The law presumes a person to be a murderer if the person he or she fights and gets injured dies within a year and a day. – Police PRO, Olumuyiwa Adejobi

The Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi has educated Nigerians on some of the practices of the law.

In a video shared on social media, Olumuyiwa harped on people to work on their anger as a mere slap can lead to a person dying and the issue they have will degenerate into a murder case which is not easy to get freed from.

According to him, the law presumes a person to be a murderer if the person he or she fights and gets injured dies within a year and a day.

‘’If you beat somebody, you fight and you cause injury to someone, do you know that if that person dies within a year and a day, the law still presumes you are the one that killed the person, that the injury you have caused this person is still the cause of the death except otherwise stated by experts, autopsy or something else. That is why it is dangerous, he said
