Popular Nigerian lawyer Stan Alieke has advised his fans to honour invitations from security agencies when summoned.

According to him, it is more honourable to comply with such invitations, as the worst-case scenario would be temporary detention, after which a lawyer can secure one’s release.

However, he emphasized that ignoring a police invitation gives them grounds to arrest you, potentially using force if resistance is encountered.

Stan Alieke wrote on his Instastory:
"As your lawyer I'd advise you that whenever the police or any law enforcement agency invites you to honour the invite & go, it's more honourable that way, the worst that could happen is that they detain you & your lawyer bail you out.

If the police invite you & you don't go, you have given them a reason to come & arrest you & even exert any amount of reasonable force in arresting you if you try to resist the arrest or even publicly declare you wanted- you may not want that."
