizens

Under which law were they arrested. I don't know why the NBA is not pushing for police lawyers to examine the legality of every arrest and detention made by the Nigerian police.

Nonsense and Bubu...Like they're gods abi? Awon Eleregbe.

Lol. Very funny, are they aware how many times Donald Trump have been insulted?

family affairs tho... na their problem bdat dem go settle am.

The Baba will soon become a national hero. That's how Buhari made an unknown Nnamdi Kanu a global hero

Freedom of speech is allowed but freedom after speech.. You're on your own.

Of all things to do this period, to arrest a 70 year old man? What happened to the freedom of speech enshrined in the constitution? Y’all should see the way America takes everything about Trump personal and no one is ever arrest. 😩😩😩

Idiotas!

Lol police and Buhari no dey shame.

What stop them from arresting Eric Joyce of Uk , TY Danjuma, Okorocha, Oshiomole and many others who said MBuhari is dead and threatening to exposed the man in ASO ROCK ?

Buhari n illegal arrest

This man?

rubbish and nonsense

GEJ-am the most insulted president in the world,but when I left office,you people will see the hug freedom u enjoyed under my watch, if GEJ acted like PMB lia Mohammed would have been sent to prison during GEJ

military rule in disguise

Them go arrest tire. Mad people

Stupid people why must they arrest him for , Buhari is not a human is a foolish man

Stupidity and misplaced priority

Is it that the 70years old man has lost his Rights to speak or the police are implimenting the bill of Hate speech ?

4get buhari, just look at masari😂😂😂😂😂😂

If realDonaldTrump start arresting those that insult him on a daily, 70% of Americans will be in jail. Awon Oloriburuku, look at them, demons from hell.

😂😂 This Buhari's govt would embarrass it's supporters unprovoked Y'all should be even inviting & learning from senior citizens what ought to be.....

How does this even make sense right now?...With everything going on this is what they're concerned about 🤦‍♀️This energy should be channelled into better things....This country is a big joke😂

Johniky5 Idiot go arrest Nnamdi Kanu

APC!!. CHANGE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 PEOPLE WEY VOTE UNA DY SEE DY CHANGE NOW

MBuhari is insane and fool. Please come and arrest me

Shio!

For maka why

Caricature of tyrants...

please help retweet this

It that even legal?

Where is that Police Officer Ubu or Umbu?. Use and dump is the order of the day! Whereas other pressing issues bedeviling us like: insecurities, kidnappings, hunger, joblessness, terrorism etc. Now tell me who should have time for anything apart from aforementioned vices above?

Stupidity

PoliceNG I know there is nothing anybody can say that will change you but I think all these are not necessary, even when you are being used you should know that you can't be a leader without being insulted. It happens to realDonaldTrump too.

Trevornoah what should realDonaldTrump do to you

Does bubu deserve to be praised 🙄? He’s not even existing to me

Buhari is a disgrace to Democracy.

Buhari: A wicked Malam.

Once a dictator always a dictator.

LMAO. GEJ really needed to use an iron fist.

These are their kind men, am sure they will sort themselves.

Chai, but who can arrest both leaders for their gross incompetence?

Non of you here ever asked if the president knows about the arrest. If this man wan to do that, he would've start from ex governor Fayose and many other people on Twitter.

Funny enough those that making all these arrest now are those that were not just insulting the past but doing many indescribable things to demean it. This government have insulted Nigerians in so many ways but once you talk you are arrested So much for the corrupt free government

The police should be an unbiased umpire, after all they are mates. Let them face each other.

The Nigerian police are just a joke and mockery of force

May the soul of DEMOCRACY rest in perfect peace.

Almost everyone in the US should be arrested too. The insult realDonaldTrump has received from many can drive a sane person nuts

Trash

It's no surprise this Administration and all agencies under it are confused and always misplace it's the primary priority.

Dude we are in global world for God sake. Nigeria police should be ashamed of themselves. World power country his people insult him on social media police didn't make an arrest. Buhari needs to stand straight and treat his people what they deserved..we need good government

So what?

Hmmm

Who'll arrest buhari for insulting us?

