This looks to me as a law for public disturbance of peace. More of a violent display of behaviour in PUBLIC

Hence I don't see anything public in a whatsapp message or marriage

We done see am, That guy name again prince kpokpogir, that guy will serve life imprisonments and that woman called tiwa savage and useless cross from BBnaija wey them both decieve us say them post nude by mistake on snapchat,

They think say we be children, SNAPCHAT done turn human robot now wey dey find nude pictures and videos dey post by himself


Nonsense people, antichrist come and carry your people jare,
Anything just to trend

Damnnn niggar
This people are funny...

Me that normally sends and use the word "sweet heart sugar and baby girl" for one of my married female friend and she even like it

Shebi am breaching the peace in thier marriage ...

We are in the 21 first century....not some ancient days

Aisha Buhari Good morning my sugar baby.

Even if the law of land says nothing about it, I think it's only irresponsible and nuisance man that can only say hello babe to someone else wife, it's totally wrong and shameless attitude

Can't believe this was a court case to begin with. Very petty people

The section said public peace a such fighting between husband & wife will surely breach public peace (noise & insults).
The devil calling a married woman babe has the actus reus of flirting her.

How is sending someone good morning text a public disturbance?

He can easily say he doesn't know the said lady is married nah

many daft Naira landers commenting that what the man did is not a crime, na because many of nna never serve or go jail before. A law is a law. Why the hell will you text married woman babe.

WhatsApp is not a public place.

Dem no fit do am anything.

But when these married law makers sleep with all the bbn and nollywood girls, that is not disturbing the peace in their marriage?
Nigerians, you deserve your leaders.

These statutory provisions have to be interpreted restrictively otherwise you violate the speaker's freedom of speech constitutional rights.

Any range of speeches can be creatively interpreted as causing likely breach of peace: criticise Nnamdi Kanu or Buhari and you could be arrested for the potential breach of peace due to the provocation of Kanu/Buhari supporters.

Criticise Chelsea, Man Utd or Arsenal in a viewing centre, for instance, and you may be accused of breaching the peace by annoying their fans. You see where this leads?

Is WhatsApp message a public place??
