YOU ARE UNDER ARREST is a timely and insightful inquisition into a sensitive aspect of our collective reality especially as it has to do with arrest and sundry issues. The content of the book is quite apt against the background of recent controversies trailing the enforcement and administration of criminal justice across the country and abroad.
The book through practical, pathetic and pervasive true life stories chronicled seemingly harmless conducts that may inevitably lead to avoidable arrest and criminal prosecution which in some cases may attract severe punishment such as life imprisonment and death sentence. The book in a most impressive manner takes the reader through a stimulating journey into the historical development of the mainstream security agencies in Nigeria and issues relating to misconduct and discipline within the security system. Readers are equally afforded the uncommon opportunity of a better understanding of security awareness with respect to personal, documentary and facility security respectively. It tackles core special operational matters with ample recommendations on sectorial reform.
This book is a guide to know the Reader’s right to personal liberty and other rights when under arrest, and also a check to the consciousness of security personnel who indulge in unwholesome practices in defiance of clear statutory stipulation.
In the words of AIG Tunde Ogunsakin rtd Acl.Arb (UK) “this book is a potent and inclusive herald of the dawn of an emerging renaissance in the way and manner arrest is carried out in Nigeria and over the world.”
It is recommended to all security operatives (private and public), legal practitioners, jurist, and members of the public irrespective of their intellectual, professional and social background