Yeye dey smell

PoliceNG PoliceNG_CRU This is nonsense

Mcheew if I slap you eh! No make me vex o,

To stop this... Everyone has to abuse Buhari with the same vigor they abused GEJ... They can't arrest everyone

This country na laughing stock

God please give me the enablement to put things right in this country. I am sincerely tired of all these nonsense

This Man nah serious tyrant

The insults must have pained them very well

Arresting him will not solve the game. The old man should be hear out and see why he was angry with the governor and the so called president.

I think that Police should be nailed to the cross

Which of the old man among does you ppl think nigerians value buhari again

Buhari and Masari must be stupid to allow the rubbish!

PoliceNG are the enemies of the people. Death to everyone of them who arrested that old man.

It is the same aback mentality that makes some think it's right to label blasphemy a crime. While it might be wrong, it should never be a crime. We need to grow!

But Buhari himself did not only insulted Jonathan but also threatened Jonathan's govt. Anyway, They should build a bigger prison to keep arresting angry people voicing out their anger

So upon all the insecurity issues we are facing in this country currently, the only person the police can arrest is who is insulting someone? This country needs to get her Priorities straight and stop playing games

This country is a joke!!! If Trump was to do this in USA, millions of people would've fell victims. Shame!!!

Shebi they get power now.. Congrats to them

Season 2 please, seems mobilepunch is jobless, acting unprofessional. What kinda new?

Police stupidity !!!

PoliceNG pls come & arrest me Want to be popular

Interestingly interesting. Arrest for 'insulting'? Is that now a law to arrest whosoever insults who we elect and put into a position of power?

Leaders would insult our sensibilities on a daily basis without consequences but would be quick to harass, intimidate and persecute those who 'insult' them. This shame can only happen in a despotic regime. As a fact, insulting a President or any government official is no crime.

'When countries engage in disinformation, it creates risk.'

The governor ordered his arrest because he insulted the governor.

Wow 'cybercrime Act'... What a government

hrw

I don't know what's becoming of this Has democracy been ruled out already?

I am sure he follow shout sai baba

God will punish MBuhari and the bastard surrounded him

CNN insults Donald Trump almost on a daily basis, I have never had about any arrest. One of the advantage of democracy is the ability to freely express your views without fear or favour. Tolerance should be engaged.

presidency show me in the whole world by this time and period where the govt will leave to care for the wellbeing of her citizens and be looking for those who are insulting the president? is Nigeria not under a democracy or not? 70 years old arrested for insulting who?NGswakeup

Dat man deserve to be arrested truly, y will he be insulting a non living thing...nd police sef with their 500naira fuel inside tank be acting like iPhone without sub

This Nigeria is a joke lol... no freedom of speech

this man has ruined our democracy big time , took Nigeria back to 60s, even some governors are now following his footsteps like sheep 🐑 following dog 🐶 to eat shit

mtcheeew

PoliceNG free those innocent men

But Shekau is in Sambisa forest always insulting Buhari, what have they done to him.

Who is sinzu spending?

Uhmm, we Don enter am!!!

We should arrest Buhari for insulting Nigerian youths. We should arrest APC members carrying empty casket of Jonathan when he was president. Jonathan got insulted 300% more than a president Buhari that has inferiority complex.

Nonsense

I guess imcompetent is an abuse too

I don't blame MBuhari nor the unfortunate governor of Katsina. I blame the clueless and directionless police force in Katsina, headed by the commissioner in the state. They seem to be seiously idle

Freedom of speech no dey again?

Arrant rubbish.... elrufai that insulted Jesu I hope he has been killed? Stupid people everywhere

If GEJ arrested those insulting him there will be no APC today. If Donal trump starts arresting people insulting him the prisons will be filled up(including one northern governors son). Nigerians enjoy your dictatorship, if u don't learn from our mistakes may the next be worse

This are the kind of things u see and hear when the truth is spoken undiluted. If Buhari has done well, will he be abused?

They should also go and arrest mazi nnamdi kanu Hopeless government

They should hang him. Buhari is god to some people. Abeg Trump would have jailed all his critiques

God! Violation of human right... freedom_of_speech
