He said, “We were here when a lawmaker assaulted & threatened a cab driver last year (2024) and he went free. Toke Benson will be lucky if she gets sanctioned. Don’t forget how Lagos State govt handled those who wanted to incite violence during the last election, I won’t hold my breath”
His post has sparked conversation about privilege and power. Many have commented, expressing their anger and worry about the Nigerian justice system. Celebrity note has gathered some of those comments:
@JacobAmeh6 said, “This country just has money and connection… you are free to oppress anyone”.
@HarryAgada added “Politicians and powerful people go free anytime they commit, only the poor ones suffer the consequences”.
@gemma_ge81836 added, “Let’s deal with that poor Igbo teacher for beating a student 😂😂😂. Politicians are good people, only poor people should be in jail 😂😂😂”.
@vincentmindless responded, “You have been paid by the enemies of progress to maliciously defame people but you will not succeed because APC was chosen by God to serve us”.
@Flowboy_Emo added, “This is a case of ‘Who bit my fingernails’. Nobody can really hold anybody accountable for their actions. It’s the last step before anarchy. When people no longer trust the system, they begin to take the law into their hands.”
Some see Regha’s post as a call for accountability, others see it as an attack on politicians. Overall, his post shows the need for transparency and fairness in governance as citizens demand justice for all, no matter your status.
